The home run was his 10th of the season.
LHP Kyle Kubat started for the Knights and was solid over four innings of work. He allowed two runs on five hits over the four frames on Tuesday. RHP Lincoln Henzman (2-1, 4.85) came on in relief of Kubat and pitched two shutout innings to earn the win. Charlotte's bullpen combined to hold the 'Pigs scoreless over the final five innings. RHP Yacksel Ríos struck out two batters in the ninth to earn his third save of the season.
Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal started a rehab assignment on Tuesday and went 2-for-3 with two runs scored at the plate. Charlotte center fielder Mark Payton also chipped in with two hits on the night.
