Kyle Zimmer and Buck “Spoonerism” Farmer each struck out 3 batters in their inning of relief. Tyler “Ty Steve” Stephenson made a rehab appearance and went 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI. Stuart “Little” Fairchild went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 RBI and Alejo Lopez went 2 for 4 and also homered.

Andrew Abbott started for Chattanooga last night and had another rough outing. He allowed 5 runs in the 2nd inning and finished with a line of: 4 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 4 K. He’s definitely had his struggles since getting called up. Michael “Feel The” Byrne struck out 2 in 2 perfect innings of relief. Mike Siani went 2 for 5 with a double and an RBI and Alex McGarry went 1 for 4 with a 2-run tank.
