Brooklyn plays like they ate too many hot dogs ...
Second baseman Luke Ritter in the second inning launches his tenth home run this season, and Joe Genord, on a fielder's choice, drives home the Cyclones' second run in the fifth, and that's that. Brooklyn is limited to just four hits, no walks, and strike out seven times. Luis Gonzalez, still starting at short in place of Ronny Mauricio, and right fielder Blake Ashford account for the Cyclones only other hits.
Luke Ritter leads Brooklyn in home runs and is now tied with Brett Baty for the team lead with 32 runs batted in.
Starter Alec Kisena entered the game with a troublesome 1.410 WHiP and 4.3 W/9 average. In a losing effort, allows six earned runs on five hits (including a home run in the third) and three walks with eight strikeouts over 4.2 innings pitched for his fifth defeat against one win with an unsightly 5.86 ERA.
Conner O'Neil accounts for himself in relief of Kisena with two strikeouts in 1.2 scoreless innings, but Michel Otanez allows a run and walks three in two innings pitched.
The Cyclones lose five of seven to Aberdeen and fall to 18-34 (.346) for the season.
