WEST SACRAMENTO - The River Cats spotted Tucson a six-run lead after three innings on Tuesday and their comeback attempt came up just short as they fell 6-5 at Raley Field.
Travis Foley, normally in the bullpen, started in place of Shane Komine, who was called up to the Oakland A's. Foley allowed five runs on six hits and recorded just four outs. After Foley exited, three Sacramento relievers allowed just one run on six hits the rest of the game.
J.D. Closser hit a solo home run in the fifth and Jorge Piedra had three RBIs for the River Cats, who took three out of four from the Sidewinders.
Sacramento will head to Fresno for a crucial five-game series against the second-place Grizzlies before the all-star break. Fresno fell to Las Vegas 9-5 on Tuesday, preserving Sacramento’s two-game division lead.
Both Kevin Melillo and Landon Powell, who exited Monday’s game with injuries, were placed on the disabled list before Tuesday’s contest.
