— Bradenton (11-8) got a good start from Oddy Nunez, but lost to Tampa, 4-3. Nunez went six innings, giving up four hits and two runs. He walked nobody and fanned six. Half of Tampa’s six hits came from Adam Lind, who’s evidently starting to work his way back to the majors. Alfredo Reyes went 2-3 with his second home run for the Marauders. Tyler Gaffney went 1-2 with two hit batsmen, giving him seven in 13 games. Bligh Madris had a rough day, going 0-5 with three strikeouts and leaving the tying run on third to end the game.

Adam Oller followed and retired 11 of the next 12 hitters, but with two out in the ninth he gave up a walk and a homer. The Power had only four hits, half of them by Ryan Peurifoy. Their 3-4-5 hitters — Deon Stafford, Mason Martin and Dylan Busby — combined to go 0-for-12 with eight strikeouts.
