Today’s Game: The Oklahoma City Baseball Club continues its 12-game road trip and opens a six-game series against the Sacramento River Cats at 2:05 p.m. CT at Sutter Health Park…Oklahoma City opened its road trip with a 3-3 series split against the league-leading Sugar Land Space Cowboys, winning the series finale Sunday at Constellation Field.

Last Game: Miguel Vargas hit a grand slam in the sixth inning that provided the difference in a 7-4 win for the Oklahoma City Baseball Club against the Sugar Land Space Cowboys Sunday afternoon at Constellation Field. Sugar Land took the game’s first lead on a RBI single by César Salazar in the first inning, but OKC quickly responded with Andre Lipcius leading off the second inning with a solo home run out to center field to tie the game, 1-1. A RBI double by Vargas put Oklahoma City in front and Trey Sweeney followed with a RBI single for a 3-1 OKC advantage in the third inning. With two outs and two strikes in the sixth inning, Vargas connected on a grand slam out to left field for a 7-1 lead. A three-run homer by Sugar Land’s David Hensley in the bottom of the sixth inning cut OKC’s lead to three runs. Sugar Land would go on to bring the tying run to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, but OKC pitcher Michael Petersen got Cooper Hummel to line out to second baseman Jonathan Araúz to end the game.

Today’s Probable Pitcher: Dinelson Lamet (2-1) looks to continue his recent roll when he starts today’s matinee…On May 7 in Sugar Land, Lamet completed his second consecutive outing with five scoreless innings. He allowed two hits and issued a season-high four walks to go along with two strikeouts. Lamet held the Space Cowboys 0-for-7 with runners on base, including 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position, but did not factor into the decision of OKC’s eventual loss in 10 innings…May 1 against Salt Lake at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, Lamet pitched a season-high 5.0 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and three walks…
