The Bats lost on Friday night, falling 3-2 to Paul Janish's Norfolk Tides. Brandon Finnegan threw 5 scoreless innings with a strikeout and 2 walks as he continues to get stretched out. The Tides jumped all over Layne Somsen over the next 2 innings, giving up 3 runs (2 earned) on 4 hits and a walk, while striking out a pair. Adam Duvall went 2-4 with a solo dinger, his fourth since joining the Reds organization, but it was not enough to stem the Tides.
Louisville lost another 1-run game on Saturday, this time getting shut out 1-0 by the Tides.
