Birmingham Barons News Release
CHATTANOOGA, TN - Birmingham Barons starter Tyler Danish shined in his fourth start of the season, but Birmingham's offense could not come to life as the Barons ended up on the wrong side of a 4-0 pitcher's duel.
Lookouts starter Jason Wheeler dealt his longest outing of the season, shutting the Barons out over seven innings while recording nine strikeouts, the most by one pitcher against Birmingham this year.
For the Barons, Danish followed up his first win of the season against the Jackson Generals Sunday evening with 6.1 innings pitched and three strikeouts against Chattanooga tonight.
RHP James Dykstra inherited Danish's second earned run, surrendering three straight hits in the seventh inning that extended the Barons deficit to 4-0 late in the game.
At the dish, Trey Michalczewski extended his hitting streak to a team-high eight games, and Jake Peter added his third double of the year.
Tonight marks the first shutout of the season for the Barons, who had not been on either side of the decision through 15 games.
Carson Fulmer makes his fourth start of the season, seeking his first win in a Barons uniform and pitching just two hours away from Vanderbilt, where he attended college.
