Excerpt from game report

The Senators' defense had flashes of brilliance with three double plays but blinked at crucial times.
Machado casually dropped Maxim St. Pierre's infield fly in the second and turned it into a smart double play.
In the third, when Corey Richardson tried to stretch his single into a double, Senators' left fielder Brett Roneberg gunned him down at second.
But after starting pitcher Josh Karp hit Rayner Bautista with a pitch leading off the top of the fourth, the sparkling defense had its first significant lapse.
Karp pulled up on Cody Ross' slow grounder to the left side of the mound, deeming it beyond the reach of his 6-5 frame.
That left third baseman Scott Hodges to fumble awkwardly with the ball behind the mound before letting it roll off his glove in frustration.
Infield hit.
Runners on first and second and none out.
Jhonny Perez cleared the bases with his third home run of the season.
Erie took a 3-1 lead.
