The Storm Chasers dropped to 65-54 and saw their lead in the PCL American North sliced to 4.5 games over now-second place Nashville.
Gil Velazquez’s RBI single, a solo home run by Navarro and a sacrifice fly to center by Alexi Amarista gave the Bees a 3-0 lead in the second inning.
Omaha left the bases loaded in the third but posted a pair of runs in the fourth, on a bases loaded walk to Manny Pina and an Irving Falu sacrifice fly, to trim the lead to one. However, Salt Lake got a run back in the bottom of the inning on an RBI double from Rian Kiniry, who was later thrown out at the plate by Lorenzo Cain trying to score on an Amarista single.
Chasers starter Jeff Suppan took the loss, just his second in 11 decisions since May 6, after allowing five runs on 10 hits over six innings. He struck out six and walked three, falling to 11-6. McAnulty hit his home run off Robinson Tejeda in the seventh to account for the final margin.
Bay allowed two runs on eight hits and was the beneficiary of four double plays that were turned behind him. The visitors had runners at second and third base with one out in the eighth but could not score and put runners at first and second with out in the ninth before David Lough bounced into a game-ending twin-killing.
The series continues Saturday at 8:05 pm with Omaha right-hander Luis Mendoza (8-5, 2.26) taking the mound against Salt Lake righty Trevor Bell (2-2, 5.08).
