• Je. Rodiriguez 2IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 4K
• Adams 3-4

The Bisons completed their sweep of the Red Wings with a 1-0 shutout, sending Rochester to its fifth straight loss. Cory Abbott gave up a HR in his fourth and final inning and fifth hit total to lose for the fifth time. Jefry Rodriguez (2IP), Alberto Baldonado (1IP), and Mason Thompson (1IP) combined for four scoreless to give the offense a chance to tie. However, the Rochester bats were limited to five singles – three by Riley Adams and one each by Joey Meneses and Josh Palacios, who extended his hit streak to 14 games and his on-base streak to 27 games.

Altoona 3 Harrisburg 2
• Irvin 5IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 2BB, 5K

Harrisburg couldn’t make it three straight over Altoona, falling 3-2 in 10 innings in the series finale. Jake Irvin went the first five, allowing one run on two hits and two walks while setting down five on strikes. The loss went to Edgar García despite the Curve giving up their free runner on a botched sacrifice as he was thrown out at third. Instead, García walked two and gave up the go-ahead run after two walks on a one-out single to take the loss. The Sens were held to six safeties, one base-on-balls, and a hit batsman.

Wilmington 16 Hudson Valley 9
• Cuevas 3IP, 5H, 5R, 5ER, 2BB, 3K, HR

• Emiliani 2-5, 2R, 3B, HR, 4RBI
• Daily 2-5, 2R, HR, RBI

The Blue Rocks erased a 5-1 deficit with a five-run third and cruised past the Renegades, 16-9 to take the series, 2-1. Michael Cuevas was manhandled for five runs on five hits (one HR) and two walks over three innings. The win was awarded to Matt Merrill despite giving up a run in his only inning thrown. Leandro Emiliani tripled and homered while Drew Millas reached base five times with a double, homer, and three walks to lead Wilmington’s 14-hit parade.

Fredericksburg 10 Delmarva 8
• Rutledge 4IP, 7H, 8R, 6ER, 2BB, 4K
• B. Peña (W, 3-2) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Threadgill (SV, 4) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 2BB, 2K
• Arruda 2-5, 2R, HR, 4RBI, SAC, E(4)
• V. Peña 2-5, BB, RBI, SB
• Williams 2-4, BB, RBI

Fredericksburg overcame deficits of 3-1 and 8-3, highlighted by a five-run 9th as they swept their second straight series from Delmarva with a 10-8 win. Jackson Rutledge gave up all eight Shorebirds runs on seven hits and two walks over four innings for his fifth no-decision in 13 starts. It was the 11th time he failed to pitch five complete innings. Miguel Gomez and winning pitcher Bryan Peña both tossed two scoreless while Riggs Threadgill cordero’d through the 9th with two walks for the save. Jake Arruda singled, homered, scored twice, and drove in four while Viandel Peña and Steven Williams both singled twice, walked, and drove in a run as the FredNats took advantage of seven walks and two errors to score ten times on nine singles and a two-run HR.

FCL Nationals (23-9, 4½ GA, FCL East)
With less than a month left in the season, the F-Nats are still in 1st place. As implied, it would appear the Nats are no longer evaluating the bevy of 23-24-y.o.’s as most of the players used in the first series since the break are closer to the league average of ~21.

DSL Nationals (15-20, T7th, 7½ GB)
At just a game out of last place, the best the D-Nats can shoot for in 2022 is a .500 finish. Yesterday was the DSL All-Star game, with two D-Nats appearing in the game – 2B Misael Mojica drawing a walk in his lone PA off the bench and Jefrem Leon facing three batters in the 9th, with a run let in on two hits and one batter retired for the blown save.
