Cedric Mullins was a late scratch from the Tides lineup, but don’t get excited. He was apparently under the weather. Norfolk faced an early hole thanks to starting pitcher Jimmy Yacabonis giving up three runs in 1.1 innings. He was pulled up short because he’s been tabbed as a possible pitcher for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Red Sox.
Although the Tides tried their best to come back with a five run rally in the eighth inning, their collection of pitchers just put them into too much of a hole here as they gave up the ten runs on 17 hits.
