Lehigh Valley 11 Rochester 5
• Cavalli (L, 1-3) ⅔ IP, 4H, 5R, 5ER, 2BB, 2K
• Machado 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Noll 2-4, R, 2B, 2RBI
• Meneses 1-4, R, 2B

A pitcher from Hertford, NC once noted that solar exposure could not be limited to a singular canine, which the Red Wings demonstrated with an 11-5 loss to the IronPigs to end a nine-game winning streak. Cade Cavalli didn’t make it out of the 1st as he was pounded for five runs on four hits while issuing two walks and striking out two. It was his third loss this season and 8th in 13 AAA starts. His 2021 ERA in six AAA starts was 7.30; in seven starts in 2022 it’s 7.62. Jake Noll singled, doubled, and drove in two to lead the Rochester offense, which made the most of eight hits, two walks, and a Victor Robles. Note: While Andrew Stevenson was hit by a pitch, he appeared on defense afterwards. Likewise, Luis García grounded out in the bottom of the 6th before he was replaced on defense in the top of the 7th.

Portland 6 Harrisburg 2
• Guasch (L, 2-5) 2+ IP, 1H, 4R, 4ER, 5BB, 6K, 2HBP
• A. Lee 3IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, BB, 4K, HR, 2-2 IR-S
• W. Garcia 1-3, RBI, HBP
• Millas 1-3

Richard Guasch struck out the side twice in two-plus innings. He also walked five, hit two, and gave up four runs in a 6-2 Harrisburg loss. LaLoosh Guasch lost for the fifth time in seven starts. It was essentially a moot point as the Senators’ offense was in recess, with just three hits on the night – singles by Wilson Garcia, Drew Millas, and Jecksson Flores, all of which came in the 1st. The second Harrisburg run scored on an error in the 9th.
Roster moves: RHP Erik Manoah Jr. released; RHP Luis Reyes reinstated from the Development List and reassigned from Rochester.

Wilmington 12 Jersey Shore 7
• Merrill 2+ IP, 5H, 6R, 6ER, 2BB, 2K
• M. Peña (W, 1-1) 3IP, 1H, 1R, 1ER, 2BB, 1K, HR, 1-1 IR-S
• C. Romero 2IP, 0H, 0R, 3BB, 3K
• Mendoza 3-4, 2R, 2B, HR, 5RBI
• Pineda 2-4, 2R, BB, RBI, 2SB
• Jo. Sánchez 2-4, R
• Antuna 1-3, R, 2BB, HR, RBI

The Blue Rocks built an 8-0 lead after two and damn near blew it after giving up seven in the 3rd. But the Wilmington ‘pen delivered while the offense got two more runs in both the 5th and 6th innings to prevail, 12-7. Matt Merill got hit hard Forrest Gump pause again as he was tanned for six runs on five hits and two walks over two-plus innings to raise his ERA to 8.50 after six starts. Malvin Peña let in on inherited runner and one run of his own on a HR over three innings to pick up the win. Cage Canning will be the one to make the packy run as he was the beer man in the Blue Rocks’ 11-hit parade, led by Drew Mendoza, who homered for the first time in ’22 and finished with a 3-for-4, five-RBI night, followed by Israel Pineda, who singled twice, walked once, and stole two bases.

Delmarva 5 Fredericksburg 3
• Saenz 4⅔ IP, 1H, 1R, 1ER, 3BB, 4K, HBP, 2WP
• B. Peña (L, 1-1) 1⅓ IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 1K, HR, 1-0 IR-S
• De La Rosa 2-4, 2R, 2B
• House 2-3, R, HR, RBI, HBP

Delmarva scored in each of its last four at-bats to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 5-3 win – the fourth loss in five games for Fredericksburg. Dustin Saenz left the game with an injured ankle after diving over the runner that scored on his second wild pitch. The not-so-nimble southpaw finished with one run allowed on one hit, three walks, a Victor Robles, and two wild pitches over four and 2/3rds. He struck out four. The loss went to Bryan Peña on a two-run HR allowed in his second inning of work. Jeremy De La Rosa singled and doubled while Brady House singled and homered to lead the FredNats offense, which went just 2-for-12 with RISP and left on seven baserunners.
Roster moves: C Allan Berrios reinstated from the Development List and reassigned from Harrisburg.
