Rochester Red Wings (4-14, T5th, Northeast Div. AAA East)
The Red Wings’ homestand continues with an I-90 series against the Mets, the only team keeping them from the cellar. Ben Braymer’s win on Sunday was the first by a starter this season. Just three regulars (Alec Keller, Daniel Palka, Yasmany Tomás) are above the lg. avg. for OPS and the three combined are 98 years old.

Harrisburg Senators (6-12, 6th, Southwest Div. AA Northeast)
Harrisburg heads out on the road again for six against Bowie in a battle of worst against first. As noted in the comments, the Senators were no-hit for six innings on Sunday, which has been a dog-bites-man story for the team that has scored the fewest runs (46) in minor-league baseball and has a combined line of .161/.249/.252.

Wilmington Blue Rocks (9-9, T2nd, North Division, High-A East)
The Blue Rocks remain on the road, heading down to North Carolina for six against the Grasshoppers. Wilmington has scored 78 runs and allowed 80, hence their .500 record. The bullpen has been credited for seven of the team’s wins while the starters have been credited for seven of the team’s losses.

Fredericksburg Nationals (1-17, 4th, North Division, Low-A East)
Fredericksburg heads back out on the road to play Down East in Kinston, the first of only two road trips outside the Commonwealth of Virginia or the State of Maryland (the other is to Fayetteville in August). The F-Nats won on Friday for the first time this season, lost by fewer than four runs for the fourth time on Saturday, and scored a season-high eight runs on Sunday. Unfortunately, the Wood Ducks lead the Low-A East in pitching, so the circumstances for the F-Nats’ first road win will likely be the same as their first home win – getting a shutout or a near-shutout while scratching across one or two runs.
