Virgil Vasquez’s troubles continued and he fell to 6-11 in the Hens 8-5 loss to Pawtucket.  He gave up six runs on eight hits in just 2 1/3 innings.

Mike Hessman belted two homers and he drove in three in the loss.  We’ll miss his bat come Olympic time.  Clete Thomas went two for four with a run.

A solid start by Yorman Bazardo went to waste as the Pawtucket Red Sox edged the Mud Hens 3-2.  Bazardo gave up three runs on six hits and three walks with six strikeouts in seven innings and the loss dropped him to 4-6 on the season.

Clete Thomas went two for four in the loss.  Derek Wathan tripled and drove in a run.

Chris Lambert gave up five runs in the fifth and final inning of the Hens rain shortened 6-1 loss to Rochester.  He fell to 10-6 and he gave up six runs on six hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in five innings.

Mike Hollimon drove in the lone run with a solo shot in the second inning.  It was his fourteenth homerun of the season.

This game was over early as it was 9-0 after four innings and the final turned out to be 13-0.  To add to the pile, the Hens made five errors, two of which were by Mike Hessman.  Virgil Vasquez took the loss and he gave up nine runs (five earned) on nine hits and a walk with a strikeout in 3 2/3 innings.  The loss drops him to 6-10 and you wonder why Virgil has slid so far this season.

The offense was held to just four hits.  Erick Almonte doubled and Brent Clevlen singled and drew two walks.

Timo Perez was one of the hitting stars in the Hens 8-4 win over Pawtucket.  He went two for five with a double and three RBIs.  Brent Clevlen went three for four with a homerun, two RBIs and two runs while Freddy Guzman singled, drew three walks and scored three runs.

Yorman Bazardo picked up the win despite another mediocre outing. He gave up four runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.
