Aztecs Suffer 4-0 Home Defeat
Stuart Blankenship pitched a gem to lead Kalamazoo to victory over the Mexico City Aztecs, 4-0. Blankenship, the winner, moves to 2-0. He threw 5.1 innings of 2-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up 4 walks. Kevin Martinez, the 12th overall pick in the 2024 draft, earned the save for Kalamazoo.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Mike Gainer? The Kalamazoo catcher had a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Comets on top, 4-0. For the game, Gainer had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"Stuart pitched his heart out," said Kalamazoo manager Morgan Van Dyke.

Losses have been few and far between for the Aztecs, now 19-6.
