There was no further scoring until the 10th inning. Urbaez singled in Reniel Ozuna from third with one out when he hit a hard ground ball that was knocked down by the second baseman, who could not make a play at any base. Alex McGarry followed with a single to right that advanced Urbaez to third, and Quin Cotton grounded out to third base to drive in Urbaez and make it 4-2.
Pedro Garcia pitched the bottom of the 10th for the Dragons. He allowed a two-out single that brought in the free runner from second base to make it 4-3, but avoided further trouble when Shane Sellman lined out to Victor Ruiz at third base to end the game. Garcia (5-1) was credited with the win and moved into a tie for the league lead in victories despite making only nine appearances on the year, all out of the bullpen.
First-place Dayton (29-21) has a two-game lead over Lake County in the High-A Central League East Division standings.
