Brad Lord allowed just two hits and struck out 10 batters in seven scoreless innings. It was the Senators' eighth shutout win of the season.
HOUSE CALL : Wednesday night Brady House hit his team-leading 10th home run of the season, which is tied for fifth-most in the Eastern League. It snapped his home run drought of 17 games as he last homered on May 21st against Akron.
CREWS IN THE CLUTCH : Dylan Crews increased his season RBI total to 36 with an RBI single Wednesday night. His 36 RBIs are tied for fifth-most in the Eastern League. With runners in scoring position, Crews is batting .373, the fourth-best in the league, to go along with 34 RBIs and 10 extra base hits.
TOUGH LUCKHAM : Today's starting pitcher Kyle Luckham has been a workhorse for the Senators with the second-most innings-pitched on the Sens' staff with 61.1 innings this season. He trails only Brad Lord, who surpassed him Wednesday night with 63.2 innings. Luckham's longest outing came two starts ago when he allowed just one run in seven innings against Binghamton. Luckham has thrown five or more innings in 10 of his 11 starts this season.
TO HOMER OR NOT TO HOMER? : This series between the Baysox and Senators represents a clash between a team that loves hitting home runs, and one that has been effective in preventing them. The Baysox have hit the fourth-most home runs in the Eastern League this season with 56. The Senators' pitching staff, on the other hand, has given up the second-fewest home runs in the league this season with 40. Each team has hit a home run through the first two games this series.
HOME SWEET HOME : The Senators have gone 19-12 this season at FNB Field. Their .613 winning percentage at home is the second-best mark in the Eastern League. After going 5-7 in their most recent road trip to fall to 14-14 on the road, the Senators welcome the opportunity to play their next 10 games at home to close out the first half of the season amidst the playoff race.
SERIES PLAY: This series marks the 11th series the Senators have played. In the 10 completed series, the Senators have won five, split two, and lost three.
