Barons Clonk Biscuits, 4-1
John Roche imposed his will on the Biscuits from the get-go. Relying mainly on his cutter, the right-hander spearheaded the 4-1 Birmingham triumph. The save went to Cortez Estrada, his 2nd this season. The Barons are now 44-38, while the Biscuits fall to 43-39.

Ernesto Esparza, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2110 draft, aided the Birmingham cause with a run-scoring walk in the top of the fourth. For the game, the first baseman was 1 for 3 with a walk.

"I liked his command," said Birmingham manager John Ware. "John was throwing strikes."
