“That’s all we got, one *$#$^& hit.”ÂÂ
Harry Doyle would have been disgusted watching the Bats offense in this loss.  Corky Miller’s 8th inning homerun wound up being the only hit the Bats’ offense could muster.  The homerun came with 2 outs in the 8th inning and was Miller’s 2nd of the season.
Ben Jukich pitched 5 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits and 4 walks to pick up his first loss of the season. Jesus Delgado pitched 2 scoreless innings in relief to lower his ERA t0 2.00 in 9 Triple-A innings. He pitched 2 scoreless innings earlier in the season with Carolina.

Daryl Thompson had his start shortened by rain. Thompson went 3 hitless innings, striking out 3. The bullpen pitched the final 6 innings and was brutal!
