The first five innings looked like it was going to be a pitcher’s duel with the P-Nats’ Shairon Martis and Salem’s Brad James quieting the bats, allowing only one run a piece. But the Potomac struggles in May reared their head in an ungly sixth inning where the Avalanche scored five runs on three hits, two walks, and a Potomac error leading to a 10-2 loss (box score/gamer) on Tuesday night. Martis finished his evening after six innings, allowing six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four. The P-Nats bullpen added to the struggles allowing seven hits, four walks, and four runs over the final three innings.
The P-Nats got an RBI from second baseman Seth Bynum and center fielder Edgardo Baez, while DH Marcos Yepez extended his hitting streak to 17 with a ground rule double.
