Washington catcher William Contreras had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Contreras was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once, even as Chicago beat the Hitmen, 8-6. Washington has now lost 4 consecutive games.

Jung-hoo Lee, who finished 4th in the UL in batting average with .302 last year, helped out the Chicago cause in the bottom of the sixth inning with a 2-run double. For the game, the center fielder went 2 for 5 with a double. He drove in 2 runs.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Lee told a Chicago Daily reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
