The Colorado Springs Sky Sox got a superb performance from pitcher Juan Mercado, but the Sacramento River Cats still won the game, 5-3. Mercado threw 7.1 innings of 3-hit ball. Sacramento is now 59-74, Colorado Springs 59-74.

Sacramento got a clutch hit from Kevin Kiermaier. The pinch hitter launched a grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a kill shot.

"This place was rocking at the end," Kiermaier said.
