JACKSON, Tenn.-- Sean Poppen put together another really solid, quality start, but he gets another no decision because he left the game with the Lookouts down 2-0.

Poppen gave up two runs on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out five. Tyler Jay came on to get the final two outs of the seventh inning and worked a perfect eighth inning as well. Devin Smeltzer gave up a hit, but he struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning for his fourth save.  

Down 2-0 going into the eighth inning, Jimmy Kerrigan’s sixth home run got the Lookouts on the scoreboard.

The Lookouts rallied in the top of the ninth, Luis Arraez came up with the bases loaded and delivered a two-run single to give the team a lead. Kerrigan came back up and provided a little insurance with a sacrifice fly.

Mitchell Kranson went 2-for-3 including his ninth double in the ninth inning. Arraez went 2-for-4.
