Wahoos Drop Second Straight To The Birmingham Barons
May 9, 2018
The Birmingham Barons came out of the gate slugging on Tuesday night at Regions Field. They got back-to-back home runs from Eloy Jimenez and Seby Zavala and they never looked back on their way to a 5-2 win.
The Barons went up 3-0 before Pensacola first got on the board with a home run from Aristides Aquino. It was a solo shot to left field and his second hit of the game.
The Blue Wahoos cut the deficit to one after C.J. McElroy’s leadoff triple in the sixth inning. He scored a batter later on a Shed Long ground out. Birmingham was quick to answer with a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the inning. Zavala and Trey Michalczewski both scored on a bases-loaded single from Ryan Brett.
That was it for the scoring and Blue Wahoos starter Keury Mella (L, 3-1). He took the loss after allowing a season-high five runs over six innings. He struck out and walked two in his first loss of the season.
On the other side, Spencer Adams (W, 2-3) turned in his best start of the year. He surrendered just two runs over six innings on just four hits to earn the win. Ian Hamilton (S, 6) struck out three over the final five outs of the game to earn the save.
Pensacola looks to get back in the win column with Wednesday morning game.
