All of the offense was in the top echelon of the Tigers' organization yesterday, as West Michigan was shut out twice.

Toledo Mud Hens 8, Rochester Red Wings 1 (box)

Nick Castellanos hit his 10th home run of the season and had three hits. Kevin Russo, Jordan Lennerton, and Argenis Diaz also went yard for the Mud Hens, who had 10 hits as a team. Ramon Garcia allowed a run in 6 1/3 innings for the win. Brayan Villarreal pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings in relief, but walked three batters.

New Hampshire Fisher Cats 6, Erie SeaWolves 2 (box)

Victor Larez was roughed up for Erie, allowing five runs on eight hits in five innings. James McCann had two hits and Daniel Fields had a double, his 18th of the year. Hernan Perez was 1-for-4 and is now hitting .311 on the year.

The Flying Tigers are still in last place, one game behind the Tampa Yankees for Not Last.

Lansing Lugnuts 3, West Michigan Whitecaps 0 (box)

Endrys Briceno was good, allowing two runs in six innings of work. He wasn't good enough though, as the Whitecaps were held to five hits in the first of two seven-inning games on the afternoon.

Lansing Lugnuts 2, West Michigan Whitecaps 0 (box)

Logan Ehlers allowed a run in four innings in the second game of the doubleheader. Devon Travis had the Whitecaps' only hit, his third of the day. The Lugnuts didn't use a relief pitcher in either game.
