Starter Luis Pardo (1-9) lasted all of one inning leaving the game after two straight walks and a single to start the second. Pardo finished with five hits and six earned runs including a three run homer in the first frame. Carlos Ladeuth didn't fare much better as he came in for relief and gave up three straight homeruns followed by a double in the second inning.
