Fightin Phils Deal RubberDucks 5-2 Loss
Starting pitcher Willie Howard was a major factor in the 5-2 Reading Fightin Phils triumph over the Akron RubberDucks. Howard, now 12-7, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 9, walking 1, and allowing 2 runs. Elijah Manning, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 10th save.

It could have been a different outcome for Reading, had it not been for Allen Curran, the 22-year old second baseman . Curran contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the second inning to put Reading up, 3-1.

"Willie -- his tempo and rhythm were good," said Fightin Phils manager Nestor Rojas. "He was the key to us winning."

With the victory, the Fightin Phils upped their record to 69-55.
