SAN BERNARDINO (AP) — Will Gilbert got Jack Kruger to hit into a double play in the seventh inning, leading the Stockton Ports to a 5-4 win over the Inland Empire 66ers on Monday.

Inland Empire took the lead in the first when Jared Walsh hit a three-run home run.

Trailing 4-3, the Ports took the lead for good with two runs in the seventh inning. Jonah Heim and Dairon Blanco both drove in runs en route to the one-run lead.

Starter Brian Howard (4-2) got the win while Carlos Salazar (0-2) took the loss in relief in the California League game. Miguel Romero struck out the side for his seventh save of the season.
