Brandon Boggs drove in the winning run in the top of the 14th inning on a double. Starling Marte was 2/6 with three strikeouts, and Jose Tabata, Anderson Hernandez, and Boggs all had two hits a piece to join him. Jeff Locke had a weird start, pitching five innings and walking seven while striking out nine. All of that action and he gave up just one run on four hits. Chris Leroux was dominant in four scoreless innings of work, he struck out five. Duke Welker and Tim Wood added two inning outings while holding the Mudhens off the board.
AA Altoona | Altoona 7 Reading 1
Adalberto Santos and Ramon Cabrera had three hits a piece and paced the Curve on the way to a 7-1 win over Reading. Santos homered twice and drove in three runs, Cabrera homered once and matched that RBI count. They were the offense tonight. Matt Curry also added a solo home run. Kyle McPherson made another nice start, striking out eight in five innings and allowing just one run on three hits. He's been getting a ton of swings and misses recently and looks to be back on pace where he left off last year. Logan Kensing and Victor Black pitched scoreless innings to sure up the victory.
