Luis Mendoza had another good start, and allowed his only run on 2 hits in the 4th. The Chasers answered with 3 runs in the 5th on a Kila Ka'aihue 3-run blast for his 8th of the season. Then they padded the lead with 4 in the 6th on a Lorenzo Cain bases-loaded walk, Clint Robinson sac fly, and 2-run Salvador Perez single that made it 12-1. Cain singled in a run in the 7th to finish the scoring for Omaha. Robinson Tejeda allowed a late run but worked a 3-inning save. Omaha is 61-49 after the 4-game sweep of OKC.

The Rangers scored 3 in the 2nd off Buddy Baumann and Stephen Lumpkins, but a run-scoring error got the Royals on the board in the bottom of the inning. The Rangers added 2 in the 3rd...and the Royals responded with a run on Cameron Gallagher's first pro RBI single.
