Nivaldo Rodriguez was rocked for six runs as the Mud Hens went down to defeat on Thursday.
Rodriguez allowed 11 hits in just 3 2⁄3 innings of work. The RailRiders scored two in the second, and then came back for four in the fourth inning to knock him from the game. The Hens got on the board in the bottom of the fourth when shortstop Ryan Kreidler hit his sixth home run. Singles from Daz Cameron and Brendon Davis followed, but the Mud Hens couldn’t capitalize. In the seventh, Jamie Westbrook doubled with one out and scored on a John Valente single.
