Rochester 10 Worcester 8
• Rutledge 4IP, 7H, 5R, 4ER, 2BB, 4K, HR, 2HBP, WP
• L. Reyes (W, 5-0) ⅔ IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 1K, 1-1 IR-S

• Hill 3-4, 2R, 2B, SB
• Millas 2-3, 2R, BB, 2B, SB
• Dunn 2-4, R, 2RBI

The Red Wings put up three-spots in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th and withstood the answers of the (ugh) Woo Sox for a 10-8 win in the opener. Jackson Rutledge went the first four innings and was charged with five runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks. He hit two batters and struck out four. Luis Reyes vultured the win despite giving up an inherited runner and two runs of his own as he retired two of six batters faced in the 5th. Derek Hill extended his hit streak to 12 games with two singles and a double while Drew Millas also reached base three times with a single, a walk, and a double to lead Rochester’s 10-hit parade.

Worcester 4 Rochester 2
• R. Muñoz 2IP, 0H, 1R, 1ER, 2BB, 3K, 2WP, PTV
• Mengden 2IP, 2H, 0R, 1BB, 3K
• Mejia 2-4, R, 2B, E
• Downs 1-3, 2B, CS

In the “aftercap,” Worcester broke open a 1-0 game with two in the bottom of the 5th and held off Rochester for a 4-2 win to split the doubleheader. Roddery Muñoz made his first start for the Red Wings and “worked on some things” for a run on two walks and two wild pitches. He would take the loss when his teammates waited until the 6th to score. Erick Mejia led the offense with a single and a double, followed by Jeter Downs with a double to raise his BA to a whopping .180. Roster moves: RHP Amos Willingham optioned from Washington; RHP Andrés Machado added to the 40-man, recalled to Washington (Victor Robles transferred to the 60-day I.L.).

Altoona 3 Harrisburg 1
• Saenz (L, 0-4) 5IP, 7H, 3R, 3ER, 1BB, 2K
• Ruotolo 2IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 4K
• Wood 2-4, 3B, RBI
• Arruda 2-4, SB

The Curve broke a 1-1 tie with two in the 5th and held off the Senators for a 3-1 win. Dustin Saenz took the loss, his fourth at AA, with all three Altoon runs let in on seven hits and a walk. He struck out two. James Wood, J.T. Arruda, and Brady Lindsly each went 2-for-4 with Wood delivering the lone Harrisburg run with an RBI that scored Jacob Young from 1st base in the bottom of the 1st. The Sens went 0-for-4 with RISP and left on eight.

Brooklyn 3 Wilmington 0
• Alvarez (L, 5-3) 5IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 0BB, 5K, HR, HBP
• Zinn 2IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 0K
• Stehly 1-2, 2BB
• McKenzie 1-2, BB

Wilmington was shut out for the eighth time this season with Brooklyn doing the blanking, 3-0 on three hits. Andrew Alvarez gave up all three runs and six hits (one HR) over five innings to take the loss, his third. Murphy Stehly, Jared McKenzie, and Israel Pineda each had single. McKenzie had the one hit in eight RISP chances as the Blue Rocks were unable to take advantage of the eight walks drawn and thus left on 11 baserunners.

Myrtle Beach 10 Fredericksburg 5
• Cornelio (L, 2-7) 4⅔ IP, 8H, 8R, 3ER, 4BB, 4K, HR
• Hall 2IP, 5H, 0R, 0BB, 4K
• Romero 3-4, 2R, BB, E(3)
• Lawson 2-4, BB, 2RBI, E(18)
• McHenry 2-4, R, BB

The Pelicans snapped a 2-2 tie with a six-run 4th as they doubled up the FredNats, 10-5. Riley Cornelio took the brunt of the beating, allowing eight runs on eight hits (one HR) and four walks over four and 2/3rds innings. Max Romero led the Fredericksburg attack with three singles and a walk, followed by Cortland Lawson with two safeties and a base-on-balls.



FCL Nationals – OFF DAY
As expected, the releases are beginning. Yesterday, IF Erick Tejeda was sent packing after four seasons in the short-season leagues – two in the DSL, two in the FCL.

DSL Nationals 4 DSL Rockies 3 (8 inn.)
• Roman 4IP, 3H, 1R, 1ER, 1BB, 1K
• C. Martina (BS, 2; W, 1-2) ⅔ IP, H, 0R, 1BB, 0K, 1-1 IR-S
• Obispo 2-4, R, 2B, RBI
• E. Soto 2-4, 2-2B

Picking up where they leff off last week, the D-Nats rallied for two to take a 3-2 lead in the 5th. The DSL Rockies tied it in the 8th but the DSL Nationals defied the odds and got the game-winner on a leadoff double by Juan Obispo and a one-out triple by Eikel Joaquin for a 4-3 lead. Lightning crashes and old mother dies struck to stop play in the 8th and the officials eventually called it to give the D-Nats the win.
