Your favorite Norfolk starter and mine who wasn't on anyone's radar before this season, Michael Bowden, turned in another gem for the Tides. Who is that masked man and where did he come from? I don't know, but he pitched seven strong innings, giving up only one hit and no walks while striking out five against the Braves on Tuesdsay night. Lucky number sevens!
Eight of the nine Tides hitters registered hits in the game, including a three-hit effort by Dariel Alvarez, who hit his 13th home run of the season in the game.
