On Saturday night, the Chattanooga Lookouts played host to the Montgomery Biscuits and lost 3-0 to end their four game winning streak.
Former Minnesota Twin Yohan Pino (11 starts in 2014) made his season debut. It was also his first appearance in the States since he pitched for the Royals in 2015, as the right hander pitched in Korea last season. The 33-year-old struck out the side in order in the first inning, and gave up one run on two hits over three innings pitched.
Matt Tracy took over from there, as in took over the whole rest of the game.
Tracy gave up a pair of runs over the final six innings, racking up five strikeouts. He gave up three hits and walked three.
The Biscuits got on the board first in the top of the second inning when Justin O'Conner singled on a line drive to center field, allowing Joe McCarthy to score the first run of the game, giving the Biscuits a 1-0 lead.
Runs were scarce in Friday night's contest. RHP,Jose Mujica drew the start for the Biscuits and worked his magic on the mound. The Lookouts could not manage to figure out Mujica's stuff, as he tossed 6 2/3 innings, scattering five hits. Mujica exited the game in the seventh inning without giving up a run or an earned run. He issued two walks and struck out three.
The only other scoring that took place in Friday night's game came in the top of the eighth inning when Montgomery's Grank Kay hit a two-run doubl on a line drive to center field making the score 3-0 in favor of Montgomery. Kay was thrown out at third base on the play as he tried to stretch the double into a triple.
Third baseman T.J. White (single and a walk) and second baseman Ryan Walker (two walks) were the only Chattanooga batters to reach safely twice. Edgar Corcino’s double was the Lookouts only extra-base hit.
Mujica (3-3, 3.20) was credited with his third win of the season while Pino (0-1, 3.00)suffered the loss.
