Big Day for Baker in 11-4 Bees Win
No one was more impactful than Luken Baker in the 11-4 Salt Lake win over Iowa. Baker, who is tied for 2nd in the PC in total bases with 221, went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Jordan Balazovic earned the win to go to 2-0. He allowed 2 runs on 7 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts in 5.1 innings of work. Salt Lake improves to 66-47 with the win. They lead their division by 9 games.

The Bees got an important contribution from center fielder Patrick Payne, who in the bottom of the third punched a full count cutter into left-center for a 2-run double. It was his 17th double of the season and put the Bees ahead, 6-2.

"I like our moxie," said Bees manager Mike Martin Jr..
