Rafters Saddle Kingpins with 4-2 Loss
Getting an impressive start from Ramón Vásquez, Grand Rapids beat Iowa City by the score of 4-2. Vásquez, now 5-0, was the winner. In 5.1 innings, he gave up 2 hits, while striking out 6, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. Jong-pil Song locked down his 15th save.

Yataro Takaki had a big run-scoring triple for the Rafters in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Grand Rapids leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a slider from 27-year old left-handed pitcher Manuel Gómez and swatted a triple to left-center. It was his 1st triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Rafters ahead, 2-0.

Grand Rapids manager Alberto Flores commended his team for delivering "maximum effort."

The second-place Rafters improved to 26-16.
