Defs break 4 game slide, win 8-4 at Dodd...

this morning/afternoon. Had to work tonight so I only saw the first four innings with the Defs up 3-2. Madison Bumgarner didn't really have it today falling behind on most batters and was pretty hittable. He gave up a two run homer that tied the game at four each. His line on the day was 6 IP, 7 hits, 2 BBs all four runs earned 5 Ks and a pick off.
Defs broke the game open with a four run seventh, as Brett Pill hit his team leading fourth homer to open the frame and make it 5-4. EME would plate two runs with a double and Brock Bond would double in EME to make it 8-4.
Waldis Joaquin (1-3) gets his first win of the season throwing two scoreless innings and Dan Otero throws a 1-2-3 ninth as the Defs take just one game out of four from the RockCats.
CT banged out 12 hits today with Bond (double, 2 RBIs), Pill, Brandon Crawford (double), EME (double, 2 RBIs) and Mike Mooney all getting two hits each.

Misc fan notes: CT hits the road and plays the B-Mets for a three game weekend set--let's hope whatever Decker said to them after the last night's game travels to NY with them.
