Dominant Performance by Robinson in Charlotte Win
The Charlotte Knights got a magnificent performance from pitcher Ron Robinson, who stifled the Kansas City offense en route to a 3-1 Knights win at Comiskey Park. The Knights bumped their record to 73-69 with this latest triumph.

Kansas City could barely put a dent in Robinson. The right-hander tossed 101 pitches over 8 innings for the Knights, allowing only 5 hits.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Robinson.
