LOUISVILLE,Ky.- On Jackie Robinson Day, the Louisville Bats played on another beautiful night at Louisville Slugger Field. The Bats ( 2-4) lost their second game of the home season, falling to the Toledo Mud Hens (4-1), 9-3. The Mud Hens powered their way to a win with three multi run innings.
Bats' RHP Tim Adleman (0-0, 5.40) made his Triple-A debut. After he threw two scoreless innings, the Bats cranked it up in the home half of the second. Louisville scored three runs on the strength of four hits, highlighted by doubles from DH Jermaine Curtis and 2B Carlos Triunfel.
The Mud Hens countered in the third with runs scored by 2B Tommy Field and C Miguel Gonzalez. Two innings later, Gonzalez with a solo home run, his first of the year.
