Reading's Kilome Shuts Down Yard Goats
Franklyn Kilome held Hartford to one run and three hits over seven innings and Reading slugged three home runs to defeat the Yard Goats 7-1 Tuesday night in Reading, Pa.
It was the rubber game of the five-game series.
After allowing Hartford (41-41) its only run on a wild pitch in the third inning, Kilome settled down to retire 10 straight. On the Philadelphia Phillies ' 40-man roster, the righthander turned in his longest outing of the season while walking four and striking out six.
Jesus Tinoco, on the Colorado Rockies ' 40-man roster, lasted five innings, allowing six runs on seven hits. He walked one and struck out two.
Austin Bossart's two-run homer; Jan Hernandez's home run, double and two RBI; and Malquin Canelo's three hits paced Reading nine-hit attack. Reading is 37-46.
The Yard Goats open a five-game series at Dunkin' Donuts Park against the Portland Sea Dogs Wednesday at 4 p.m. Lefty Jack Wynkoop will pitch for Hartford against righthander Teddy Stankiewicz for the Red Sox affiliate.
