The Salt Lake Buzz overcame a five-run deficit on Wednesday, August 2 to finish off the Tucson Sidewinders and sweep the series.
The Sidewinders came out hot scoring five runs in the first six innings.
Byung-Hyun Kim, who was just sent down from Arizona, pitched four hitless innings and struck out six Buzz batters.

Brian Buchanan led off the inning with a home run while Mike Moriarty knocked a triple to drive in three runs.
Doug Mientkiewicz popped a two-run homer with Luis Rivas and John Barnes each driving in a run.
