The Kansas City T-Bones beat the Sioux City Explorers 6-4 Sunday night at Mercy Field at Lewis and Clark Park in Sioux City, Iowa, sweeping the three-game series and moving into a first-place tie with Lincoln, which was rained out on Sunday.
Matt Sergey (2-0) went 6 2/3 innings to get the win, giving up three earned runs, while striking out 10. It was the second straight night that a Kansas City starter had hit the 10 strike out mark, after Scott Carroll struck out 10 the night before.
Jordan Edgerton drove in a pair of runs on three hits including a triple and a double, and Kyle Petty, Chantz Mack and Leo Rojas all drove in a run each in the win.
The bullpen was once again stellar as Rich Mascheri and Cody Winiarski each worked scoreless innings with Winiarski earning his ninth save of the season. The loss went to Ryan Flores (1-1) in relief for Sioux City.
The T-Bones finished the road trip 5-1 with a 2-1 series win at Lincoln and earning their first road sweep of the season and their second of the season in the three game sweep at Sioux City. Kansas City is a season-high seven games above .500 as the team returns home to begin a seven-game home stand.
The T-Bones return home at 7:05 p.m. Monday, July 3, to face Sioux Falls in the first game of a three-game series and a seven-game home stand. There are fireworks planned after the July 3 and July 4 games.
