Eastlake, OH - The Peoria Chiefs got five shutout innings from starter Parker Kelly but one bad inning led to a 7-0 loss Sunday against the Lake County Captains, ending the Chiefs win streak. With a career-high five shutout innings and a career-high five strikeouts, Kelly was named the Pekin Insurance Beyond the Expected Player of the Game as he got a no-decision.

The Chiefs had a couple early chances to take the lead. Brendan Donovan doubled with two outs in the third inning against Captains starter Zach Dunbar. Edwin Figuera hit a grounder through the legs of LC shortstop Jose Fermin but Donovan was thrown out at the plate by left-fielder Cody Farhat to end the inning.

The Chiefs also got a leadoff double from Brandon Riley in the fifth inning but couldn't get him home. The Captains scored five runs in the sixth as reliever Rodard Avelino (0-2) walked four and allowed a double in 1/3 of an inning.
