Syracuse — OFF DAY
After taking two of three from Pawtucket, the Chiefs return to upstate New York to face Buffalo for three games before taking on Rochester for five games (three home, two away) next week.

Harrisburg 5 Akron 3
• Giolito (W, 2-1) 5IP, 5H, 2R, 1ER, 3BB, 5K, WP
• Mendez (H, 4) 1⅔ IP, 1H, 0R, BB, 2K
• Ballou 1-1, R, HR, RBI, 2BB, CS
• Pleffner 2-4, 2B, SF, 2RBI

Lucas Giolito wasn’t as sharp as he was last Friday night, but hung in for five innings to get the win as Harrisburg downed Akron, 5-3. The reigning E.L. Pitcher of the Week walked three and struck out five while allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits. He threw 87 pitches, 53 for strikes but struggled with his command. The offense pounded out 12 hits, including leadoff HRs by Drew Vettleson and Issac Ballou, doubles by Pedro Severino and Shawn Pleffner and a triple from Adrian Sanchez.

Potomac vs. Wilmington — CNCLD
Rain washed away the finale between the Blue Rocks and P-Nats on Thursday night. As the final meeting between the two teams in 2015, it will not be made up.
Roster move: RHP Reynaldo Lopez placed on 7-Day DL, retroactive to August 19.

Hagerstown vs. Lexington — PPD
Likewise, the folks in Hagerstown pulled the plug early in the afternoon. This one, however, will be made up tonight with twinbill starting at 4:35 p.m.

West Virginia 6 Auburn 4
• Guilbeau 5IP, 7H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 0K
• Rivera (L, 0-2) 2IP, 5H, 3R, 3ER, 0BB, 2K
• Kerian 2-4, 2R, 2B, 3B
• Jefferies 1-3, R, BB

The Black Bears struck again for three in the 7th and completed the sweep of the two-game series with a 6-4 triumph over the Doubledays. Taylor Guilbeau got the start and went the first five, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks without a strikeout. Mariano Rivera III was taken for three runs on five hits over two innings to suffer the loss, his second. David Kerian doubled and tripled while Rhett Wiseman homered as Auburn scored four times on just six hits.
