MIDLAND, Texas (AP) _ The Tulsa Drillers rally from a four-run deficit to beat the Midland RockHounds 8-6.

Tulsa trailed 6-2 after five innings last night, but scored three times in the sixth and once each in the final three innings to make a winner of reliever Joshua Newman.

Jim Miller pitched a hitless ninth for Tulsa to pick up his second save of the baseball season.
