Tom Shearn was destroyed today.  He gave up eight runs in just 1 2/3 innings and the loss drops him to 2-4 on the season.  Hopefully the right hander can bounce back and get it together next time around.

Jeff Keppinger had a big day at the plate.  He went three for three with a homerun and two runs in the 10-5 loss.

Steven Kelly gave up a solo homerun in the bottom of the tenth inning as the Bats lost to the Bulls 5-4.  Tom Shearn had a mediocre start and he gave up three runs on three hits and five walks with five strikeouts in five innings.

Jeff Keppinger went one for five but he drove in two runs.  Joey Votto had another nice game and he went three for four with two RBIs. He’s not hitting .321 on the season and he sports an impressive .942 OPS.  This kid should be in the bigs but the Reds locked up Scott Hatteberg so there’s no room for him, at least at the moment.

Louisville picked up just two runs on six hits and their pitchers were hit hard in a 9-2 loss.  Tom Shearn took the loss and he dropped to 2-3 on the season.   He gave up four runs on twelve hits and one walk with three strikeouts in five innings.

Earl Snyder hit a solo homerun in the loss.  Jeff Keppinger went two for five with a double.

Aaron Herr singled home Jeff Kippinger in the bottom of the tenth inning to win it for the Bats.  The infielder finished the game two for five with a homerun and two RBIs.  Joey Votto had three hits including a solo homerun.

Jason Kershner picked up the win with two shutout innings of relief.  He improved to 4-3 on the season.  Bobby Livingston had a decent start and he gave up three runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks with six strikeouts.

Homer Bailey’s start wasn’t all that bad, but with just one run of support, it turned into his only loss so far this season. He gave up three runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk with two strikeouts in six innings. 

The lone run was driven in by Aaron Herr.  Jeff Keppinger went two for four with a double.
