The bats were silent in Game 1, going 0 for 7 with RISP and combining for just four hits. Manuel Silva took his first loss of the season after making his season debut last week with a 4 inning, 1 hit, no run effort. Things opened up in Game 2 with three homeruns in the game from Ben Pelletier (3), Malvin Matos (2) and Carlos De La Cruz (1). De La Cruz is a 6’8 19 year old giant who had six dingers in rookie ball last season. 20 year old New Zealander Kyle Glogoski got the win in his second appearance of the season.
