• Hill 2-4, R, BB, SB(5)
• Kieboom 1-4, BB, RBI

The Red Wings got five solid innings from the bullpen, enabling the offense to erase and overcome a 3-0 deficit for a 5-3 win in 10 innings. Paolo Espino gave up three runs on five including, two of which came on his 4th HR allowed in six AAA starts. Anthony Banda (1IP), Hobie Harris (2IP), and Gerson Moreno (2IP), blanked the Mud Hens the rest of the way, with Moreno getting the “W.” Jake Alu fell a triple shy of the cycle while reaching base four time while Derek Hill singled twice, walked once, and stole his 5th base. Drew Millas tripled in his AAA debut, driving in the final Rochester run in the 10th.

Harrisburg 8 Reading 5
• Troop 5IP, 8H, 5R, 3ER, 2BB, 4K, 2HR, HBP, 2PO @ 1B
• Javier (W, 1-0) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 2K

• Rutherford 3-4, 2R, BB, HR(5), 3RBI
• Dunn 1-2, R, 2BB, SF, 2RBI, 3SB(12), E(3)
• Hassell 2-4, 2R, 2B

Harrisburg blew a 3-0 lead but rallied for five runs in the late innings to win its third straight, 8-5 over Reading. Alex Troop wobbled through five innings, giving up a pair of two-run HRs and five runs total on eight hits over five innings. He walked two and struck out four. Odalvi Javier was the pircher of record after working around a walk in the 6th, which got him the “W,” while Joel Peguero gave up a double in the 9th but nothing else to earn the save. Blake Rutherford, José Sánchez, and Jack Dunn all hit solo HRs while the Sens marched to a ten-hit parade, led by Rutherford with three, and followed by Hassell with two (single, double). That’s the fifth time Harrisburg has won three in a row but has yet to string together four.

Hudson Valley 4 Wilmington 0
• Tetreault (L, 0-1) 3IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 0BB, 3K, HR
• Saenz 6IP, 5H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 8K, WP, PO @ 1B
• Wood 2-4
• Mejia 1-2, BB

The Blue Rocks were shut out for the second time this season, 4-0 on four hits to lose to the Renegades in the series opener. Jackson Tetreault emerged from witness protection and “worked on some things” for three runs on six hits (one HR) over three innings. Dustin Saenz stayed on his schedule and finished the game with a bullpen-saving six innings of one-run ball on five hits without a walk while striking out eight. James Wood singled twice while Erick Mejia reached base on a single and a walk. The rest of the lineup went 1-for-23 with four walks.

Salem 4 Fredericksburg 3
• Bennett 6IP, 5H, 0R, 0BB, 5K, 2PO @ 1B
• González (H, 2) 1⅔ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, K
• Gomez (BS, 3; L, 3-3) ⅔ IP, 5H, 4R, 4ER, 0BB, 0K, HR(2R)
• Lile 1-3, BB, SB(10)
• W. Perez 2-3

Fredericksburg got strong pitching, good-enough offense, and two decent innings of relief. The problem was they needed three, which they did not get as Salem pressed Miguel Gomez for four runs on five hits in the 9th to turn a 3-0 lead into a 4-3 walkoff loss. The implosion turned Jake Bennett’s best outing into a no-decision as the 22-y.o. blanked the Red Sox for six innings on five hits and no walks while striking out five. The FredNats made the most of its seven baserunners (six hits, one walk), converting three of them into runs on a Brady House double, a Sammy Infante groundout, and a Paul Witt solo home run.
