Ty Taubenheim made his return to Syracuse today, at least for an inning and a third. That's all he lasted, as Syracuse was able to plaster him for 6 runs and 9 hits. I'm sure disturbing flashbacks from last season were in Ty's mind after this performance. Only two starters for Syracuse didn't have a hit off of Taubenheim (0-2). Luckily for the Chiefs, their pitching made the lead stand up, as they would be scoreless the rest of the game. Kane Davis (1-1) pitched a great game, keeping Indianapolis hitless for over four innings. He ended up going six innings, giving up 3 hits and one run (unearned). Adam Lind went 4 for 4, including a three run home run that brought Taubenheim's day to a quick ending.
My three stars of the game:
3. Joe Inglett - His two hits were important in the first two innings, they helped set the tone. He also scored two runs.
2. Kane Davis - Davis was masterful, especially during his first four innings. For a Chiefs team that is not going to put loads of runs on the board, performances like today's are a must.
1. Adam Lind - Lind had solid hits each at bat, along with four of the team's six RBI's. His home run knocked the wind out of the Indians. He also made a great fielding play in left field, taking away an extra base hit, keeping momentum on Syracuse's side.
Syracuse starts their first road series on Friday in Rochester.
