Hill was charged with six runs on eight hits, including a two-run home run. Sam Runion took the loss, giving up four of the final five Rochester runs.

Harrisburg vs. Altoona — PPD.
Rain and cold postponed the series finale between the Curve and Sens. It will be made up when Harrisburg returns to Altoona in mid-May.

Make that ten career blown saves for David Ramos as the Suns southpaw gave up two in the 9th to turn a 4-3 edge into a 5-4 loss to the Shorebirds for his second blown-save-loss of the year. The 23-y.o. brother of Wilson was dinged for a two-run HR in his third inning of work, giving up five hits total while walking one and striking out two. Starter Luis Reyes allowed the first three Delmarva runs on seven hits and two walks over five-plus innings. Hagerstown tallied 12 hits, led by catcher Matt Reistetter at 4-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI
Trea Turner Update
Wednesday was an off day for the San Antonio Missions.
Drew Ward stays hot, lifts his OPS to .745. I’d say he has adjusted to High A just fine.
Havn’t had a chance to say this yet, but Luke I’m very happy you’ve found the time so far to continue these summaries. I find the vital and you’re the first post I read every morning…
+1
+2
Question is what will he do when short season affiliates start? Interested in helping out some, but we’ll see what the schedule looks like. Really hoping to catch the Chiefs for the first time in person on the road this year with Taylor.
good to see the ground ball machine Matt Grace get his chance.
lot’s of angst on the state of the Nats bullpen but I still see prospects Treinen and Grace as keepers. maybe Martin too
Seconded. Got to be a real thrill for these guys to see themselves in fangraphs or baseball reference as an actual big leaguer.
Suns gave up lead hoping the rain would save their butts
Nice opposite field clout for JM. No longer Diaz.
