Buffalo 8 Syracuse 5
• Voth 5IP, 6H, 5R, 5ER, 3BB, 4K
• Adams (L, 0-2) 1IP, 2H, 2R, 1ER, 0BB, 0K, HR, HBP
• Marmolejos 3-4
• Hernandez 2-5, 2R, HR, RBI
• Reynolds 1-3, R, BB, RBI

The Chiefs took another spin around the drain as they dropped their fourth straight, 8-5 to the Bisons. Austin Voth was stampeded for five runs on six hits and three walks over five innings but got the no-decision. It was the third consecutive start in which he gave up five or more runs. Austin Adams didn’t walk a batter but Shawn Kelley’d the game-winning run on a two-run homer in the 7th for his second loss. Jose “Orange” Marmolejos singled three times while Jason Martinson and Yadiel Hernandez both homered to lead the Syracuse offense. Roster move: LHP Tim Collins recalled to Washington.

Harrisburg – OFF DAY
After taking four of six on a wet road trip, Harrisburg returns home for seven – three against Erie, four against Altoona.

Potomac 3 Wilmington 1
• Sharp 6⅔ IP, 8H, R, ER, BB, 6K
• Howard (W, 1-1) 1⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K, 2-0 IR-S
• Mills (SV, 4) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Wiseman 3-4, 2R, 2HR, 3RBI
• Reetz 2-4, 2-2B

Rhett Wiseman (3-for-4, 3RBI) homered twice in the last two “ups” for the P-Nats to take the series opener from the Blue Rocks, 3-1. Sterling Sharp struck out six while pitching a season-high six and 2/3rds innings. He allowed one run and was charged with eight hits, five of which weren’t near a defender. The win went to Hayden Howard, who stranded two while getting out of a jam in the 7th then threw a scoreless 8th. The save went to Jordan Mills, who struck out the side in the 9th. Jakson Reetz doubled twice while Carter Kieboom and Bryan Mejia both singled twice as Potomac, which leads the C.L. with a .288 team BA, racked up 11 hits total.

Lakewood 2 Hagerstown 0
• Tetreault (L, 0-5) 6IP, 5H, R, ER, BB, 5K, HR, HBP
• Brasher 2IP, 2H, R, ER, 2BB, 1K, 2HBP
• Freeman 1-4, 2B
• Corredor 2-3

Hagerstown was shut out for the second time in three games to drop the opener to Lakewood, 2-0. Jackson Tetrault turned in his best out of the season: six innings of one-run ball on five hits and a walk and was rewarded with his fifth loss in eight starts. Jared Brasher finished the game with one run let in over the final two innings. Cole Freeman hit safely for the 11th straight game with a double in the 9th while Aldrem Corredor went 2-for-3, but the rest of the lineup went hitless and did not draw a walk.

    Well, Voth is really struggling, which is disappointing. I am pulling for him.

    Kieboom has gotten the hang of A+. OPS > .800 and almost as many walks as Ks.

    Hernandez keeps hitting. I’m not sure why they won’t give him a chance in WAS with all the injuries and MATs underperformance.

    Sharp is having a nice stretch. Be good to see some pitching develop somewhere.

    Still no news on Romero, I assume?

    1. Will says:

      Puzzled we haven’t seen Romero back yet… Janes wrote an article a month ago, saying Romero was complying with the rules and would be back soon.

      I guess there were some relapses in bad behavior?

      Romero’s value was closely linked to being nearly major league ready, and now he’s going to take just as long as anyone else, losing at least half a season due to his attitude.

      Rizzo really whiffed on that pick.

    2. Pilchard says:
      May 22, 2018 at 11:36 am

      Hernandez does not and cannot play CF; so, MAT’s struggles have nothing to do with Hernandez getting promoted or not. With Soto up and continuing to rake (and with other corner OF options, guy named Harper, Matt Adams among others), there really is not a spot for Hernandez.

      1. Luke Erickson says:
        May 22, 2018 at 1:02 pm

        With Nats outfielders akin to Spinal Tap drummers, Hernandez may still get his chance…

        There is certainly an argument to be made that the Nats could have been more conservative and promoted Hernandez instead of Soto so the teen could have spent more than a week or so at AA. In a football town, the admonition that the season is longer than one game tends to ring hollow, though.

  2. Will says:
    May 22, 2018 at 10:25 am

    Are we not allowed to talk about Soto anymore since he’s been promoted? 😉

    1. Luke Erickson says:
      May 22, 2018 at 12:43 pm

      I suspect there will be chatter once he goes 0-for-4

  3. Forensicane says:
    May 22, 2018 at 2:04 pm

    The most important plus from Soto was his catalytic effect.

    Now let’s see how much he bounces back when he begins to slump. But hopefully he is back in the lineup tonight.

    Sure is exciting to envision an OF with Robles and Soto, no? I wonder how Bryce puts that together.

    1. Kirkie says:
      May 23, 2018 at 3:43 am

      Oh, there’s a large part of me that really wants to see an OF of Soto in left; Robles in centre, and Harper in right later on this summer……

  4. alexva says:
    May 22, 2018 at 4:46 pm

    Soto is clearly the best player in the system right now and Rizzo has a history of bringing them up when needed. Hernandez may be a better hitter right now than Stevenson but with an outfield that includes Mat Adams at times I guess you have to factor in defense.

    had Robles not gotten hurt (again) we could be witnessing something historic

    1. Karl Kolchak says:
      May 22, 2018 at 6:39 pm

      Until (Unless?) Goodwin returns, Stevenson is the only healthy OF who can credibly back up Taylor in CF. Even Harper looks so bad in RF these days that even a brief return to CF seems out of the question.
