Charlotte 6, Norfolk 4
Marcus Semien snapped his streak of three consecutive games with a homer, but he did go 2-3 with a double, a walk, and a stolen base. Semien played shortstop last night and is hitting .447 over his past ten contests and I expect he will be in Chicago when the roster expand next week. Josh Phegley homered for the second consecutive night and Matt Davidson went 1-3 with a walk as the Knights outpaced the Tides.

Starter Chris Bassitt was handed his first loss of the season in by far his worst outing. Bassitt only lasted 3.2 innings, allowing six runs (three earned) on nine hits and three walks.
