The weather finally allowed Colton Cowser and Jordan Westburg to make a rehab appearance at Norfolk. Cowser made the most of his opportunity with three doubles in his first three at bats. Westburg reached base twice with an RBI single and a walk. Cowser played center field while Westburg served as the DH.
Unfortunately, the big leaguers accounted for a majority of the offense. Samuel Basallo and Jud Fabian both finished 0-for-3, while Coby Mayo recorded a single in three trips.
Thaddeus Ward allowed six runs over six innings. The Tides left the former waiver claim in to take his lumps with a doubleheader on the docket.
