Hartford Matadors starter Mario Ruiz pitched a strong game against the Portland Mad Ants at Mad Ants Ballpark, leading the Matadors to victory, 6-2. Hartford is now 69-74. Portland is 83-60.

George Kinder had a big 2-run home run for the Matadors in the top of the third inning. With Hartford leading 2-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a slider from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Javier Alba and punished it. The result was his 19th home run of the season, which put the Matadors on top, 4-0.

"Mario is good at sticking to his strengths," said Hartford manager Jesse Heugly.
