Buffalo 10 Rochester 9
• Sharp 3⅓ IP, 3H, 5R, 5ER, 3BB, 3K, HBP, WP

• Stevenson 3-6, R, 2B, 2RBI
“You can’t lose when eight different batters get a hit and the team goes 8-for-18 with RISP.”
“Hold my beer,” said the Rochester Red Wings, then proceeding to blow leads of 6-0 and 8-5 en route to a 10-9 loss in 10 innings. Sterling Sharp got the start and got knocked from the box in the 4th after a five-run stampede by Buffalo. Three innings later, Matt Cronin let in two inherited runners and two runs of his own to wear his first blown save of 2022 and put Rochester in a 9-8 deficit. Jake Alu and Donovan Casey both singled in the 9th to force extras, where the Red Wings went in order and the Bison did not as Patrick Murphy walked three (one intentionally) to force in the winning run and take the loss.
Roster moves: LHP Josh Rogers MLB Rehab ended, optioned from Washington.
Harrisburg 2 Altoona 1
• Reyes (W, 3-4) 6⅔ IP, 3H, 1R, 1ER, 3BB, 7K, WP
• Schaller (SV, 2) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 1K
• Lara 2-3, 2B(5), RBI
• Pineda 1-3, 2B, RBI, PB
After winning a slugfest on Friday night, the Senators decided to give a pitcher’s duel a try and edged the Curve, 2-1. Luis Reyes pitched into the 7th for the first time in 2022, allowing the Altoona run on three hits and three walks while tying his season-best with seven whiffs. Both Brian Gonzalez and Danny Dopico summoned the ghost of Chad Cordero, putting the tying run into scoring position before escaping the jam to earn a hold. Reid Schaller merely put the tying run with a two-out walk in the 9th to notch the save. Gilbert Lara doubled in the first run in the 3rd while Justin Connell and Israel Pineda had back-to-back doubles in the 4th to score the second Sens run. Harrisburg managed just six hits total, with Lara the sole batter to reach base twice as he also singled in the 8th.
Hudson Valley 3 Wilmington 0
• Theophile (L, 1-3) 5IP, 6H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 3K
• Alvarez 2IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Strohschein 1-3
Hudson Valley brought a no-hitter into the 8th where Kevin Strohschein singled to end it. Leandro Emiliani walked to bring the tying run up to bat. Strohschein advanced to third on a strikeout/passed ball and then walked off when Jordy Barley flew out to end the only scoring threat of the night in a 3-0 shutout by the Renegades. Rodney Theophile pitched five innings of two-run ball on six hits and a walk and struck out three in the loss.
Fredericksburg 7 Delmarva 0
• Aldonis (W, 2-0) 5IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 8K
• Collins 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Ge. Diaz 2-3, BB, SF, 4RBI, CS
• Boisserie 2-3, 2R, 2BB, RBI
• White 2-4
• J. Young (30, 31, 32), Infante (10, 11, 12) 3SB
Five Fredericksburg pitchers combined to shut out the Shorebirds, 7-0, on six hits. Pablo Aldonis turned in another five scoreless to win his second Low-A start as he allowed two hits, no walks, and struck out eight. Geraldi Diaz plated four runs while going 2-for-3 and a walk while Branden Boisserie singled twice, walked twice, and drove in a run to lead the Fredericksburg offense.
FCL Mets 4 FCL Nationals 3 (10 inn.)
• Blanco 2⅔ IP, 4H, 2R, 1ER, 4BB, 2K
• Seijas 3⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• P. González (L, 1-1) 2⅔ IP, 3H, 2R, 0ER, 0BB, 4K, 2HBP
• Quintana 2-3, 2R, 2B
• Coutts 1-2, 2BB
A two-out error by the F-Nats in the bottom of the 10th let the tying run score from 2nd and the F-Mets took advantage of the extra out to walk off with a 4-3 win. Mirton Blanco was pulled off the shelf and given his first start. He allowed the first two runs on four hits and four walks over two and 2/3rds innings. The loss went to Pedro González, who was charged with two unearned runs on three hits and no walks over the last two and 2/3rds innings. Roismar Quintana singled, doubled, and scored two runs while Jackson Coutts singled and walked twice to pace the F-Nats attack.

• Mojica 1-3, 2B
• D. Martinez 1-3
It was a tough morning for the D-Nats as they dropped a pair of 1-0 games, including a seven-inning game in which they did not allow a hit but did walk in the lone run for a true walk-off loss.
Pablo Aldonis, just turned 20, has adjusted nicely to Low A. Two 5 inning shutouts announces your arrival.
I worked with someone who spent 4 years in the Mets system and he said the best part was leaving Florida and playing at night in front of fans.
Blake Sabol has been Sens killer all summer !
I got stumped when I saw “Harris” in the box score pitching for Fredericksburg. That’s the long-lost Will Harris. Also Reed Garrett pitched for the FredNats as well.
I know this is not the place for venting about the big club, but there is so little to see there. It bothers me to see all the players 35 years old or more on such a team (Anibal, Cishek, Escobar, Y. Hernandez, Cruz) and players with no future (M. Franco. E. Adrianza). It doesn’t even look that there’s any kids that could get a shot the rest of the way (maybe Brzykcy?)
I’d like Adon to establish himself in AAA so I’m not naming him.
I am sure many are plotting on their own Big Boards in their heads the signed draft picks .
The Complex roster should look slightly altered by August 10 th.
Lips comb and the Longhorn M.S. and the outfielders .
Yes , Todd , we are awaiting the pink slips to be left in lockers .
Well safe to say that verbal agreement of Nats with Sotos brother may change in time to say the least ?
Next summers draft should be much more productive especially if the slot positions is 1-3. Not number 5.
Imagine another arm coming off TJ surgery prior – Nick Pogue 6’5 “ UF Gator RHP
Bubba Hall Dallas Baptist RHO
Another RHP off Oregon State
UFAs and several others BA posted this week
Interesting to see how the Lipscomb projectory curve parallels with Kiebooms recovery projectory
Now that Sens have Martin and Baker table setting all that is needs is an activated Rhinesmith.
Troy Sweeney has Cuevas number today but Will smoking with new lineup stance
Next wave of bump ups by late August ?
So 20 draft picks plus five college free agent signees so far . . . means there’s probably big turnover coming in the ranks of the minors soon. Or maybe they should just release the rest of the MLB roster that they can’t manage to trade. I agree with Nattering that it’s gotten really painful to watch/follow, when they’re getting clobbered by a last-place team.
Can they just send some of the new picks and FA’s to XST? Or do they have to place them on the rosters of the affiliates?
By the way, here’s a list of guys who didn’t seem to make a roster this year, and I didn’t see they were released. Powell was a 3rd round pick from UCLA.
Stoeckinger (26)
A. Hernandez (23)
Dyson (25)
Wells (26)
Tapani (28)
Powell (23)
Moore (24)
Dunlap (28)
Pratt (26)
Marinconz (26)
Upshaw (26)
Holden Powell has been hurt since pretty much the instant he signed with us. He might still be hurt or the Nats might have simply run out of patience.
Moore an eye brow raiser after his year but age ticks as fast as a Timex
Fonzi caught in numbers game
Seems I saw Bubba pitch
In series game for Dallas Baptist on espn one night
Separate the wheat from the chaffe with arm depth then sign more UFAs
Good take São
Tyler Dyson was a 5th round pick, so they’re going to give him time to heal.
So Dyson still on 60 day DL then
Fred MD
Did Rutledge hit the Durham Bull in attendance tonight like Nuke LaRoosh ? Wow !
Bob Uecker would have worn himself out tonight saying : just a bit .. outside ??
Wells got released and is now playing Indy Ball. Dunlap retired. Marinconz was released too, as seemingly was Pratt and Stoeckinger too (their MILB profiles no longer exist).
Alfonso Hernandez, Dyson, Moore and Powell are injured.
Upshaw is listed on the 60 day IL on the Senators roster.
Tapani was released at the end of spring training. He is currently playing for the Kane County Cougars in the American Association League. Others on that list may have been either free agents that weren’t signed or maybe released before the season started.
