(Eastlake, OH) - Ryan Miller picked up his league-leading seventh win and Adam White hit his third home run as the Lake County Captains defeated the Lexington Legends 6-1 on Sunday at Classic Park. The Captains record improved to 27-15 while the Legends dropped to a league last 13-29.

The Legends broke out on top in the second inning off of Captains starter Jake Westbrook when with one out Eric Taylor doubled and scored on a base hit by Steve Brown to make it 1-0. The Captains took the lead in the third inning off Legends starter Leandro Cespedes when Adam White hit his third home run of the year, a two run blast to make it 2-1. The Captains added a run in the seventh inning when Doug Pickens drove in a run on a ground out to the pitcher and the lead was 3-1. The Captains tacked on three unearned runs in the eighth inning to finish off the scoring at 6-1.

Westbrook who was making a rehab start, did not factor in the decision going 3.2 innings and giving up a run before his stint was done due to a 45 minute rain delay. Miller went 5.1 scoreless innings allowing four hits, walking one and striking out a season-high eight batters. Cespedes took the loss to go 2-3.

The series wraps up on Monday at 7:05 PM as Indians reliever Joe Borowski will be on the mound in a rehab start against the Legends LHP Jeff Icenogle (0-2, 2.25). The game can be heard on AM 1330 WELW, WELW.COM or CAPTAINSBASEBALL.COM. Monday's game will feature Buck Night at Classic Park with $1 hot dogs, beer, and soda.
