The Hens offense pounded Red Wings pitching and a decent Spenser Watkins outing held up on Tuesday. Watkins pitched into some trouble in his five innings of work, but limited the damage to just three runs against him. The Hens scored three in the fourth inning on RBI hits from Daz Cameron and Dawel Lugo to take a 4-3 lead, and they didn’t look back. Mikie Mahtook had a four hit game and continues to mash International League pitching, while Cameron and Lugo piled up the RBIs.
Cameron: 2-4, R, 3 RBI, 2B, BB, 2 SO
Watkins: (W, 2-0): 5.
