Ty Taubenheim had a tough start against Indianpolis in the Chiefs 8-5 loss and he dropped to 2-3 on the season. He gave up five runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings of work.

John Hattig had a nice game and he drove in three runs.  Jeff Duncan reached base four times with a single, three walks and he scored a run.

Josh Banks lost his first start of the season and he dropped to 4-1 in the Chiefs 5-4 loss to the Bats.  He gave up five runs on seven hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in six innings of work.  The seven strikeouts is a season high and despite not striking out a ton of batters, his walk rate is pretty awesome.  With the two walks in today’s game, he now has walked just six batters in 47 1/3 innings.

Erik Kratz hit a solo homerun in the loss.  Jeff Duncan went one for three with a walk and two runs scored.

Erik Kratz hit a twelth inning homerun to push the Chiefs ahead of the Bats 7-6.  Kratz finished the game with three hits and Jeff Duncan also had a nice game with four hits, two runs and an RBI.

Blaine Neal picked up the win with two shutout innings to close out the game.  In all, five Chiefs pitchers combined for eleven strikeouts in the win.

The Chiefs lost to Charlotte earlier today and while they got some decent pitching, the Chiefs never could get the bats going.  The lone run came in the eighth inning when Mike Vento singled home Jeff Duncan.

Ismael Ramirez gave up three runs in four innings in the 3-1 loss.  Give some props to the pen though.  They held Charlotte to just one hit in four shutout innings.
