| Robbers Trip Empire, 2-1 | Both teams had their chances, but the Toronto Robbers eventually prevailed.
The Toronto Robbers used a great performance from former first overall pick Josh Chira to beat the New York Empire, 2-1, at Empire Ballpark. Chira, the winner, moves to 2-6. He threw 8 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 4 and giving up 5 walks. Jaime Martinez earned save number 5 this season.
Oscar Lopez, who is tied for 9th in the IL in bases on balls with 21, had a direct impact on the outcome. Lopez contributed a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put Toronto up, 2-0.
"Well, it's always frustrating to lose," said New York manager David Fields.
Even with the win, the Robbers have a dismal 11-28 record. | | | | |
