Tigers Minor League Recap – 5/1

Toledo Mud Hens (Triple-A)

Final: Worchester 7 – Toledo 4

Top Performer(s):

Hao-Yu Lee, 3B – 2-for-4, R 2 1B, BB

Jahmai Jones, LF – 2-for-4, 2 R, 3 RBI, HR

Ryan Kreidler, CF – 2-for-3, 2B, 2 SB, CS

Lael Lockhart – 2.2 IP, 4 H, 5 ER, 4 BB, 2 K, HR, 53.9% strikes thrown, loss

Matt Manning – 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 2 K

Matt Seelinger – 1 batter faced, K

Game Notes:

Lockhart struggled mightily with command all night and couldn’t find the zone. Toledo gave up 3 runs in the 1st and was unsuccessful at making a complete comeback all night. Although a loss, Toledo out hit Worcester 9 to 7 and committed zero errors. Three Mud Hens also put a dent into a game. First of all, #4 TMLR prospect, Hao-Yu Lee had a successful game and Jahmai Jones continued his hot streak, hitting a 3 run tank in the 4th inning and Ryan Kreidler looking speedy on the base paths.
