He tossed 131 pitches over 8.2 innings, allowing 5 runs on 12 hits. Alan Ziemer finished the game for Reading and earned his 17th save.

In the top of the second, Reading second baseman Scott Keys had a productive at-bat. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and two out, Keys stroked a 2-run single to right-center. It made the score 4-0, Reading. For the game, he was 3 for 5 with 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs.

Keys told the Reading Herald: "I don't know which I enjoy more -- being a ballplayer or the perks that come with being a ballplayer."
