Bryan Sammons had a rare brutal outing on Thursday night, and the offense couldn’t overcome it.
Things looked good for a while. Sammons gave up a solo shot in the bottom of the first, but Andrew Navigato answered with one of his own in the third. In the fourth, with two outs, Dillon Dingler smoked a hot ground ball down the right field line for a double. Ryan Vilade doubled him home, and Bligh Madris pulled a screamer over the right field wall for a two-run shot. 4-1 Hens and pretty good work against a quality pitching prospect in Twins’ RHP David Festa.
