| 2-1 Loss Extends Bay City Skid | Yu Darvish could take little solace in pitching a good game. The fact is his Bay City Bluebirds lost, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Capital Congressmen at Thunder Bears Grounds. The winning pitcher was Mickey Haefner. He tossed 121 pitches over 8 innings, allowing 1 run on 9 hits. Picking up the save was Charlie Root, his 16th.
Capital used the bat of Ben Zobrist to capture the win. The second baseman jacked a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Congressmen ahead, 2-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a dandy.
"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Capital manager Hunter Pence.
Bay City now has a 6-game losing streak.
