Jace Jung clubs three homers in weekend action

The Hens were down 2-1 coming into the weekend, and only managed to take down the Saints on Saturday, losing the series 4-2 overall.

On Friday, starter Sawyer Gipson-Long was staked to a one-run lead in the top of the third when Nick Solak walked and was singled to third by Justyn-Henry Malloy. A wild pitch from Dallas Keuchel scored him. However, Gipson-Long then allowed a two-run shot in the fourth. A Malloy homer, his 16th on the year, tied things up at 2-2 in the fifth. Unfortunately, Gipson-Long got in a little trouble in the sixth, and ultimately the Saints scored four and ran away with this one.
