Tyler Collins was 2-for-4 for Toledo, which had just four hits and had their five-game winning streak halted.
DOUBLE-A
EASTERN LEAGUE – ERIE 5, READING 4: Third baseman Francisco Martinez reached on an error, stole two bases before scoring the go-ahead run on Craig Albernaz’s ground out in the seventh inning to help lift the SeaWolves (49-53). Dixon Machado was 3-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBIs, while Martinez scored two runs and drove one in and Jason Krizan had two doubles for Erie. Kenny Faulk pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win.
SINGLE-A
FLORIDA STATE LEAGUE – LAKELAND VS. JUPITER: Game was postponed by rain.
MIDWEST LEAGUE – WEST MICHIGAN 2, BURLINGTON 0: Kevin Ziomek struck out a career-high 11 and allowed just three hits while tossing seven scoreless innings to earn his eighth win and lead the Whitecaps (60-40, 19-11 second half). Adam Ravenelle, who was selected by the Detroit Tigers in the fourth round of this year’s MLB First-Year Player draft after helping Vanderbilt win the national title, tossed two scoreless innings and struck out three to pick up the save.
