Joplin second baseman Juan Gruzmán was sensational. He went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Minneapolis beat the Fireballs, 6-5. Gruzmán was named the player of the game despite the loss. The winner was Jorge Olivo, who threw 113 pitches over 6 innings. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs on 6 hits. Joplin now has a 9-game losing streak.

Alex Moreno, who is tied for 9th in the DKL in extra base hits with 29, chipped in for Minneapolis with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the third. For the game, the designated hitter had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 RBI.

"We're our own worst enemy right now," said Joplin skipper Chance Jackson.
