The Somerset Patriots were defeated by the Akron RubberDucks in the game three of a six-game series at Canal Park in Akron, Ohio on Thursday by a score of 3-0.
Somerset was shut in back-to-back-to-back games for the first time in franchise history. The Patriots have not scored in their last 28 innings, a stretch that began in the ninth inning on Sunday in a win at Richmond.
RHP Brendan Beck (4.1 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 7 K) was tabbed with the loss in his fifth start of the season.
Beck punched out a career-high seven batters.
RHP Kelly Austin (1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K) did not allow a run in his eighth appearance out of the bullpen.
Austin extends his scoreless innings streak to 9.2 IP and has not allowed a run this season. With a minimum of three games played, Austin is the only Patriots pitcher to not allow a run this year.
SS Max Burt (1-for-4, 2B, 2 K) extended his hit streak to seven games with a single in the fifth inning.
His seven-game hit streak is tied for the third-longest active streak in the Eastern League. During this hit streak, Burt is 10-for-24 (.417/.464/.500) with 4 R, 4 RBI, and 3 BB. Burt has hits in nine of his last 10 games of which he is 13-for-34 (.382/.436/.500) with 6 R, 5 RBI, and 4 BB. Eight of those games are with Double-A Somerset, while two of them are with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
