Andrew Moss, perfect in his last outing, wasn't quite as perfect Monday night, but good enough to notch his third win of the season.
The Batavia Muckdogs beat Tri-Cities 9-6 behind the hitting of catcher Audris Perez, a third-year pro out of the Dominican Republic. Perez had three hits, driving in four base runners.
Second baseman Colin Walsh had the team's only other multi-hit game with two singles. Walsh, a first-year pro from San Diego and a product of Stanford, recently joined the team from Johnson City.
For the second time of the season, Nick Longmire homered in the lead off spot. It was his fourth homer of the season.
Moss went 5 1/3 innings, surrendering three runs on three hits, but he also walked five batters.
Jose Rada fanned two hitters in the ninth to pick up his fourth save.
The Muckdogs are in Tri-Cities again tonight, have Wednesday off and start a three-game home stand Thursday against Connecticut.
