Tigers Minor League Baseball Blog

Things didn’t go well for Lakeland in their first of two doubleheaders against Clearwater.  In the first game, the Flying Tigers were shutout on six hits.  Maxwell Leon went two for three and Eleazar Aponte took the loss despite a decent start.  He gave up two runs on nine hits with two strikeouts in six innings of work.

Lakeland actually scored in the second game but the two runs weren’t enough in the 6-2 loss.  Ovandy Suero went three for four with two runs and he also stole three bases to bring his season total up to 71.  Josh Rainwater took the loss and he fell to 1-1.  He gave up three runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings.
