Corbett Shuts Down Thunder in Wildcats Win
Joe Corbett’s strong arm led the Cincinnati Wildcats to a 2-0 victory over the Philadelphia Thunder at Wildcats Field. The right-hander tossed a complete-game shutout, allowing just two hits while striking out two and walking two batters.
With the win, Corbett improved to 1-1 on the season with a 4.32 ERA. His dominant performance was a key factor in Cincinnati’s victory over the Thunder.
Blake Out for 7 Weeks with Herniated Disc
Pittsburgh Predators center fielder Harry Blake will be sidelined for seven weeks due to a herniated disc in his back, suffered during the team’s 6-4 win over the Chicago Cardinals.
Blake has been a steady contributor for Pittsburgh, hitting .278 with six runs and six RBIs so far this season. His injury leaves a gap in the Predators' outfield as they move forward without him for the next several weeks.
