ROSEMONT, IL – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (12-16) slugged five home runs en route to an 8-3 win over the Chicago Dogs (14-15) Tuesday evening at Impact Field.
Chicago opened the scoring in the bottom of the first on a solo home run from Jacob Teter. Winnipeg responded quickly as Matthew Warkentin hit the first of his two home runs in the top of the second to tie the game 1-1.
The Goldeyes broke things open in the fifth inning with a four-run outburst, all courtesy of the long ball. Ray-Patrick Didder led off the frame with a solo shot to give Winnipeg the lead. After Keshawn Lynch reached on a single, Gustavo Sosa followed with his first home run of the season to extend the advantage to 4-1. Jacob Robson capped the inning with a solo blast to make it 5-1.
Warkentin continued the power surge in the sixth inning, launching his second home run of the night off the video board in left field to make it 6-1.
Chicago cut the deficit to 6-3 in the bottom of the sixth on a two-run home run by Brantley Bell, but the Goldeyes added a pair of insurance runs in the ninth. Warkentin singled home Ramón Bramasco before Tanner O’Tremba drove in Max Murphy to close out the scoring.
Jesse Galindo (W, 2-1) earned his second win of the season, delivering a quality start with six innings of work. He allowed three runs on six hits, walking one and striking out three. Brock Bell (L, 1-3) took the loss for Chicago, surrendering five runs on six hits over 4.2 innings.
The Goldeyes bullpen was flawless over the final three innings. Ryder Yakel worked 1.2 scoreless innings with two strikeouts, Ben Onyshko retired the only batter he faced, and Trevor Brigden struck out the side in the ninth to seal the victory.
The series continues Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m. CDT. Landen Bourassa (2-3, 3.24 ERA) will start for Winnipeg against Chicago’s John Baker (3-1, 3.09 ERA).
