Rowe came up short against Vela in their previous meeting back in March, falling 10-6. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Vela's Jaylene Rodriguez, who struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and five unearned) runs off five hits (and only one walk).
