Rainiers Solve Buzz, 6-3
Behind the bravura of catcher Scott Servais, the Tacoma Rainiers topped the Salt Lake City Buzz by the score of 6-3. Servais was 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Rainiers. The win was Larry Casian's in relief. His record improves to 3-0. Donnie Elliott took the loss for Salt Lake City. Tony Fossas earned the save for Tacoma, his 18th.

Tacoma needed the clutch hitting of Nick Esasky to notch the win. The designated hitter hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Rainiers on top, 6-3. For the game, Esasky had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Servais.

Tacoma has a 3-game win streak, while Salt Lake City has lost 3 in a row.
