LOUISVILLE, Ky.- The Bats dropped the second game of a three-game series against the Pawtucket Red Sox 4-1 on Saturday night at Slugger Field.

Pawtucket scored the first run of the night in the top of the second on a sacrifice fly by right-fielder Rainel Rosario.

Louisville answered with a run in the bottom of the second after designated hitter Jermaine Curtis scored on an RBI ground out by third baseman Jordan Pacheco, which made the score, 1-1.

The score remained tied until Pawtucket hit a solo home run in top of the sixth. The PawSox increased their lead to 4-1 with a two-run homer in the top of the seventh.

On rehab with the Reds, right-hander Michael Lorenzen finished the game for the Bats, pitching the top of the ninth, giving up one hit and striking out one.
