| DSL Nationals | Won, 3-2 | END OF SEASON |
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 5 Rochester 2

The RailRiders took another step towards a series sweep as they took their fourth straight from Rochester, 5-2. Jefry Rodriguez gave up all five runs on seven hits and three walks. He struck out three while losing his second game at AAA. Carson Teel threw four scoreless to finish. Raudy Read singled, doubled, and homered while Gilbert Lara singled twice and drove in the first Red Wings run.
DSL Nationals 3 DSL Tigers 2 (6 inn.)
• Montero 2⅔ IP, 3H, 2R, 0ER, BB, 2K, WP
• Agostini (W, 5-2) 2⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 4K, 3-0 IR-S
• Tejeda 1-3, RBI
• Estrada 1-2, 2B
The D-Nats won their season finale in a (presumably) rain-shortened six-inning game, 3-2 over the D-Tigers. Ronni Montero got the start and let in both unearned runs on three hits and a walk over two and 2/3rds innings. The win went to Gabriel Agostini, who left the bases loaded in the 3rd and was perfect for two more with four whiffs total. Jean Estrada doubled while Erick Tejeda, Cristian Batista, and Sebastian Castro each singled to comprise the D-Nats hit column.
ADON TO BE CALLED UP TO START TODAY
Perhaps you may have noticed that the Joan Adon was supposed to have started on Friday night for Rochester only to have been replaced by Steven Fuentes. Turns out the Nats are planning to start him today against Boston and Chris Sale. Apparently, four days’ rest is not enough for Patrick Corbin?!
It’s adorable that people are framing this as a promotion, as opposed to “We need an arm that won’t require a 40-man move, and someone who just pitched will just have to have an injury.” Josh Rogers has already caught the Hellenic flu, so can go someone check on Josiah Gray’s ingrown toenail? #kthxbai
We need to give a shout out to the DSL Nats as they are the one team in the system with a winning record in 2021.
Credit to Joan Adon for a very good MLB debut. I was impressed with him in his Triple-A debut last month, so I wasn’t totally caught off guard, but I think it’s fair to say he exceeded expectations.
As for the rest of this miserable 2021 team…well, so it goes.
