Peoria Chiefs
The Peoria Chiefs lost to the Beloit Snappers (Twins), 3-2.
Starting pitcher Yao-Lin Wang only made two real mistakes: a pair of back-to-back home runs in the second inning to Miguel Sano and Kennys Vargas. Other than that, he was impressive, allowing only three hits over six innings. Wang walked two and struck out four.
Austin Reed made one big mistake: In the eighth inning, he walked in the eventual winning run. Reed pitched two innings and allowed the one run on three hits and two walks, one of which was intentional. The run was unearned, but it was the result of Reed's own error.
Right fielder Jorge Soler was 2 for 3 with a double. He scored once.

Starting pitcher Jose Arias threw six innings and allowed two runs on six hits. He didn't walk anyone and struck out four.
