Armando Arevalo pitched two scoreless innings for the Generals with three strikeouts.
Alvaro Rondon led the Generals offensively going 2-for-5 on the night.
With the loss, the Generals fall to 22-25 on the season and 5-12 in the second-half. The Bombers improve to 37-11 overall and 11-7 in the second-half.
