Rick Porcello threw the first five innings of a seven inning no hitters as Lakeland topped St. Lucie 4-1.  Porcello gave up just two walks and he was actually nailed for a run with a strikeout.  Porcello continues to shine at Lakeland and he’s now evened his record at 6-6.  His strikeout numbers aren’t nothing amazing, but he’s walked just 28 while keeping the ball on the ground.  The end result is a 2.91 ERA and that was after a rough outing in his last start.

Ryan Strieby accounted for the bulk of the Flying Tigers offense.  He homered for the nineteenth time this season and he drove in three of the Tigers four runs.
