Esparza Slugs Hops to 9-5 Win
Benefiting from an exceptional performance from Jorge Esparza, the Yakima Hops defeated the Ottawa Nationals, 9-5. Esparza went 3-3 with 2 home runs and 2 walks, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for the Hops. Yakima reliever Chris McDonald picked up the win, upping his record to 4-4. Jim Maxwell was saddled with the loss. Ottawa has now lost 4 in a row.

Esparza had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 2-0 fastball from Jim Maxwell, he banged a 2-run home run to left, giving the Hops a 6-5 lead. It was the 9th home run of the year for Esparza.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Esparza told the Yakima Observer. "It's as simple as that."
