New Orleans 6 Fresno 4
• Ross 4IP, 5H, 3R, 3ER, 0BB, 3K, HR, WP
• Copeland 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Rodney (L, 0-1) 1IP, 1H, 2R, 1ER, 0BB, 1K, HBP, WP
• Hernandez 2-3, BB, 2RBI

Fresno rallied for four in the 5th only to see the ‘pen give it away in the last two innings for a 6-4 loss. Joe Ross was knocked for three runs on five hits, including a two-run HR, over four innings but walked none and struck out three. The Grizzlies capitalized on two walks and two Victor Robles to score four times on just two singles. They would finish with just five hits and five walks total while striking out 12 times. Derek Self blew his second save as he served up his 6th HR in 37IP in the 7th. Fernando Rodney then showed he’ll fit in with the current DC relievers with the final two Baby Cakes runs allowed in the (you know it) 8th on a hit batsman, a single, a wild pitch, an error, and a sac fly. Yadiel Hernandez and Alec Keller led the Grizzlies hit column with two singles apiece.

Harrisburg 7 Binghamton 3
• Braymer 4⅓ IP, 5H, 3R, 3ER, 4BB, 3K, 2HR
• Bonnell (W, 1-0) 1⅔ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 0K, 3-0 IR-S

• Sanchez 3-4, 3R, 2HR, 2RBI, SB
• Kieboom 3-4, RBI
• C. Taylor 2-4, R, 2K

With three HRs and strong bullpen work, the Senators took the rubber match from the Rumble Ponies, 7-3. Ben Braymer’s run of five or more IP ended as Binghamton knocked him from the box with one out in the 4th, all three Binghamton runs charged to him on five hits including two HR. He walked four and struck out three. Bryan Bonnell stranded all three runners he inherited (how novel) and pitched a scoreless 6th to pick up his first win. Adrian Sanchez homered twice while Austin Davidson went deep once as Harrisburg registered 11 hits, with Sanchez and Spencer Kieboom each collecting three.

Potomac 6 Lynchburg 0
• M. Peña 7IP, 2H, 0R, BB, 6K
• Fletcher 2IP, 0H, 0R, BB, 2K
• Agustin 2-3, 2B, SF, 2RBI
• Freeman 2-4, 2R, BB, RBI
• Banks 2-5, 2R

Potomac extended its win streak to four with a 6-0 shutout of Lynchburg in the series opener. Malvin Peña held the Hillcats to just two hits and a walk while fanning six over seven innings to pick up his fourth win. Aaron Fletcher closed out the game with two scoreless, issuing a walk and striking out two. The P-Nats put up three spots in each of the first two innings, at one point stringing together five consecutive hits as they pounded out 12 hits total, including four doubles, with Nick Banks, Cole Freeman, and Telmito Agustin each having multiple hits.

Delmarva 3 Hagerstown 2 (10 inn.)
• Adon 6IP, 6H, 2R, 2ER, BB, 8K, HR

• C. Wilson 2-4, 2B
• Perkins 2-4, 2B
• Connell 1-3, R, BB, CS, OF assist at HP

While the Suns matched their output from the previous three games, they lost their fourth straight, 3-2 in 10 innings to the Shorebirds. Joan Adon turned in his third quality start with two runs allowed on eight hits and one walk while striking out eight. He was rewarded with a no-decision. After two goose eggs from OT Turner, Jackson Stoeckinger erased a single with a double play in the 9th, but no such luck in the 10th as his second hit allowed plated the free runner for the loss, his second and the Hagerstown’s 17th by one run.
