• Self 2IP, 0H, 0R, BB, 2K, WP
• Noll 2-4, RBI
• Stevenson 2-4, RBI

Three Grizzlies pitchers combined to shut out the Chihuahuas, 2-0 on three hits to stop a seven-game losing streak. Kyle McGowin struck out a season-best of nine while walking three and giving up two hits over six-plus innings. At the plate, he doubled twice and scored a run. Vidal Nuño3 stranded a runner while giving up the third hit in the 7th while Derek Self put up two goose eggs to secure the save, his first of the season. Jake Noll and Andrew Stevenson both went 2-for-4 with an RBI to lead Fresno’s 12-hit parade.

Harrisburg 7 Trenton 4
• Braymer (W, 2-1) 7IP, 2H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 5K, 2HR
• Barrett (SV, 6) 1IP, 0H, 0R, BB, 2K
• Wiseman 3-4, 2R, 2B, HR(10), RBI
• Garcia 2-4, R, 2B, 3B
• C. Taylor 1-3, R, 3B, BB, 2RBI

Harrisburg still has yet to lose back-to-back games as they took the series opener from Trenton, 7-4. Ben Braymer gave up just two hits, but those two hits were homers as he won his second game with seven otherwise strong innings with two walks and five whiffs. After Tylor Guilbeau made things uncomfortable with a two-run 8th (walk, HR), Aaron Barrett settled things down in the 9th for his sixth save. Rhett Wiseman and Drew Ward both homered while Chuck Taylor’s two-run triple highlighted the Sens’s three-run 5th where they opened a 3-2 to game to take a 6-2 lead.
Roster move: OF O’Koyea Dickson assigned from XST.

Potomac 4 Winston-Salem 1
• Johnston (W, 2-4) 6IP, 5H, 0R, 3BB, 3K
• Bartow (SV, 2) 2IP, 0H, 0R, 2BB, 2K
• Agustin 4-4, R, SB, OF assist at 3B
• Harrison 2-4

Kyle Johnston improved to 2-0 with an ERA of 0.77 against the Dash as the P-Nats took the series finale, 4-1 to earn a split of the four-game series. Johnston threw six scoreless innings with five hits and three walks allowed and three set down on strikes. Winston-Salem got one back against Jeremy McKinney in the 7th but Frankie Bartow closed it out with two scoreless for the save, his second. Veterans David Masters and Osvaldo Abreu both went yard while Telmito Agustin singled four times to lead the P-Nats attack.

Hagerstown 7 Asheville 3
• Adon (W, 2-1) 5⅔ IP, 3H, R, ER, BB, 8K
• Fletcher 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Marinconz 2-5, R, 2B, HR, 4RBI
• Perkins 1-3, 2R, 2B, BB, 2PB(6)
• Wilson 1-4, R, 2B, 2RBI, BB

Hagerstown had but six hits… but five of them were for extra bases as the Suns took advantage of six Asheville walks to mug the Tourists, 7-3. Joan Adon fanned a career-best eight in five and 2/3rds innings while letting in a run on three hits and one walk as he won for the second time. Chandler Day kept with the theme of making things interesting with two runs allowed in the 7th, but not enough to qualify Aaron Fletcher’s six-up, six-down effort for a save. Kyle Marinconz doubled and homered while Nic Perkins did another Raudy Read imitation with two passed balls on defense and two runs scored on offense. Gilbert Lara singled once to extend his hit streak to 17 games.
