Swan struck out a career-high 8 in his second 6-inning start in a row for Great Lakes. Feduccia started a winning rally in the ninth inning for Oklahoma City.
Three of four Dodgers minor league affiliates won their games on Wednesday.
Player of the day
Eriq Swan continued his strong stretch for Great Lakes, striking out a career-high eight in six innings on Wednesday, allowing just one run on two hits and a pair of walks. A fourth-round pick of the Dodgers in 2023, Swan has pitched six innings in each of his last two starts after capping out at four innings in his previous professional outings, dating back to last season.
Swan on Monday was named Midwest League pitcher of the week after six scoreless, hitless innings last Thursday. The right-hander has allowed zero or one run in five of his last six starts, with a 2.84 ERA and 33.3-percent strikeout rate during that span.
Triple-A Oklahoma City
Albuquerque has been a hitting haven, especially for Oklahoma City in the previous two trips to the high elevation in New Mexico, averaging over 10 runs per game. But that hasn’t transpired so far this week. The Comets scored just once in the first eight innings on Wednesday before rallying for four in the ninth inning to beat the Isotopes (Rockies).
Hunter Feduccia started the winning rally with his third hit of the day, a double. That was followed by three straight singles, then Nick Senzel doubled home a pair to give Oklahoma City the lead, the Comets’ fifth straight hit to open the ninth inning.
Landon Knack in his first start since getting optioned had a very Pacific Coast League start, striking out eight but also allowing four runs with three walks in 5⅓ innings.
Oklahoma City’s first run on Tuesday came on a sixth-inning triple by James Outman, who scored on a balk. Outman had two hits in this one and has 12 extra-base hits in 17 games since getting sent down.
Double-A Tulsa
Drillers batters managed only three hits in a shutout loss to the Springfield Cardinals. Catcher Yeiner Fernandez had two of the hits, including a double.
High-A Great Lakes
Swan was backed by a balanced offense, with a hit by seven of the nine players in the Loons lineup to beat the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (Brewers).
Zyhir Hope singled twice, walked, and stole two bases. Josue De Paula singled, walked, and scored two runs. Kyle Nevin had a two-run double. Mike Sirota walked, stole a base, scored a run, had an RBI triple in the win.

Low-A Rancho Cucamonga
The Quakes scored early and often in a rout of the Inland Empire 66ers (Angels).
Second baseman Elijah Hainline drove in four including a three-run home run, and also stole a base. Right fielder Jose Meza had two hits, walked once, stole two bases, and scored three runs. The Quakes stole eight bases on the night, and on the season have 61 more steals than any other team in the California League, through 59 games.
Brandon Dufault, the Inland Empire starting pitcher, was so wild that Quakes batters literally took pitches by Dufault. He threw 39 pitches, only 13 of them for strikes, and walked four and hit another of his 10 batters faced, allowing four runs (two of them earned) while recording only three outs.
In all, Rancho Cucamonga batters walked 12 times. Eduardo Quintero walked three times, singled and scored twice.
Quakes starter Logan Tabeling walked four batters himself, but also struck out four and allowed only one run in five innings to earn the win.
