NEW BRITAIN 9, READING 3

Miguel Sano returned to the lineup after a . . . hiatus, we'll call it.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK] He helped the Rock Cats end an ugly losing streak. He was 1-for-3 with 2 RBI, 2 K's, and 2 BB's. For my take on Sano's suspension, click here. Eddie Rosario hit his third AA homer and his 12th double, leading the offense.

Kyle Davies earned his first Rock Cats win, giving 7 innings of 1-run baseball. Dakota Watts and Jose Gonzalez finished the game.
