Jacob Soares looked comfortable as he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Arroyo is 2-1 when Soares allows three or fewer hits, but 4-7 otherwise.
On the hitting side, Gabe Zamora and Marco Carbajal did most of the damage at the plate: Zamora scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2, while Carbajal scored two runs while going 3-for-4. Those two runs gave Zamora a new career-high. Jered Montenegro also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
Arroyo kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
The victory (which was Arroyo's third in a row) raised their record to 6-8. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.3 runs over those games. As for Hayward, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-11 record this season.
