Right-hander Casey Kelly set a team-high for innings pitched, going eight strong to lead the Dorados de Sacramento (17-15) to their fourth straight win in a 7-1 victory over Las Abejas de Salt Lake (20-12).

Las Abejas managed just one run on six hits facing Kelly, who logged his second consecutive quality outing and team-high third win. He struck out six and walked none, giving him just one free pass over his last 15 innings pitched.

Outfielder Austin Slater 's two-run, opposite-field homer highlighted a three-run third inning for the Dorados, while designated hitter Chris Shaw launched a two-run opposite-field shot of his own in the team's four-run fourth inning. For Shaw, it was his team-leading ninth home run of the season, moving him into a tie for fourth in the Pacific Coast League.

Right-hander Jose Flores (0-2, 4.50) will be on the hill Wednesday afternoon for the River Cats to face Bees righty Félix Peña (0-0, 4.05). First pitch is set for 12:05 p.m. (PT).

Additional Notes



Austin Slater currently owns the longest active hitting streak on the club as he pushed his run to eight games with his third inning home run.

The Dorados pitching staff tied their season-best by allowing just one run to Las Abejas on Tuesday night. They also held the Las Vegas 51s to one run back on May 1.
