Buffalo 14 Rochester 8
• Peralta (L, 3-8) 3⅔ IP, 7H, 7R, 6ER, 6BB, 2K
• Witt 1IP, 2H, 0R, 1BB, 0K
• Noll 2-3, 4R, BB, HR, RBI, HBP
• García 2-5, R, HR, RBI
• Dunn 1-2, 3BB, RBI, SB
Rochester shut out Buffalo for three innings, two in succession. But the other five innings were in-game BP as the Bison outhit the Red Wings 16-7 and outscored them 14-8. Wily Peralta still has the Polaroids didn’t make it out of the 4th for the ninth time in 22 starts as he gave up seven runs on seven hits and six walks while striking out two. Paul Witt was the only pitcher worthy of the name as the journeyman scattered two hits in the 8th while getting three outs without a run scoring. Rochester drew a season-high 12 walks but were unable to make Buffalo pay with a measly 1-for-10 mark with RISP. Luis García and Jake Noll both hit solo HRs while Jack Dunn led the walkers with three base-on-balls.
Richmond 4 Harrisburg 0
• Alvarez (L, 0-1) 5IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, 3BB, 2K, PTV, E
• Young 3-5, 2SB
• Hassell 2-4, SAC, CS(5)
• 1-12 RISP; 12 LOB
Andrew Alvarez’s AA debut was good enough to perhaps win with some luck or some run support. He got neither as the Senators were shut out for the tenth time, 4-0, on eight hits. That was four more than the Flying Squirrels got, but Richmond managed to make Harrisburg pay for issuing seven walks, committing two errors, and hitting two batters. Alvarez turned five innings of two-run ball on three hits and three walks while striking out two and taking the loss. Jacob Young singled three times and stole two bases (second and third in the 1st) while Robert Hassell singled twice and Jackson Cluff, Lucius Fox, and J.T. Arruda each singled once. Roster moves: RHP Reid Schaller placed on the Development List; LHP Andrew Alvarez promoted from Wilmington (both moves effectve 8/17).
Aberdeen 7 Wilmington 6
• A. Lara 4IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 2BB, 2K, HR, WP
• Powell (BS, 2; L, 1-4) ⅔ IP, 2H, 4R, 4ER, 2BB, 1K
• Donovan 1BF, 1H, 1-1 IR-S
• Infante 3-4, 2R, 2B, HR, RBI
• Lawson 2-5, R, 3B, RBI
• Stehly 2-5, RBI
Wilmington was given a second chance to blow a 6-2 lead and this time Blue Rocks ‘pen delivered, coughing up four in the 9th to lose, 7-6. The blown-save-loss went to Holden Powell with two hits and two walks allowed in the 9th and an assist from Dakota Donovan who served up the game-winner to the one and only batter he faced. Andry Lara would have had a no-decision anyway as the 20-y.o. needed 70 pitches to get 12 outs and gave up a run on a home run and two hits total over four innings. He walked two and struck out two. Sammy Infante singled, doubled, and homered while (the law firm of ) Cortland Lawson and Murphy Stehly both went 2-for-5 with an RBI to lead the Wilmington offense.
Augusta 15 Fredericksburg 7
• Rainey (L, 0-1) ⅔ IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, 0BB, 0K
• Denaburg ⅔ IP, 3H, 4R, 2ER, 3BB, 0K, HBP, 2WP, 2-1 IR-S
• McHenry 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Nuñez 2-4, 3R, BB, 3SB
• Quintana 2-5, 3RBI, 2E
• Morales 2-5, 2R, 2K
The FredNats couldn’t outhit their pitching again, giving up double digits for the 17th time in a 15-7 loss. Tanner Rainey “worked on some stuff” as the GreenJackets got three hits in the 1st and scored twice. Fredericksburg trotted out four relievers who gave up 13 runs over the next five innings before Jared Simpson and Orlando Ribalta put up goose eggs in the 7th and 8th and John McHenry mopped up in the 9th with only a hit allowed in his pro pitching debut. Elijah Nuñez reaached base three times and stole three bases while Roismar Quintana and Yohandy Morales both went 2-for-5 with two runs scored (Morales) and three RBI (Quintana) to power the FredNats offense.
• Ward 3IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 5K, 2HBP
• M. Gomez (BS, 1; L, 1-2) 2⅓ IP, 5H, 5R, 2ER, 1BB, 1K. HR
• Mota 2-5, 2R, 3B, 2RBI, 3K
• Green 1-4, 2R, BB, HR, 2RBI, 1K
• Vaquero 2-5, R, 2B, 2K
• Pimentel 2-3, BB, 2B, 3RBI
A 9-0 lead after five innings was too small for the FCL Nationals bullpen, which gave up 11 runs over the last four innings to lose, 11-10. Thad Ward started and went three scoreless, allowing one hit, one walk, and two Robles while striking out five. The blown-save-loss wento Miguel Gomez with the last five runs allowed (two earned) on five hits (one HR) and one walk over two and a 1/3rd innings, though a dishonorable mention goes to Camilo Sanchez with an equally Denaburg-esque five runs over two and 1/3rd on three hits and five walks. Brandon Pimentel reached base three times and drove in three while Elijah Green homered, walked, and drove in two to lead the F-Nats attack.
DSL Twins 3 DSL Nationals 3
• Portorreal 4IP, 1H, 1R, 0ER, 1BB, 5K
• E. Rivero 1⅔ IP, 0H, 2R, 0ER, 3BB, 3K
• C. Martina (BS, 1) ⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, K, WP 2-1 IR-S
• Obispo 1-2, R, 2B, RBI
• Liriano 1-3, R, 2B
• Joaquin 1-3, R, 2B, E(20)
The D-Nats ‘pen blew a 3-1 lead with two runs in the bottom of the 6th before the rains came and perhaps saved them from their 39th loss. Instead, the DSL Nationals and DSL Twins tied at 3-3, securing a last-place finish for the D-Nats.
