RubberDucks Game Recap
RubberDucks 6 Senators 2
WP: Aaron Civale (3-0) LP: Jackson Tetrault (2-2) Save: David Speer (1)

Summary
The Akron RubberDucks took the early lead by scoring in each of the first three innings and held the lead for a 6-2 win behind a solid outing from Aaron Civale Wednesday afternoon at Canal Park.

Turning Point
The Akron RubberDucks jumped out to an early lead in the first inning when Ka'ai Tom lead off the Akron half inning with a double to left field. Tom scored the first run of the game and would be followed up by a Wilson Garcia double who scored the second run for the RubberDucks on a Li-Jen Chu line drive RBI single. That early lead allowed the RubberDucks to withstand late rallies from Harrisburg.
Mound Presence
Akron starter Aaron Civale was solid for the RubberDucks in his 6.2 innings of work, only surrendering two runs on a pair of solo home runs. Aaron Civale earned the win in his third start of the year for Akron, striking out a total of seven Harrisburg batters. The 2016 third-round selection of the Cleveland Indians only allowed five hits and two walks.
Duck Tales
Ka'ai Tom and Tyler Krieger had great days at the plate, combining for six of the 12 hits for Akron. The RubberDucks offense peppered the outfield with five of their hits going for extra bases. Aaron Civale's start marks the 15th straight game where the Akron starting pitcher has allowed two or fewer earned runs.
