The Red Wings pitchers could not throw the shutout needed to win with just three baserunners in a 6-1 loss to the Mets. Wily Peralta did his part with three shutout innings, one hit, and no walks. He struck out four. Tommy Romero did not. Syracuse lit him up for five runs on four hits including a two-run HR. He walked three and struck out three while taking his first loss. Matt Adams broke up the perfect game and the shutout with a solo HR to lead off the 5th. Two batters later, Jeter Downs doubled with two out (duh) for the second and final hit. Lucius Fox led off the 6th with a walk for the last Rochester baserunner.
Roster moves: RHPs Franklyn Kilome, Luis Reyes reassigned from Harrisburg; RHPs Paolo Espino, Jesús Liranzo placed on 7-Day I.L., retroactive to 4/5.

Roster moves: LHP Juan Hillman placed on 60-Day I.L., CF Blake Rutherford placed on 7-Day I.L..

Wilmington vs. Aberdeen – PPD
SSDL for the Blue Rocks and the IronBirds, which will be made up with a twi-night twinbill, starting at 5:05 p.m.

Fredericksburg Nationals – OFF DAY
For whatever reason, the Carolina League’s ‘burgs were the only two teams in the league not scheduled last night. It may have been fortuitous given the rain that swept through the mid-Atlantic region last night. Tonight the FredNats start 2023 against the defending C.L. North champion Hillcats.

7 Commments

  1. Only rain on the horizon 20 minutes south of Aberdeen after the Boston went on dawn patrol .
    80 pct @ 8 am nothing on the map rest of the day .
    53 F presently
    Definitely jacket weather tonight for twin bill.

  2. Romero’s outing would have been a little more palatable had Downs not dropped a bases loaded, two out flyball to center that they ruled a double. Stuff looked okay, pitched out of the stretch 100% of the time, I don’t recall if he’s always done that.

    1. Fred MD what will the doctor watch this weekend and whom will you scout closely ?

    2. That begs the question, why was Downs in centerfield? He’s supposed to be an infielder.

  3. Rather elementary answer ML about Downs being in Cf
    That DL list for AAA includes Eric Meijia who might have been the guy in CF if healthy .
    Will be nice when the warm weather breaks for pitchers to grip all their pitches properly and the hitters get better loft on swings .

  4. KW let’s do a straw poll then
    Minor league pitcher of the year ??
    Aaron Barrett Award ?!
    Minor league stud player of the system ??
