Update: Reimold went 2-for-4 with an RBI, run scored and walk in Norfolk’s 8-4 loss. Robert Andino went 3-for-4 with a double, walk and RBI. Jeff Salazar had a home run, double and two RBIs. Dennis Sarfate struck out one in a scoreless ninth. Kam Mickolio allowed two runs and three hits, with a walk and two strikeouts, in one inning to leave his ERA at 7.07.
