Legends Beat Tourists, 6-4
The Lexington Legends picked up a win at McCormick Field, taking down the Asheville Tourists, 6-4. Starting pitcher Jesus Esparza was a big reason why. Esparza got the win, improving to 4-11. He gave up 4 hits and walked 1 over 7 innings. He allowed 2 runs. Picking up the save was Javier Mendez, his 1st.

Lexington used a clutch at-bat from T.J. McCullough to capture the win. The shortstop hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Legends ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We'll grab a cold beverage tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Esparza said.

The first-place Tourists dropped to 85-53.
