Mike Hessman belted a two run homer in the Hens 7-5 loss to the Bulls and while that in and of itself isn’t very spectacular, the face that he now has 81 RBIs in 81 games is.  The homerun was his 25th of the season which is also an impressive figure.   And while his walk rate isn’t good, it’s not great.  If there’s one knock, it’s the 103 strikeouts that he has.  That’s an awful lot at any level.

Anastacio Martinez took the loss and he gave up three runs in one inning of work.  Jordan Tata didn’t have all that great of a start.  He gave up four runs on three hits and two walks with three strikeouts in six innings.
