MLN - THE RAW FEED - www.mlntherawfeed.com – HOOVER, Ala. - For the second straight night, the BayBear bats were kept quiet in a 3-0 loss to the Birmingham Barons at Regions Park. The loss sets the BayBears (14-15) back to two games out of first in the South Division.
 
Matt Torra (3-1) started for the BayBears and was solid through five innings as he fanned a season-high seven batters. The only mistake that Torra made was in the second when he left a breaking ball up in the zone to Jared Price, who smacked his second home run of the season to left-center field.
