Coming off a rough road trip, it was not in the Mud Hens' favor to run into one of the stingiest pitchers in the International League, Buffalo's Jeremy Guthrie.

Guthrie did not relent. The Bisons won 5-0 at Fifth Third Field last night, leaving Toledo with its fourth straight loss.

Although the Hens loaded the bases in consecutive innings early, the Buffalo right-hander got strikeouts both times to finish the side. Guthrie, who was sent down last week after a stint with Cleveland, has given up just two earned runs in 28 innings pitched for the Bisons this season. He improved to 3-0 with an 0.64 ERA.

"He threw the ball well, sometimes you tip your hat to them," Hens infielder Kevin Hooper said

"He located the ball well and was on top of his game."

At 20-24, the Hens are five games back of Indianapolis in the International League West division. They finished 3-7 on their most recent road trip.

Guthrie, the Indians' first-round draft pick in 2002, threw in the 90s consistently in his five innings and had seven strikeouts.

"Sometimes you can hit those [fast] guys and sometimes you can't," Kelly said. "He had all of his pitches working so that's what made it tough."
