Kerman had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 11-run drubbing they dealt Immanuel on Wednesday. The Lions blew past the Eagles 12-1. That 11 run margin sets a new team best for the Lions this season.
Kerman got a great performance from Max Ramirez as he tossed five innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. Ramirez has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
