Oklahoma City was one of two Dodger affiliates to win on Friday. Tulsa and Rancho Cucamonga lost one-run games that put their division chases in jeopardy.
Player of the day
Right-hander Nick Tepesch was signed to a minor league contract on June 6. He's made three starts for Oklahoma City and on Thursday, he had his best game of the year. Tepesch pitched eight innings, allowed a run, three hits and struck out eight. He also went 2-for-4 at the plate with an RBI as well, his first-ever professional run batted in.
Triple-A Oklahoma City
The Dodgers won 6-2 over the Zephyrs (Marlins) with solid combination of very good starting pitching and a 14-hit attack that scored six runs.
