Tazawa done; Dogs down 6-4
It was not Junichi Tazawa at his best. Handed a 4-0 lead, the prime pitching prospect from Japan left after 5 2/3 innings, with Connecticut leading the Sea Dogs 6-4.
Tazawa's line: 6 hits, 6 earned runs, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts, 2 home runs.
Tazawa gave up a solo home run in the fourth (Andrew D'Alessio) and a 3-run bomb in the fifth (Bobby Felmy).
Both batters who walked ended up scoring.
Tazawa would have completed six innings, but second baseman Ryan Khoury bobbled a grounder that would have been the third out. Tazawa left after 84 pitches (52 strikes).
