Winnipeg Goldeyes

FRANKLIN, WISC. – The Winnipeg Goldeyes swept their first series of the season Sunday afternoon, defeating the Milwaukee Milkmen 3-0 at Franklin Field.

It was the second shutout in three games for the Goldeyes – in fact, the pitching staff allowed just one run over series.

All the scoring was done in three consecutive innings. Jacob Robson (Windsor, Ont.) got things started in the top of the third with a bloop single to right-centre field that drove in Keshawn Lynch to make the score 1-0 Goldeyes.

In the fourth inning, Kevin García singled up the middle to bring home Matthew Warkentin (Windsor, Ont.), increasing the Winnipeg lead to 2-0. García was 3-for-4 on the afternoon and saw his batting average improve to .241 with six hits in his last four games.

Robson led off the fifth with a home run onto the grass berm in left-centre field – his 10th of the season and third round-tripper of the week. – giving the Goldeyes a 3-0 advantage.

Luke Boyd scattered six hits over eight innings, striking out a pair and walking two. He wriggled out of trouble on several occasions, most notably the first inning when he escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam. Ryder Yakel pitched around a one-out single in the ninth to nail down the save.

Matt Walker started for Milwaukee and gave up three runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings. He fanned four and walked four.

The Goldeyes now head to Sioux Falls, South Dakota for a four-game series against the Canaries that begins Monday morning at 11:05 C.T. Right-hander Jesse Galindo will start for Winnipeg, while lefty Cade Torgerson is expected to get the ball for Sioux Falls.
