The Mud Hens bounced back with a strong offensive display on Saturday and Sunday to split this six-game set in Rochester, NY.
Friday night saw Brant Hurter post his first really strong start at the Triple-A level. The lefty allowed just two hits and an unearned run, striking out nine with no walks.
The offense just couldn’t get much going with only two hits on the night. Dillon Dingler launched his second home run of the year to lead off the third inning. That was about all there is to report.
Errors on Hiura and Buddy Kennedy helped the Red Wings tie the game at 1-1 in the fifth.
