Andry Lara reverted to the mean as the Grasshoppers beat the Blue Rocks again, 7-3. Lara gave up a homer and three hits total but struggled with his command, throwing 39 pitches but just 20 for strikes in an inning and 2/3rds. He walked three and fanned one. Caleb Farmer drove in two of three Wilmington runs with a homer and a sac fly after subbing for a rehabbing Israel Pineda. The Blue Rocks went 0-for-4 with four runners left on base, with the first run scoring on a double play.

Augusta 10 Fredericksburg 4

Fredericksburg got the same memo as Wilmington and Harrisburg minus the homer as in a 10-4 manhandling by Augusta. Erik Tolman moved up a day to start on just six days’ rest but still walked four in three innings, allowing two hits and striking out three. The loss went to Franklin Marquez who put all four runners he faced on base and gave up a triple and homer. The FredNats managed just five singles but took advantage of six walks and two errors to score four runs, and might’ve scored more were it not for an abysmal 2-for-14 mark with RISP.

FCL Mets 4 FCL Nationals 1 – GM. 1
• C. Sanchez 5IP, 3H, 1R, 1ER, 3BB, 3K

• Cox 1-2, BB, SB

Juan Garcia’s solo HR was not enough for the F-Nats pitchers to work with as they lost the opener in extras, 4-1. Camilo Sanchez made his fourth start and turned in five innings of one-run ball on three hits and three walks. He struck out three. The loss went to Moises Diaz, who retired the side in the 7th but was lit up for three runs on a HR after a fielder’s choice put on a second runner. Garcia also singled as did Brenner Cox to round out the three-hit attack by the FCL Nationals.
