LOUISVILLE, Ky. The Charlotte Knights broke the game open with a four-run third inning to beat the Louisville Bats 7-4 in an International League game Saturday.
Both teams scored a run in the second inning, Charlotte's coming on an RBI single by leadoff batter Alejandro De Aza. Louisville scored on Corky Miller's home run, the 700th of his minor-league career.
In the top of the fourth, the Knights jumped to a 5-1 lead off Bats starting pitcher Scott Carroll (6-6). The Knights had five hits in the inning.
Dallas McPherson doubled and scored and Dayan Viciedo, Lastings Milledge and Jordan Danks added RBI singles for the Knights.
Carroll pitched 3 1/3 innings and gave up seven runs, five earned, on 11 hits in a losing effort. Four relievers combined to shut out the Knights the rest of the way.
Louisville second baseman Kristopher Negron made two throwing errors, one coming during the third and one the fourth. Both led to runs. In the fourth inning, the Knights scored two runs and pushed the lead to 7-1.
Knights starter Doug Davis (1-0) pitched six innings and gave up four runs, one earned. He struck out three.
The teams will play again at 6:05 p.m. today when Charlotte right-hander Dylan Axelrod (2-0, 2.43 ERA) will face left-hander Travis Wood (1-1, 3.86).
