Allan Dykstra followed with an RBI single. Cory Vaughn, who returned to left field Sunday after missing time with an elbow injury, capped the inning's scoring when he beat out a potential double-play ball.

Cesar Puello rounded out the B-Mets' scoring in the sixth with a solo homer, his team-leading fifth long ball. B-Mets starter Rafael Montero settled down after falling behind early. A one-out, first-inning double by Carlos Moncrief gave Akron a 1-0 lead.

Montero ultimately scattered eight hits over six innings and picked up his fourth win. Chase Huchingson contributed two scoreless relief innings. Closer Jeff Walters earned his league-leading 10th save. Box
