Mitch McLaughlin was a major factor in the 3-0 Kingsport win over Bristol. The Mets shortstop was 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and 2 walks. Cisco Villarreal, who is tied for 7th in the APP in wins with 4, was the winner. He's now 4-2. The loser was Reginald Clark. Kingsport, at 33-16, is 9 games up in the West.

Waldemar Burkot had a direct impact on the outcome. Burkot contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the fourth inning to put Kingsport up, 1-0.

In comments to the Kingsport Times, McLaughlin insisted that he's not as disinterested as it often appears. "Haters will hate," he added.
