Mound Presence
After allowing the first-inning home run, Hentges later allowed two more runs in the third inning on Schwindel's RBI single and Pinero's RBI double off the left-field wall. Initially ruled a home run, the overturned call led to Erie manager Mike Rabelo's argument and then ejection by home plate umpire Jacob Metz. Hentges also allowed a sixth-inning run but had three other perfect innings, lasting six innings and allowing six earned runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts. Right-hander
