RubberDucks Game Recap
RubberDucks 5 Senators 2
WP: Matt Whitehouse (5-3) LP: Kyle McGowin (0-4) Save: Jordan Milbrath (1)
 
Summary
Akron's Eric Haase slugged a pair of home runs and drove in three RBI to lead the RubberDucks to a 5-2 victory over the Harrisburg Senators Tuesday night at FNB Field in Harrisburg, Pa.

 
Turning Point
The RubberDucks (42-37) scored three runs in the fourth inning against Kyle McGowin (0-4). Yu Chang stroked a lead-off double and scored on a single by Tyler Krieger. Haase then followed with his second homer of the night, a two-run shot to left field, to extend Akron's lead to 5-0.
 
Winging It
Matt Whitehouse and newcomer Jordan Milbrath proved to be a lethal 1-2 punch for the RubberDucks. Whitehouse (5-3) started and worked into the seventh inning before tiring. He tossed shutout ball through the first six innings, but left a pair of men on base in the seventh. Milbrath, who was just added to the Ducks roster on Tuesday from Single-A Lynchburg, entered the game and committed a throwing error and a wild pitch that allowed two runs to score. He settled after that and worked three innings and fanned five hitters to close out a 5-2 win for his first Double-A save. Whitehouse collected his fourth straight win.
 
Duck Tales
Haase yanked a solo homer to left field in the 2nd. He now has 15 home runs and 33 RBI on the season. Bobby Bradley continued to build on his spectacular homestand by belting a pair of doubles, including a run-scoring double in the first inning. He leads the club with 57 RBI. Krieger finished 2-4, and also added a double in the eighth.
