Stars, Rodriguez Pin Bad Loss on Explorers
The Cincinnati Stars routed the Chicago Explorers, 12-2, at Great American Ball Park. Julio Rodriguez, who is tied for 8th in the UL in runs scored with 60, was one of the hitting stars. He was 4 for 5 with a home run, a triple, and 2 singles, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once for Cincinnati. The Cincinnati winning streak has reached 3 games.

Pete Crow-Armstrong had a big 2-run home run for the Stars in the bottom of the second inning. With Cincinnati leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a curveball from 30-year old right-handed pitcher Cody Poteet and punished it. The result was his 8th home run of the season, which put the Stars on top, 3-0.

Said Chicago manager Rock Carpenter after the blowout loss: "Son of a gun."
