Syracuse Chiefs — OFF DAY
Notes: Chase Lambin’s RBI double earned him MVP honors in the AAA All-Star Game held last night in Allentown, PA. He also scored the game-winning run in the 2-1 International League victory over the Pacific Coast League. The Chiefs’ second half begins with four-game homestand against Pawtucket, then Syracuse hits the road for eight games against the Norfolks Tides and Charlotte Knights.
Harrisburg Senators — OFF DAY
Notes: Tom Milone started and pitched two scoreless innings and Rafael Martin got the win for the Western Division with a scoreless 7th in the Eastern League All-Star game. Chris Marrero came off the bench with a single and a run scored, while Danny Espinosa started at SS and went 0-for-2 with a run scored. The Senators now play host to the Altoona Curve for four games, then the New Britain Rock Cats for three.
