The San Antonio Missions had 12 hits including three home runs to beat the Sacramento River Cats 8-4 Tuesday at Wolff Stadium.

Trent Grisham homered twice and hit for the cycle and Hernan Perez had two hits including a home run. Grisham has 13 home runs since moving up from Double-A on June 20. Perez had five home runs in the last eight games.

David Freitas had two hits, walked once and scored twice.

Corbin Burnes started on the mound for the Missions and went two innings. The plan is for him to get reliever type innings, so the short was expected.

Thomas Jankins, usually a starter, had the longest stint on the mound. Jankins (10-3) went five innings and allowed three runs on five hits with four strikeouts and two walks to earn the win.

Alex Wilson and Angel Perdomo pitched one inning each to finish the game.

Nate Orf caps Missions’ 12th-inning rally

Nate Orf’s sacrifice fly ended the San Antonio Missions’ four-hour, 12-inning 5-4 victory over the Reno Aces on Saturday night at Wolff stadium.

The Aces scored a run in the top of the 12th to take a 4-3 lead.

The Missions’ Mauricio Dubon delivered an RBI single to score Troy Stokes Jr. with the tieing run in the bottom of the 12th.

Orf lofted a fly ball to left field to bring home Jake Hager from third with the winning run.

Dubon finished the game with three hits including a double. David Freitas, who is batting .363, had a hit and two RBIs.

Missions reliever Alex Wilson (3-0) pitched the top of the 12th inning and got the win.

Twice in three days, Jake Hager stepped up to the plate with the game on the line.

Both times Hager came through with a hit that gave the San Antonio Missions a victory.

After producing a walk-off hit on Sunday at Wolff Stadium, Hager did it again Tuesday night.

This time Hager’s single in the bottom of the 10th inning gave the Missions a 1-0 victory over the New Orleans Baby Cakes.

Under the extra-innings rule, the Missions started the bottom of the 10th with Cory Spangenberg on second base. Nate Orf had a bunt single to advance Spangenberg to third. Jacob Nottingham got an intentional walk to load the bases.

That brought Hager to the plate. He responded with his 12th RBI of the season.

The Missions used five pitchers to combine for the 10-inning shutout. Aaron Wilkerson started and pitched five innings. Alex Wilson (1-0) pitched the top of the 10th inning and got the win. The Missions got the final two outs in the top of the 10th with a double play.

    Miguel Sanchez made his first start of the season for the San Antonio Missions on Sunday.

    For the season, Sanchez is 1-2 with a 2.93 ERA.

    Left-hander Donnie Hart (1-1) came in for Sanchez in the fourth inning and got the win. Hart pitched 1 2/3 innings and allowed one hit. Alex Wilson and Deolis Guerra pitched one inning each to finish the game.
