Lehigh Valley 3 Rochester 1
• Verrett (L, 1-3) 5⅔ IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 4BB, 3K, HR
• Clippard 2IP, 1H, 0R, 2BB, 2K
• Fox 3-3, R, BB, 3B, SB
• Stevenson 1-3, BB, RBI, HBP

Lehigh Valley scored all three runs in the 3rd and made it stand up for a 3-1 win over Rochester. Logan Verrett pitched into the sixth for the first time this season, allowing all three IronPigs runs on six hits and four walks while striking out three. Alberto Baldonado and Tyler Clippard shut down Lehigh Valley for three and a 1/3rd innings, but the Red Wings’ offense did not take advantage. Lineup bookends Lucius Fox and Andrew Stevenson both reached base three times, with Fox tripling to lead off the 7th and scoring on Stevenson’s one-out RBI single. Rochester mustered just five hits and could not make the IronPigs pay for issuing six walks, as the Red Wings were just 1-for-9 with RISP and left on 10 baserunners.
Roster move: C Wilmer Perez activated from the Developmental List.

Portland 4 Harrisburg 1
• Reyes 3IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Troop 3IP, 3H, R, ER, 0BB, 4K, HR
• Brill (L, 1-1) 3BF, 2H, 3R, 3ER, BB, 0K, HR
• W. Garcia 3-3
• Alu 3-4, SB, CS

All four Sea Dogs runs came via the longball, including a three-run walkoff to hand the Senators a 4-1 loss. True to form, the Nats scratched Cole Henry on a road start, i.e., little chance of the road announcing crew passing along any news. Instead, Luis Reyes was trotted out for the first three innings, followed by Alex Troop for the second three. Troop gave up the first Pedro Castellanos HR while Matt Brill gave up the second Castellanos HR after putting the first two runners on in the 9th. Harrisburg’s small-ball woes continued as they could only score one (1) run on 10 singles and two doubles. Six of those singles came off the bats of Wilson Garcia and Jake Alu (three apiece) while Brady Lindsly notched two more while driving in the lone Harrisburg run.

Wilmington 6 Jersey Shore 2
• Cuevas (W, 1-4) 5⅔ IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 3BB, 4K, WP
• Knowles 1⅔ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 5K
• Mendoza 3-4, 2R, HR, 2RBI
• Antuna 1-4, 2B, RBI
• Méndez 1-4, RBI

Wilmington scored crooked numbers in three straight innings as they tripled up Jersey Shore, 6-2. Michael Cuevas notched his first win of the season, but fell an out short of a quality start with both BlueClaws runs let in on four hits and three walks over five and 2/3rds innings. He fanned four. Lucas Knowles and Zach Brzykcy each threw one 2/3rds scoreless to close out the game. Drew Mendoza singled twice and hit a two-run HR to account for half of the six Blue Rocks hits. Yasel Antuna (double) and Ricardo Méndez (single) both had RBI hits.

Delmarva 5 Fredericksburg 3
• Caceres 5IP, 6H, 5R, 5ER, 0BB, 7K, BK, HBP
• Alvarez 3IP, 0H, 0R, BB, 6K, WP
• Infante 2-4, 2B, CS, E
• V. Peña 1-3, R, 3B

All three FredNats scored on an error as the ShoreBirds took this one, 5-3. It was the fifth Fredericksburg loss in its last six games. Bryan Caceres gave up all five Delmarva runs on six hits over five innings. He walked none and struck out seven. Andrew Alvarez dominated in relief, setting down six on strikes over three innings while issuing a walk. Sammy Infante singled and doubled while Viandel Peña tripled and scored a run as Fredericksburg manages just six hits and one walk, which was drawn by Jacob Young who was also hit twice by pitches.
