He scattered 6 hits, walked 4, and struck out 4. His record improves to 13-17. New York has now lost 4 in a row.

One pivotal at-bat came in the bottom of the third with one out. With runners on 1st and 2nd and the Barons trailing 2-0, Wilton Strickland needed to make a quality pitch. He threw a first pitch fastball to retire Dave Claiborne, who hit into a double play.
