WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (11-15) were held to just two hits in a 9-0 loss to the Kansas City Monarchs (19-7) on Saturday evening at Blue Cross Park.
Monarchs’ left-hander Josh Hendrickson (3-1) turned in a dominant outing, tossing six no-hit innings while walking three and striking out a season-high 15 batters—setting a new American Association mark for 2025.
Kansas City opened the scoring in the first inning when Jorge Bonifacio doubled home Isiah Gilliam. Gilliam extended the lead in the fifth with a solo home run to make it 2-0.
The Monarchs broke the game open in the sixth inning, batting around to score five runs. Josh Bissonette lifted a sacrifice fly to score Ross Adolph, followed by a two-run double from Álvaro González. John Nogowski capped the inning with a two-run single, scoring both Gilliam and González.
Adolph added a solo home run in the top of the ninth to round out the scoring.
