Casey Lawrence got bombed today, ten hits, eight runs in 3.2 innings. Yosver Zulueta got four outs while allowing two hits. Mitch White came out of the bullpen and pitched a 1-2-3 sixth.
Offensively Luis De Los Santos hit his first AAA home run of the season. LJ Talley had three hits, Otto Lopez two.
New Hampshire took a 4-0 lead in the third inning. Damiano Palmegiani drove in three runs with two hits. Adam Kloffenstein cruised through five innings, Reading had just two hits off him. But in the sixth Reading tripled their hits to six and those four sixth inning hits gave them two runs. Luis Quinones gave up a two run home run in the seventh to tie the game. Then in the ninth Troy Watson walked a pair and a double let Reading to ahead. Adrian Hernandez relieved Watson and walked a pair which led to the sixth run scoring. It was a bad day for the bullpen.
Vancouver got off to a fast start. Alex De Jesus tripled in two runs in the first inning and he was followed by Gabriel Martinez who homered. Michael Turconi singled and scored the fifth run. Then he added a sac fly to make it 6-0 in the fourth. Turconi singled again in the seventh to drive in the seventh run. He finished the day 3-3. Alan Roden, Josh Kasevich and Gabriel Martinez each had two hits.
