Dave Roberts was 3-for-3 with a homer, triple, double and three RBIs, and the Fresno Grizzlies overcame an early three-run deficit with nine unanswered runs over a four-inning span on their way to a 10-6 victory over the Portland Beavers Tuesday night at Chukchansi Park.

After digging a 3-0 hole, the Grizzlies overtook Portland (46-44) with a three-run third and eventually upped their lead to 9-3 on the strength of a four-run fifth.

Roberts, with the Grizzlies on a major league rehab assignment, also drew a walk and came a single shy of hitting for the cycle before coming out for a pinch-runner in the fifth. He tripled and scored in the third, hit a solo homer in the fourth and contributed to Fresno’s four-run rally in the fifth with a two-run double.

Steve Holm was 2-for-3 with a double and three RBIs for the Grizzlies (42-49), who have won three straight against Portland.

Despite allowing six runs and nine hits over 5 1/3 innings, Fresno starter Patrick Misch (4-3) picked up the win, his second over the Beavers this season.

Justin Huber was 3-for-5 with an RBI double, Craig Stansberry had three hits for the second night in a row and Brett Dowdy clubbed a three-run homer in the sixth and was 2-for-4 with two runs scored to lead the Beavers, who out-hit the Grizzlies 13-12.

Portland’s Wade LeBlanc (7-7) gave up eight runs (7 earned), 10 hits and three walks while striking out six over 4 1/3 innings for the loss in his first appearance against Fresno this season.

The Beavers and Grizzlies reconvene Wednesday night at 7:05 p.m.
