Pitcher Daniel Straily

(6 IP / 2 ER / 8 K)

 

Worth Noting: Starter Daniel Straily had another solid outing for Sacramento, allowing 2 runs while striking out 8 in 6 innings of work, but the bullpen couldn’t keep the Cats in the game. Right-hander Nate Long, who was just called up from Stockton, gave up 5 runs in 1 inning of relief, while Fautino De Los Santos surrendered 4 runs in just 2/3 of an inning to raise his ERA to 8.64. Second baseman Luke Hughes clubbed a 2-run homer and also took to the mound to record the final out for the River Cats.

And after his big 3-homer game on Monday, outfielder Josh Whitaker went 0 for 4 on Tuesday night.
