Syracuse 8 Columbus 4
• Rosenbaum (W, 5-2) 7IP, 4H, 3R, 3ER, 4BB, 4K, HR, WP, HBP, BK
• Accardo 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Rivero 2-3, R, RBI
• Brown 2-5, R, 2B, HR, 3RBI
Corey Brown’s three-run shot in the 5th inning broke a 3-3 tie as the Chiefs went on to double up the Clippers, 8-4. Danny Rosenbaum got his team-leading fifth win with seven uneven innings, giving up three runs on four hits and four walks with four strikeouts. He also gave up a home run and hit a batter. Chris Marrero homered while Zach Walters connected for a doubled and drove in two runs as Syracuse scored its eight runs on just eight hits and five walks.
Harrisburg 9 Reading 2
• Gilliam (W, 1-0) 5IP, 3H, R, ER, 0BB, 7K, HR
• Rauh (SV, 1) 4IP, 1H, R, ER, BB, 2K
• Johnson 3-4, 3R, 2HR, BB, 5RBI
• Hood 2-4, R, HR, 3RBI
• Souza 2-4, 2R, BB
The three newest Senators on the Harrisburg roster all played key roles in a 9-2 win over Reading. Starter Rob Gilliam struck out seven and gave a run (on a home run) on three hits and no walks over five innings. Brian Rauh, called up from Hagerstown hours earlier, tossed four innings of one-run ball for the save. Steven Souza Jr. came off the DL and picked up where he left off with two singles and a walk. Josh Johnson and Destin Hood went deep as the Senators returned to .500 (24-24) with the win.
Lynchburg 7 Potomac 3
• Hill (L, 4-2) 4⅔ IP, 10H, 7R, 7ER, 0BB, 2K
• Holt 3⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 0K, 2-1 IR-S
• Taylor 2-3, R, 2BB, RBI, SB
• Nieto 2-3, BB
• 2-for-14 RISP, 10 LOB
The curse of the GBI lives… Taylor Hill (Potomac’s “Good” for this week) was knocked around for seven runs on 10 hits over four and 2/3rds as the Hillcats downed the P-Nats 7-3. After letting in one of two runners with a single to the first batter he faced, Greg Holt retired 10 in a row to finish the game. The lockdown performance went for naught as Potomac could only muster three runs, as they struggled to get the clutch hit and stranded 10 baserunners.
Hagerstown 6 Lexington 0
• Encarnacion (W, 4-3) 5IP, 2H, 0R, 5BB, 5K
• Smith (H, 1) 3IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 4K
• Perez 2-3, BB, RBI
• Piwinica-Worms 2-4, 2RBI
• B. Miller 2-5, R, RBI
For the second straight game, three Hagerstown pitchers combined to shut out Lexington, this time by a 6-0 count. Pedro Encarnacion allowed just two hits though he walked five over five innings as he earned his fourth win. Jason Smith pitched three scoreless innings in his 2013 debut, giving up a hit and striking out four. Offensively, Stephen Perez, Will Piwinica-Worms, and Brandon Miller combined for six hits and four runs batted in.
Okay, Kobernus is getting his shot (which is a bit of a surprise, actually). So when does the team finally make the Moore for Marrero swap? It’s not at least two or three weeks overdue.
Moore for Marrero isn’t happening, for the very simple reason that Marrero can’t play OF. The only at bats he would get would be to spell LaRoche. And they aren’t going to do that since LaRoche has been one few Nats hitting this month. You are more likely to see Micah Owings called up for the Tyler Moore role, and that would require another 40 man roster move.
Davey patient with Moore….
I would have liked to see Walters up for Danny DL…but my name is not Doug Harris! LOL!
Look how long it took to sit Espinoza
And then they needed an injury to justify it! Cavey stays too long with unproductive players instead of letting the results dictate. This seems to be an organizational thing as evidenced by the lineups in AAA. Rahl has a 15 game hit streak and a HR in his last game and is benched in favor of Costanzo at DH. Rahl hitting .320 at lead off in May!
Rosenbaum should get a cup of coffee on the next need for a DH starter or rain out option!
Funny how the Rule 5 returnees benefitted from time in Big League camps- different teachers…
Roark should get some bullpen time in bigs.
Shark should be hearing every big hit C. Brown hits @ SYR!!! LOL!
