Gwinnett 5 Syracuse 1 &mdash: GAME ONE
• Rosenbaum (L, 5-4) 4IP, 6H, 2R, 1ER, BB, 3K, HBP
• Accardo 2IP, 5H, 3R, 3ER, 0BB, 2K, HR
• Rivero 1-2, BB
• Rahl 1-3, OF assist at HP

Gwinnett’s Cody Martin stifled Syracuse for seven innings as the Braves cruised past the Chiefs, 5-1 in the opener. Starter Danny Rosenbaum struggled early, loading the bases in the 1st and hitting a batter and letting in an unearned run on his own error in the 2nd. He finished with a walk and six hits allowed over four innings. The Braves broke it open with a three-spot against Jeremy Accardo, with all three runs coming via the home run. Carlos Rivero was the sole batter to reach base twice, going 1-for-2 with a walk.

Syracuse 1 Gwinnett 0 &mdash: GAME TWO
• Roark (W, 4-3) 5IP, 4H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Crotta (H, 6) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Rahl 3-3, R, 2B, SB, CS
• Brown 1-2, BB, RBI

Chris Rahl singled, stole second, took third on an error and scored on a Corey Brown RBI single in the 1st. Tanner Roark, Mike Crotta, and Erik Davis combined on a six-hit shutout to make it stand up for a 1-0 win in the night cap. Roark tossed five innings in the spot start, giving up four hits and no walks while striking out one. Crotta pitched a 1-2-3 6th and Davis danced around a pair of singles in the 7th to earn the save, his 8th. Rahl singled and doubled in subsequent ABs for a 3-for-3 game that led the Chiefs offense.

New Hampshire 7 Harrisburg 0
• Demny (L, 5-5) 6IP, 8H, 6R, 5ER, BB, 6K, WP
• Herron 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Goodwin 1-4, 2B

New Hampshire broke open a 2-0 lead with a four-run 6th en route to a 7-0 shutout of Harrisburg. Marcus Walden needed just 90 pitches to go the distance against the Senators, allowing just three hits and no walks. Paul Demny took the loss, coughing up six runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings. Brian Goodwin was the sole Harrisburg batter to reach second on his own accord, doubling in the 6th. If the Nationals will indeed sacrifice long-term development in favor of short-term need, Taylor Jordan’s next start coincides with the spot vacated by the “injured” Dan Haren on Saturday.

Potomac 7 Carolina 5
• Ray (W, 6-2) 5IP, 8H, 4R, 4ER, 5BB, 2K, HR
• Wort (SV, 4) 1IP, 1H, 0R, BB, 1K
• Keyes 3-4, R, HR, 4RBI
• Taylor 2-4, 2R, 2B, RBI

Robbie Ray owes Kevin Keyes a cold beverage for the vulture win Last Night In Woodbridge.

Hagerstown 6 Greenville 0
• Purke (W, 1-1) 5IP, 4H, 0R, 0ER, BB, 9K
• Pena 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Schill 2-3, R, 3B, BB
• Miller 1-5, R, HR, 2RBI, 3K

Matt Purke killed two stones with one bird, tossing five innings for the first time this season (second time overall) and getting his first professional win, as Suns scorched the Drive, 6-0. Purke also struck out a career-high nine batters, allowing four hits and no walks. Hagerstown took full advantage of four errors and five walks to score six times on six hits. Wes Schill led the way with a single, triple, and a walks while driving in two. Roster move: RHP Ronald Pena activated from the 7-Day DL.

Mahoning Valley 3 Auburn 1
• Johansen 2⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 3BB, 2K
• Selsor (L, 0-1) 2⅔ IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 3BB, 4K, 1-0 IR-S
• Fernandez 1-3, R, 2B
• W. Rodriguez 1-3, 2B

Mahoning Valley struck for three runs in the 5th, Auburn answered with one in the 6th, as the Scrappers junked the Doubledays, 3-1. Second-round pick Jake Johansen gave up no hits and no runs, but walked three and struck out two over two and 2/3rds in his pro debut. Casey Selsor took the loss with three runs on six hits over two and 2/3rds with three walks and two strikeouts. Auburn was held to just three hits and one walk, though two of those hits were doubles by Erick Fernandez and Wilman Rodriguez. Roster move: RHP Will Hudgins reassigned from Hagerstown.
