Spenser Watkins gave up 12 runs in four innings of work, and the Hens really had no chance in this one. They lead 2-0 after the first inning, but a spectacular eight run third inning against Watkins, featuring two home runs, marked another tough night against International League hitters as the soon to be 27-year-old right-hander hasn’t been able to keep the ball in the park. The Hens pushed across four runs in the middle innings, and Frank Schwindel hit a solo home run in the ninth inning to make the score more respectable.
Candelario: 2-4, 2B, R, 2 SO
