• Reetz 0-2, BB
Three RailRiders pitchers combined to no-hit the Red Wings in an 8-0 shutout. Tyler Eppler went the first five innings and gave up two runs on four hits and a walk. He struck out two while losing his seventh game. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre had their way with Bryan Bonnell (2R) and Ronald Peña (4R) to put the game out of reach. Adrian Sanchez broke up the perfect game with a walk in the first. Jakson Reetz drew a leadoff walk in the 6th. No Rochester baserunner reached second.
Portland 11 Harrisburg 6
• A. Lee (L, 2-5) 2+ IP, 7H, 7R, 7ER, 2BB, 0K, WP
• Teel 4IP, 4H, 2R, 1ER, 1BB, 1K, 2-1 IR-S
• W. Perez 3-3, R, 2B, 2RBI
• Freeman 3-5
• Wiseman 2-4, R
Portland sent 11 men to the plate in the 3rd and seven came around to score in an 11-6 win over Harrisburg. Andrew Lee threw to eight of those 11 without retiring any of them as he lost for the third time in four starts. He allowed seven runs on seven hits and two walks over two-plus innings. Wilmer Perez, who walked in his AAA debut, was 3-for-3 in his AA debut with two singles and a double while driving in two. Cole Freeman matched Perez’s three hits with three singles in five AB’s to account for half of the Sens’ 12 hits on the night.
Brooklyn 5 Wilmington 3
• A. Hernández 6IP, 5H, 3R, 2ER, BB, 8K, HR
• Hinton (L, 1-2) 1IP, 1H, 2R, 1ER, 0BB, 1K, WP
• Rhinesmith 2-4, R, HR, 2RBI, SB
• Pineda 1-3, BB
Both teams committed three errors, but the Blue Rocks’ miscues led to two unearned runs versus one for the Cyclones as Brooklyn took Game Two from Wilmington, 5-3. Alfonso Hernández notched his third quality start in seven High-A starts with three runs let in (two earned) on five hits (one HR) and a walk. The 21-y.o. southpaw fanned eight for the third time this season. The loss went to Kyle Hinton on an error-double-wild-pitch-sac-fly sequence in the bottom of the 8th. Jacob Rhinesmith had homered in the top of the 8th to tie the game at 3-3, helping to mask an(other) ineffective night for Wilmington: six hits total, none with six chances with RISP, and eight runners left on base.

• C. Romero (L, 1-3) 5IP, 7H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 1K, 2WP

Salem erased an early 1-0 deficit with two runs in the 4th and single runs in the 5th and 6th and held on for a 4-2 win over Fredericksburg. Carlos Romero pitched five full innings for the second consecutive start but lost for the third time. He allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks and struck out one. Leif Strom finished the game with one run over three innings to drop his ERA below 9.00 for the first time this season. Ricardo Méndez singled twice to push his hit streak to a league-best 18 games while Kevin Strohschein reached base three times with a walk, single, and a HR in the 9th to lead the F-Nats offense.
