Rochester’s bats remained near-silent, mustering just four hits in a 3-1 loss to Buffalo. Red Wings starter Rogelio Armenteros gave up the first run on three hits and two walks while striking out three. He was followed by Jefry Rodriguez, who tossed three scoreless and hitless innings while issuing only two walks. The loss went to T.J. McFarland with the final two Bisons runs on three hits in the 7th inning. Luis García was the sole Rochester batter to reach base twice, walking in the 3rd and singling in the 5th. Raudy Read collected the only Red Wings extra-base hit with a double in the 2nd. Roster moves: RHP Paolo Espino optioned from Washginton.
Richmond 2 Harrisburg 0
• Sharp (L, 0-2) 6IP, 1H, 2R, ER, 2BB, 4K, HR,
• Baldonado 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Cluff 0-2, BB, HBP
The Sens’ bats were silent as four Flying Squirrels combined on a no-hitter to shut out Harrisburg, 2-0. Sterling Sharp lived up to his surname with both Richmond runs (one unearned) allowed on one hit (HR) and two walks. He struck out four. Three relievers each turned in a goose egg to keep things close. Jackson Cluff broke up the perfect game with a walk to lead off the 7th and took second on a groundout. He would reach base again in the 9th on a Victor Robles but went no further.
Wilmington 5 Jersey Shore 0
• Henry (W, 1-1) 6IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 10K
• Peguero (H, 1) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Marinconz 2-5, R, SB, 3K
• Meregildo 1-3, BB, HBP
• Upshaw 1-3, 2RBI, SAC
Wilmington not only got back-to-back wins but back-to-back shutouts with a 5-0 triumph over the Jersey Shore. Cole Henry led the way with one hit and no walks allowed while striking out ten. Francys Peguero, who’s still not impressed, added two more zeroes to the board for the hold while Matt Cronin struck out the side in the 9th to push the team total to 14 K’s with nary a BB. Kyle Marinconz singed twice and scored once while Armond Upshaw drove in two to highlight the Blue Rocks’ four-run 8th.
Delmarva 7 Fredericksburg 3
• Parker (L, 0-1) 3⅔ IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 4BB, 8K
• Knowles 2⅓ IP, 2H, R, ER, BB, 4K, 2-2 IR-S
• Martina 2-4, RBI
• Boone 2-4, 2R
The F-Nats pitchers struck out 19 but when the Shorebirds did make contact they made ’em pay in a 7-3 loss, the ninth straight to open the season. Mitchell Parker fanned eight through the first three innings but saw a 2-1 lead vanish as Lucas Knowles let in both inherited runners to saddle the 2020 pick with his first loss. Junior Martina, Jake Boone, Jake Arruda, and Allan Berríos each singled twice while Landon Dietrich doubled to comprise the Fredericksburg hit column. Kannapolis (0-9, Low-A East Central Div.) and Binghamton (0-8, AA Northeast 2) also lost to keep pace with the race for the last team to put up a “W” in 2021.
