The Tides lost their sixth straight last night. They managed just four hits and committed three errors in the field. Starting pitcher Bruce Zimmermann came out of the game after three innings pitched and two runs allowed. And things continued to go bad for the rehabbing Mychal Givens. He faced five batters and only retired one. He issued two walks and gave up a three-run homer.
Joey Ortiz singled twice. Kyle Stowers and Josh Lester had the other two hits, also both singles. Heston Kjerstad went 0-for-4, as did the rehabbing Aaron Hicks.
