Michigan junior pitcher Brandon Sinnery earned his second straight complete game victory, striking out seven Iowa batters in a 5-2 Big Ten baseball win in Iowa City on Sunday.

Sinnery, who recorded the Wolverines’ only shutout of the season last week against Illinois, allowed eight hits and two walks.

The Hawkeyes (15-22, 4-8) scored single runs in the first and fifth innings.
