Norfolk 9 Rochester 8
• Adon 3+ IP, 5H, 6R, 5ER, 2BB, 4K, HBP
• Baldonado 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Cronin (L, 2-1) ⅔ IP, 1H, 1R, 1ER, 2BB, 1K, 2-2 IR-S
• Nogowski 5-5, 2R, RBI, SB

• Dahl 2-5, R, 2RBI

Rochester blew an early 5-3 lead but rallied to tie at 8-8 with a two-run 8th. The Red Wings ‘pen coughed up a run in the top of the 9th and the offense got the tying and winnings run on base with nobody out. But a flyout and a double play ended it as they dropped No. 19 in a row, 9-8. Joan Adon picked up where he left off last month and was knocked from the box in the 4th after putting the first three runners on base without getting an out. He gave up six runs (five earned) five hits and two walks. Matt Cronin cordero’d around a walk and a hit while getting the last two outs of the 8th but was lifted after walking the leadoff batter in the 9th. Of course, that runner came around to score as Reed Garrett gave up singles to the first two batters he faced before rolling a double play and striking out former Nat prospect Kelvin Gutierrez. John Nogowski singled five times while Jake Alu walked, doubled, and homered to lead the Red Wings’ 15-hit parade.
Roster moves: RHP Mason Thompson optioned from Washington; RHP Will Harris assigned from Washington for MLB Rehab.

Harrisburg 8 Reading 2
• Reyes (W, 4-6) 7IP, 5H, 0R, 2BB, 7K, WP
• Meregildo 2-4, 2R, HR(5), 3RBI
• Pineda 2-4, R, 2RBI
• D. Johnson 2-5, 2R, HR, 2RBI, OF assist @ HP

The Senators had the misfortune of getting Luis Reyes on one of his good nights and thus were unable to extend their seven-game losing streak to eight, as the 27-y.o. tossed seven shutout innings to pitch Harrisburg to an 8-2 win. He also tied his season high of seven whiffs while walking two as he won his fourth game of the season. Omar Meregildo and Daniel Johnson both homered and combined for five RBI while Israel Pineda drove in two with a pair of RBI singles to lead the Sens’ offense.

Brooklyn 8 Wilmington 1
• Theophile (L, 1-5) 3+ IP, 6H, 4R, 4ER, 3BB, 4K, HBP, 2WP
• Ribalta 2IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 2K
• Méndez 2-4
• Hassell 1-3, R, BB

Brooklyn broke open a 2-0 game with a six-run 4th and cruised to an 8-1 win over Wilmington. Rodney Theophile lost for the fifth time in ten starts for the Blue Rocks, giving up four runs on six hits and three walks over three-plus innings. Yasel Antuna broke up the shutout bid with a sac fly, following back-to-back singles by Robert Hassell and Drew Millas in the bottom of the 4th. Wilmington managed just six hits total with Ricardo Méndez the sole batter to have multiple hits.
Roster moves: IF Junior Martina released.

Augusta vs. Fredericksburg – PPD
The heavy rains that besieged the D.C. area during rush hour hit Fredericksburg, too, washing out the game and forcing a twi-night twinbill tonight.

FCL Nationals – OFF DAY
After Tuesday’s purge, the FCL Nats made a few more moves:
