Garrett Stallings’s second Triple-A start went quite a bit better than his first. In six innings he gave up one run, which came on a solo home run in the top of the first. He struck out nine with no walks and four hits.
The Tides scored twice in the first when Josh Lester doubled in the rehabbing Ryan Mountcastle, who had singled. Lester was then knocked in by Joey Ortiz (CC’s #7 prospect). Mountcastle had a four hits in the game; Ortiz had three. Heston Kjerstad (#10) and Connor Norby (#9) both had 0-fers though Kjerstad picked up a walk.
