Oliver Perez made his season debut with five-plus innings of work in the first game of a would-be doubleheader as the Sens won, 3-1. The erstwhile LHP alowed one unearned run on one hit and two walks with three strikeouts. Cory VanAllen and Hassan Pena combined for the final two innings, earning the hold and save respectively. Archie Gilbert paced the offense with two of the seven hits. After a 3:31 delay, the second game of the doubleheader was postponed. No word yet as to when/where the game will be made up.

After a two-hour-plus rain delay, Potomac launched six HRs and pounded the Frederick Keys to the tune of 14-6. Three Nationals had their first HR of the season (Peacock, Lozada, Perez) in support of starter Danny Rosenbaum, who was not sharp with all six Frederick runs charged to him on seven hits and four walks. Adam Olbrychowski broke his string of poor outings with a rulebook save of three and a 1/3rd innings of scoreless relief.

• Oduber 1-2, RBI
For the second straight date, rain turned a doubleheader into a shortened game as the Kannapolis Intimidators ran the Suns into the wall, 6-1 in six innings. A.J. Cole took the loss with all five runs allowed (two earned) on six hits, but struck out five and walked none. Blake Kelso and Randolph Oduber were the only Suns to get a hit, as Hagerstown had more hits than runs and more errors than hits. Bryce Harper went 0-for-3 with a strikeout to end his on-base streak at 25 games.
