Louisville 8 Syracuse 2
• Roark (L, 3-8) 5IP, 7H, 4R, 4ER, 2BB, 5K
• Severino 1IP, 0H, 0R, BB, 2K
• Bynum 2-3, R, BB
• Komatsu 1-3, BB, CS

Louisville built a 4-0 lead off losing pitcher Tanner Roark and cruised to an 8-2 win over Syracuse. Roark gave up seven hits and walked two while striking out five, but suffered his team-leading 8th loss. Seth Bynum led the Chiefs attack with singling twice and walking in four plate appearances. Former Nats farmhand “Dolla” Bill Rhinehart homered in the 9th inning. OF Jason Michaels was activated from the Restricted List, putting the Syracuse roster back to the full 25

Binghamton 4 Harrisburg 1
• Rosenbaum (L, 7-2) 7IP, 8H, 4R, 3ER, 0BB, 7K
• VanAllen 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Zinicola 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Mayo 1-2, BB, E
• Lozada 0-2, 2BB

In duel between the teams’ aces, Zach Wheeler bested Danny Rosenbaum, allowing just two IF hits over seven innings as the B-Mets beat the Sens, 4-1. Rosenbaum also went seven frames, but gave up all four runs on eight hits while striking out seven. Jeremy Mayo came off the bench as Beau Seabury became the latest catcher to suffer an injury (elbow) and went 1-for-2 in his 2012 and AA debut. Roster moves: RHP Cameron Selik was placed on the DL. Mayo was assigned from XST. RHP Zech Zinicola was activated from the restricted list and assigned from Syracuse.

Frederick 6 Potomac 2
• Olbrychowski (L, 2-5) 5⅓ IP, 7H, 4R, 4ER, BB, 5K, 2HR
• Demmin 2⅔ IP, 6H, 2R, 1ER, 2BB, 4K, HR, 3-2 IR-S
• Walters 3-4, R, 2B
• Bloxom 1-3, 2B, BB

After tying the game at 2-2 in the 6th, the P-Nats allowed four unanswered runs while mustering just two baserunners over the last three innings as the Keys took the game, 6-2, and the series, 3-2. Pitchers Adam Olbrychowski and Ryan Demmin gave up three HRs (all solo) on the night, working around three errors and three walks. Zach Walters led the offense with a 3-for-4 game, but the team left on nine, including three in the 4th when the P-Nats loaded the bases with no outs and couldn’t score. Potomac heads home for its final homestand of the 1st half, a five-game, two doubleheader weekend series against the Salem Red Sox.

Hagerstown 6 Kannapolis 5
• Meyer (W, 5-3) 6IP, 4H, 3R, 2ER, 2BB, K
• Bates 2IP, H, R, ER, 0BB, 0K, HR
• Goodwin 2-4, RBI, SB
• Martinson 1-3, 2R, HR, 2RBI, 2E
• Leonida 1-3, R, HR, RBI

A trio of two-spots helped Hagerstown build a 6-1 lead while the bullpen gave up two home runs late in a 6-5 win over Kannapolis, completing the three-game sweep. Alex Meyer turned in his third quality start with three runs (two earned) given up over six innings to notch his fifth win. Jason Martinson and Cole Leonida both homered, while rehabbing Chris Marrero went 1-for-3 with a double, as the Suns scored six runs on just seven hits. The two teams meet again for another three-game set starting tonight in Kannapolis.

DSL Giants 10 DSL Nationals 4
• A. Martinez (L, 0-1) 4IP, H, 2R, 2ER, 4BB, 7K, 0HR
• A. Ramirez 1IP, 1H, 0R, BB, 0K
• Abreu 2-5, R
• Cerda 2-3, R, BB, HR, RBI
• Atencio 0-1, 3BB

When the most effective pitcher is a position player, you know it’s been a bad game. A five-run 6th broke open a 2-1 game as the DSL Giants beat the DSL Nationals, 10-4. Starter Anderson Martinez allowed just a hit over four innings, but walked four and struck out seven. NYC native Kevin Cerda went 2-for-3 with a walk and a home run to lead the offense.

    The hurt catcher you cited in your tweet was Maldonado, yes? Any thoughts on the new catcher from the Pirates? I have to guess that any player you get for “cash considerations” can’t have much of a future.

      No, Seabury. Watts is serviceable backup that fits the AA/AAA Rizzo mold.

    Former Nat “Wee” Willie Harris is hitting .232 for Louisville.

    Rhinehart has a middling .227 average, and an OPS of .673.

    I guess Rizzo has some “tolerance” since Zinicola is back. There is hope for Wilkie yet.

      This bears repeating (from Sunday’s N&N comments):

      Doug Harris was quoted in Kilgore’s story as the Nationals having a “no-tolerance” policy, a variation of a phrase (zero tolerance) that in my experience is usually bandied about by officials that prefer not to have to either (a) make a judgment or (b) have it questioned.

    Wheeler for the Binghamton team was easily the best pitcher the Senators have faced all year!
