"Drue Hackenburg got the start for the Clingstones and while he did a decent job of limiting the opposition in terms of putting the ball in play, walks - as has been the case for the righty this season - were the main root of his trouble in this one. In five innings of work, Hackenburg scattered just five hits while allowing three runs in what would have normally been a fair start had that been his only blemishes."
"On the one hand, Jhancarlos Lara struck out eight and only issued a pair of walks in his start on Wednesday night. On the other hand, Lara gave up a pair of homers and five earned runs in the loss. To say it's been a rough season for Lara would be an understatement. In 62 innings on the mound this year, Lara is carrying an ERA of 7.04, and while his strikeout numbers are decent - 96 total - he's also handed out 57 walks"
