Ken Huckaby was the hitting star.  He went two for four with a double and three RBIs.  Sergio Garcia drove in the other three runs with a three run homer.

Hong-Chih Kuo lasted only two innings and there’s no indication as to why because he seemed to put up a decent line.  D.J. Houlton then threw five solid innings in which he gave up two runs on five hits and walk with five strikeouts, but it wasn’t enough for the win.
