Rochester got another strong outing from its stAAAArter but the ‘pen? Not so much.

Wily Peralta struck out 10 for the first time since 2016 as the journeyman gave up a run on a home run and two hits total over six frames while walking one. Jose Ferrer got the loss with an “assist” from Jordan Weems, who blew his third save in six chances.

Three relievers combined for a run over three innings, with Tim Cate rebounding to earn his fifth hold and Orlando Ribalta pitching a 1-2-3 ninth for his first save.

Andry Lara got the memo and turned in six shutout innings for his first win and quality start of the season. He walked one and set down six on strikes. Gomez walked one and gave up three hits but “thanks” to an error all four runs let in were unearned. Jared McKenzie singled twice and drove in a run while James Wood’s fourth HR was a three-run shot to power the Blue Rocks attack.

He walked three and struck out five. Marlon Perez followed with three scoreless innings, giving up a walk and a hit to earn the “W,” his first. Jared McKenzie led Wilmington’s 12-hit parade with a double and a triple and two RBI while Viandel Peña and Trey Lipscomb both went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored.
