Thursday’s News & Notes

Rochester 6 Toledo 3
• Aa. Sanchez 4IP, 5H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 4K, 2HR

• Barrera 3-3, 3R, BB
• Casey 2-4, 3B, HR, 4RBI

Despite the chill (50°F), six of the nine runs scored came via the longball as Rochester downed Toledo, 6-3. Red Wings starter Aaron Sanchez gave up two HRs in four innings pitched and five hits total while walking two and striking out four. The win went to Jace Fry with a scoreless 5th, two hits allowed, and three strikeouts. Donovan Casey struck out but once and drove in four as he tripled in Tres Barrera, who reached base four times with a walk, two singles, and a double, and broke open a 3-2 game with an Earl Weaver special in the 7th. Andrew Stevenson erased an early 1-0 deficit with a two-run HR in the 3rd. Roster moves: RHP Reed Garrett placed on 3-Day T.I.L.; RHP Curtis Taylor placed on 7-Day I.L.; C Welington Castillo placed on Restricted List.

For those of you who obsessing over the one roster we have thus far, we still don’t have it officially winnowed down to “The 28.” But the latest roster may have some hints as, with the exception of Barrera, 27 of those listed do have an assigned number. So just a few more hours, presumably, until we get more clarity as the “Big Nats” are set to lose start the first of 162 tonight against the Mets.
