Travel day. They tried to make them go to Reno, so they said “sure, sure, sure.”
Tennessee Smokies
The Tennessee Smokies were beaten by the Birmingham Barons (White Sox), 11-10 in 11 innings.
Starter Matt Swarmer only went three innings, but that was because of a long rain delay and not because of his performance or an injury. Swarmer pitched three scoreless innings, allowing just two hits. He struck out three and did not walk anyone.
Jordan Minch gave up four runs in the top of the 11th inning and almost got the win when the Smokies scored three runs in the bottom of the inning and had the bases loaded with two out.
