Yard Goats’ starting pitcher Jesus Tinoco had a rough start to his outing, allowing three runs to score in the first inning. The Senators’ leadoff batter, Daniel Johnson, slashed the first pitch of the game down the left field line for a double. After Tinoco walked Yadiel Hernandez on four straight pitches, Dan Gamache delivered the big blow of the inning: a three run homer that was launched out of the stadium in right field.
Tinoco was able to settle down and retired the next 10 batters in a row, picking up four strikeouts in the process.
