Starter Matt Swarmer had a textbook “quality start,” but he got the loss anyway. Swarmer gave up three runs on five hits over six innings. One of the hits was a solo home run. Swarmer struck out an impressive nine batters and only walked one.
Left fielder Donnie Dewees was 2 for 3 with one run batted in.
Here are the highlights from Sunday’s 15-run first inning.
