Glen (9-1) improved his record in his three seasons with the RailCats to 29-9, allowing five hits and two runs with two walks. The 11 strikeouts marked the third time Glen has reached that total this season, the season high for the RailCats in 2007.
The game was tied at 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning when Detienne lined a single to center with the bases load and one out, driving in both Blakeley and Dale Mueller to make it 4-2.
The RailCats added four more runs in the seventh inning. Blakeley singled to right with the bases loaded to drive in Jose Yepez and Jermaine Allensworth and a throwing error by right fielder Jorge Tang allowed Jay Pecci to score on the same play. Blakeley scored later in the inning on Eric McNamee's ground out.
Calgary starter Jeff Groeger (3-3) took the loss. He left the game with the score tied and two runners on base in the sixth but was charged with both runs. He allowed six hits and four runs over five and one-third innings with three walks and six strikeouts.
Former RailCat Jason Colson hit a game tying home run for Calgary in the top of the sixth to even the score at 2-2 before the RailCats erupted for six runs over the next two innings.
The RailCats host Calgary on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. at the Steel Yard. Josh Habel (9-5, 3.22) will start for
Notes: The RailCats, who had gone nine straight games without scoring more than three runs in a game through Tuesday, have scored at least six runs in all three games on their current winning streak…Calgary catcher Mitch Evans was ejected by plate umpire Mike Trotter in the seventh inning in an unusual situation. With Evans in his crouch behind the plate and Jose Yepez batting, Trotter called time, circled around in front of Evans, and an argument ensued, prompting Calgary manager Mike Busch to sprint from the dugout to the plate area in an explosive scene. Evans fired his helmet, mask, and glove to the ground during the argument.
