Jake Noll’s grand slam would be all Rochester would get, but it would be all they need for 4-2 win to establish a three-game winning streak. Jefy Rodriguez won for the second time with a quality start, allowing two HRs and six hits total over six innings. He walked one and struck out six. Jhon Romero, Aaron Barrett, and Bryan Bonnell each put up a goose egg to seal the deal, with Romero and Barrett earning holds and Bonnell getting the save. Victor Robles added the only other extra-base hit (a double) while singling, as did Trey Barrera and Jecksson Flores. Roster moves: LHP Carson Teel reassigned from Harrisburg; RHP Tanner Rainey recalled to Washington; RHP Dakota Bacus activated from 3-Day T.I.L.; RHP Wander Suero optioned from Washington.
