The RubberDucks were shut out in six of the nine innings but got plenty of runs in the other three as they handed the Sens their third straight loss, 10-6. Andrew Lee put 11 runners on base in four and 2/3rds innings, including five walks, as he gave up five runs on six hits. He was taken off the hook for the loss by a four-run rally in the bottom of the fifth. In his AA debut, Malvin Peña couldn’t hold the slim 6-5 lead as he gave up five runs of his own with the “help” of defensive lapse, two walks, a double, and a home run. Aldrem Corredor and Jake Alu both singled twice and drove in in a run while Gage Canning singled, doubled, and scored two runs to lead the Harrisburg offense. Roster moves: RHP Malvin Peña reassigned from Wilmington; C Wilmer Flores reassigned from Rochester.
