OKLAHOMA CITY - – The Dodgers suddenly powerful offense erased an early 4-0 deficit with a seven-run third inning en route to a 9-8 win over the Flying Chanclas on Saturday night at Bricktown Ballpark.
Starter Bubba Derby was on the receiving end of the Dodgers big frame. Derby exited after pitching into the fifth inning. The right-hander was charged with a career high nine runs while allowing a career high-tying three homeruns. Derby's outing continued a tough stretch for the starting rotation, which has recorded a 9.50 ERA over the team's last 10 games, yet San Antonio has won eight of those.
