Cedar Rapids, IA - Jake Odorizzi struck out 10 over eight innings and Adrian Rosario struck out two in the ninth as the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers shut out and no-hit the Cedar Rapids Kernels, 3-0 on Tuesday night at Perfect Game Field. The Kernels only managed to draw two walks, reached on an error and Jose Jimenez was hit by a pitch.

Kernels starter Stephen Locke (7-7) took the loss, giving up three runs on 10 hits, walking one and striking out seven over six innings. Young-Il Jung and David Carpenter combined to work the final three innings in relief of Locke.
