Buffalo got into the Rochester ‘pen and this time, they faltered: three runs in the first inning to break open a 1-0 game. The Red Wings rallied for three in the 7th make things close (4-3), but the’pen wasn’t up to it again with one run let in in the 7th and another in 8th for a 6-3 loss. Sterling Sharp went the first three and gave up the first Bison run on four hits and a walk, but gave way to Wander Suero in the 4th. Suero got torched for three runs on four hits. Keibert Ruiz doubled and singled while Ali Castillo singled twice to lead the Rochester offense. Roster moves: RHP Tanner Rainey optioned from Washington.

It’s the 14th time this season Harrisburg has been blanked.

Wilmington rallied for five in the bottom of the 8th for a 7-4 sportswriter’s win and a three-game winning streak.

He lost the “W” when Zach Brzkcy was spun for three runs on five hits and a walk in the top of the 8th. It was the first blown save for Brzkcy and his fourth win. Francys Peguero worked around a two-out single in the 9th to earn the save. Armond Upshaw was a homer shy of the cycle as he went 4-for-5 with a double and a triple and stole three bases while newcomer Drew Millas singled twice and picked off a runner at first base. Roster moves: OF Jeremy Ydens, C Andrew Pratt activated from 7-Day I.L.; RHPs Jordan Bocko, Kyle Hinton released.
