The West Michigan Whitecaps converted a terrific effort from starter Jesus Rayas into a win over the Cedar Rapids Kernels at Fifth Third Ballpark. The Whitecaps won the game by a final score of 2-1. In 7 innings, Rayas surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 1. He allowed 1 run. West Michigan now sits at 51-46, while Cedar Rapids falls to 46-51.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Whitecaps had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fourth, when third baseman Rick Roberts hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Jon Sotelo and made the score 2-1, Whitecaps. Roberts went 2-3 with 2 singles.

"I felt good. I felt like I was locating the ball well and I was able to keep them off-balance," said Rayas.
