The Storm Chasers were supposed to be relatively easy prey, but they didn’t get the memo as they shut down the Hens lineup and cruised to their second straight victory in the series.
Hens pitching struck out 14 hitters in this game, but Troy Melton’s second outing did not go very well otherwise. The Detroit Tigers sent Alex Cobb out for his first rehab start with the Hens. He allowed a run in two innings of work, walking three hitters. Matt Manning spun a perfect third, and then they turned the game over to Melton for the bulk of the innings.
