Another three hit game for Jose Tena including a home-run and a walk and a massive home run for George Valera accompanied a two-hit and one-walk return for Angel Martinez, playing second base in his first game back from an IL stint. Will Dion went 3 and 2/3rds scoreless, striking out five, then Tanner Burns went 2 and 1/3rd striking out four. Daniel Schneemann struckout twice and walked twice, going 0 for 3.
The Rubber Ducks have had great pitching and lackluster offense so it was fun to see every hitter in Akron’s lineup involved in a win.
