Dragons Down Toros, 3-2
In a low-scoring contest between the Portland Dragons and the Tucson Toros, Oscar Mercado was the X factor. The Portland right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Mercado got the win, improving to 8-9. He gave up 8 hits and walked 2 over 6.1 innings. He allowed 2 runs. With the victory, the Dragons record stands at 77-66.

Portland used a well-timed hit by Xadreque Esperana to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Dragons ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"There are no moral victories," said losing manager Rick Barnes.
