Christopher Walker was the hitting star.  He went two for four with a double, two RBIs and a run.  Jorge Cortes singled and drove in two runs in the 4-2 win.

Sean Gallagher had a tough start and he took the loss in the Smokies 13-4 loss, but the pen was even worse.  Gallagher gave up three runs in two innings and then two relievers gave up five runs a piece in a pretty poor pitching performance all the way around.

Kevin Hart improved to 2-1 with his best outing of the year.  He gave up just four hits and two walks with four strikeouts in seven shutout innings.  He’s gotten progressively better in each of his last three starts and hopefully this is a breakthrough outing for the right hander.
