Stop me if you’ve heard this before: The Chiefs starter does well, the offense doesn’t hit well in the clutch, and the bullpen loses it. Check, check, check for a 3-2 loss to the IronPigs on Friday night. Austin Voth spun a quality start of two runs on five hits and four walks with four whiffs over six. After a scoreless inning apiece from Dustin Antolin, Trevor Gott, and Joe Nathan, Mike Broadway lost the game in the top of the 10th with a run on two hits. Pedro Severino and Corban Joseph both go 2-for-5 to lead Syracuse’s ten-hit parade. Roster move: RHP Gabriel Arias reassigned from Harrisburg
