• Nogowski 2-3, R, 2B, HR, 3RBI
• Stevenson 2-5, RBI

While the Red Wings were able to score in four consecutive innings, it wasn’t enough to overcome the Clippers’ five-run 3rd as they dropped their 15th straight, 8-5. Jefry Rodriguez was the opener and the loser as Columbus lit him up for three runs on three hits and three walks over two innings. Carson Teel was the most effective of the five relievers to follow, putting on two baserunners in two scoreless innings. John Nogowski doubled, homered, and drove in three while Andrew Stevenson had two safeties to lead Rochester’s seven-hit, four-walk offense.
Roster moves: UT Dee Strange-Gordon, RHP Sterling Sharp released; LHP Josh Rogers outrighted from Washington, elected free agency; RHP Connor Sadzeck assigned from Washington.

• Baker 2-4, R, SB
• Meregildo 1-3, R, BB, HR, RBI

Harrisburg led this one twice, 2-1 and 3-2, but faltered in the late innings to extend its losing streak to four. Jake Irvin labored through four innings, giving up two runs on two hits (one HR) and three walks. He struck out eight. Reid Schaller rode the “L” with an assist from Trey Harris’s error on a dropped flyball as two runs scored in the 8th to give the BaySox a 5-3 lead. Darren Baker was the sole batter to have multiple hits (two singles) while Wilson Garcia and Omar Meregildo both hit solo shots to highlight the Harrisburg attack.
Roster moves: RHP Dakody Clemmer, OF Jacob Rhinesmith released.

Aberdeen 7 Wilmington 6 – COMP.
• Guasch (L, 1-1) 3IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 4K, HBP, 2WP
• Sinclair 2IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 1K
• Antuna 2-4, 2R, BB, HR, 2RBI
• Emiliani 2-3, 2R, BB, 2B, RBI
• Millas 1-2, R, 3BB

The Blue Rocks couldn’t hold the 5-3 lead, instead giving up three in the 5th and one in the 7th as the IronBirds took the completion, 7-6. Richard Guasch took the loss, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over three innings of relief. Yasel Antuna singled, walked, homered, and drove in two while Leandro Emiliani singled, doubled, walked, and drove in one to pace the Wilmington offense.

Aberdeen 6 Wilmington 3 – GM. 2
• Cuevas (L, 4-11) 3IP, 3H, 3R, 1ER, 1BB, 1K, WP
• Ferrer 1IP, 2H, 2R, 0ER, 0BB, 1K
• Méndez 2-3, R, HR(5), 2RBI
• Barley 1-3, R, SB(34)

After an 82-minute delay, Aberdeen doubled up Wilmington, 6-3 to complete the de facto doubleheader sweep. Michael Cuevas lost his 11th game with three runs allowed (one earned) on three hits and a walk while striking out one. Ricardo Méndez hit his 5th HR and plated two while Jordy Barley singled, scored a run, and stole his 34th base to lead the Blue Rocks offense.

Down East 10 Fredericksburg 9 (10 inn.)
• Seijas 4IP, 6H, 6R, 6ER, 4BB, 4K, HR
• Schoff 3IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 6K
• Threadgill (BS, 2; L, 6-2) ⅔ IP, 1H, 2R, 1ER, 1BB, 0K, HBP, WP
• Wood 4-6, R, HR, 3RBI
• Pettigrew 2-4, 2R, BB, 2-2B, RBI
• Arruda 2-5, R, BB, HR, 3RBI

The best hope to avoid an organizational sweep was, as usual, up to the FredNats. Despite a monster debut from James Wood, who went 4-for-6 with a HR and three RBI, Fredericksburg fell in extras, 10-9. Karlo Seijas returned to the rotation and picked up where he left off, digging a 6-0 hole after two innings and needing 76 pitches to get 12 outs as gave up six hits, walked four, and struck out four. The FredNats led twice in the late innings – 8-7 after 7½ and 9-8 after 9½ – but Riggs Threadgill hit a batter, walked a batter, and threw a wild pitch before giving up the two-out single for the walk-off loss.

• Santana 2-4, 2-2B
• Torres 2-4
• 0-9 RISP; 9 LOB

The F-Nats outhit the F-Marlins 9-5 but were a wee bit behind in the run column, 7-0. After a pair of rehabs were trotted out (see below) for an inning apiece, 19-y.o. Camilo Sanchez took the hill in the 3rd and was dinged for four runs (one earned) on one hit and two walks to suffer the loss. Eliesel Santana doubled twice while Ray Torres singled twice to lead the age-appropriate hitters.
Roster moves: RHP Zack Burdi assigned from Rochester for MiLB Rehab; LHP Peyton Glavine assigned from Fredericksburg for MiLB Rehab.
