Adam Conley seemingly couldn't get batters out, allowing nine base-runners in three innings pitched. Consequently, the left-hander's ERA rose to 5.14 for the season.

L 6-9 vs. Rome Braves (Makeup of postponed game)
Jesus Solorzano, RF: 1-for-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 BB, 2 SO
Austin Brice, SP: 3.0 IP, 10 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 3 BB, 3 SO, 1 HR
The Grasshoppers offense bounced back after being shutout in game one of the doubleheader, but it was not enough to overcome Austin Brice's poor start. Brice allowed ten hits Monday, after having not allowed more than three in any of his previous starts. His three strikeouts represented a season low for the right-hander. The seven earned runs raised his ERA on the season to 6.53.
