Former Salt Lake Bees pitcher Matt Kinney tossed a complete game five hitter, as the Fresno Grizzlies downed the Bees 7-1 on Monday night.

Kinney (5-8), who was 5-2 for the Buzz in 2000, retired the first 15 batters he faced until Ben Johnson led off the sixth inning with a double to right center.

He struck out six and did not issue a walk.

Fresno grabbed a 3-0 lead three batters into the bottom of the first, as Salt Lake starter Brad Knox walked Eugenio Velez, hit Kevin Frandsen and surrendered a three-run homer to John Bowker.

Jake Wald extended the advantage to 5-0 with a two-run shot in the second. Knox (4-4) went six innings and allowed six runs on seven hits with three walks and one strikeout. Reggie Willits led the Bees with two hits, including a double, and he drove in the only Salt Lake run with a single in the sixth inning.
