The only thing that could halt the red-hot Tides tonight was the rain, which washed out the final two innings of this contest. Every batter in the Norfolk lineup had at least one hit except Jordan Westburg, and he drew two walks. It was a well-balanced attack, with six different hitters collecting an RBI and seven scoring a run. Kelvin Gutierrez had a two-run triple and Brett Cumberland a two-run double. Gunnar Henderson, playing shortstop, went 1-for-5.
Things went just as well on the mound, where veteran Matt Harvey went the (seven-inning) distance, racking up seven strikeouts and surrendering just two runs, both on solo homers.
