Game 2 - Great Lakes won 5-2

Preston Mattingly - 0 for 3, 2 K's
Josh Bell - 0 for 2, R, BB, K
David Sutherland - 3 for 3

Clayton Kershaw - 5 IP, Hit, 0 R, 3 BB, 7 K's, 2 Pickoffs

Kershaw was back to his dominant self in part two of today's doubleheader. He last 5 innings, allowed 4 baserunners and even picked two of them off first base. The walks are still a little high but hopefully his command will improve as the weather does. Good games offensively for Robinson, Sutherland and Francisco Lizarraga, who is hitting .500 on the season. Steven Johnson takes the hill for the Loons tomorrow at 4pm
