The Red Wings jumped out to a 3-0 lead after one and pushed it to 6-0 after three as they cruised to a 7-3 win in the series opener. Cory “Don’t Call Me Roger” Abbott returned to the rotation with his first quality start and second win, allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out nine.

How long before the MASN Commenters start the campaign to bring up Jackson Rutledge? The fourth-year prospect spun his fourth straight quality start to become the first Nats’ starter in the minors to win three games, giving up a run on five hits and two walks to go with five whiffs. J.T. Arruda gave the Sens an early 2-0 lead with a first-inning HR, his first, while Drew Millas’s two-run single capped off a three-run 6th to highlight the Harrisburg batters’ night. Roster moves: RHP Ronald Herrera roster status changed (I.L.?)

The Blue Rocks somehow managed to force extras despite their offensive futility (3-for-22 RISP) but fell in the 11th, 5-4. Andrew Alvarez went the first four innings and let in one unearned run on five hits and two walks. He struck out four. Jack Sinclair took the loss on a pair of sacrifices (hit, fly) in his third inning of work.

Fredericksburg ended its four-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over Carolina. Jake Bennett turned in five scoreless innings, with two hits, a walk, and two down by way of the K. He got the benefit of a four-run top of the 6th to earn his first win. Mason Denaburg was trotted out in the 6th and sent to the showers after walking four of six batters, with only one run allowed as Franklin Marquez stranded three. Tyler Yankosky got the rulebook save with two runs allowed on two hits and a walk in the 9th. Daylen Lile reached base four times with three singles and a walk while Cortland Lawson singled and doubled to lead the FredNats attack.
