A tense pitcher’s duel ended on a botched sacrifice as Scranton/Wilkes-Barre threw this one way for a 2-1 Rochester win. Jackson Rutledge went five scoreless innings with two hits, three walks, and seven whiffs. Tim Cate, the fifth reliever out of the ‘pen, picked up his first AAA win with a 1-2-3 tenth.

• Hassell 2-5, R, 2B(15)
• Lipscomb 1-4, R, BB, SB

The Senators scored more than four runs for the first time in a nearly week… and still lost, 6-5 to the Rumble Ponies. All five runs came in the top of the 8th, highlighted by a two-run double—his second of the game—by Dylan Crews. Robert Hassell singled, doubled, and scored a run while Trey Lipscomb and Jackson Cluff both reached base twice with a single and a walk. Michael Cuevas took the loss despite giving up just one run on four hits (one HR) and two walks over five and 2/3rds innings. Roster moves: RHP Orlando Ribalta activated from 7-Day I.L.; IF Murphy Stehly reassigned from Wilmington.



Wilmington 3 Hudson Valley
• A. Lara (W, 6-8) 5IP, 6H, 2R, 1ER, 1BB, 2K
• Da. Díaz (H, 3) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 3K, HBP, BK
• C. Romero (SV, 2) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 1K, WP
• Made 1-3, R, BB, 2B, RBI, E
• Infante 1-2, 2R, BB, CS

Hudson Valley got to Andry Lara for two in the top of the 1st and then were shut down and out as Wilmington won for the seventh time in eight games, 3-2. Lara went five full innings and allowed six hits and a walk while striking out two for his sixth win. Dannel Díaz and Carlos Romero both turned in two scoreless to earn the hold and save, respectively. Kevin Made walked, doubled, and scored the deciding run while Sammy Infante singled, walked, and scored twice. The Blue Rocks drew nine walks and went 2-for-11 with RISP with 10 runners left on. Roster moves: IF Nick Shumpert activated from the Development List.

Lynchburg 13 Fredericksburg 1
• Tepper (L, 0-2) 2⅓ IP, 6H, 8R, 8ER, 2BB, 2K
• Schultz 2⅔ IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 1BB, 2K, HR, 2-2 IR-S
• Emiliani 2-4, 2B, E
• Vaquero 1-4, BB, E

An eight-run 3rd put this one away early as the Hillcats disemboweled the FredNats, 13-1. This was not a bowl of Life cereal for Mikey Tepper, who prolly didn’t like giving up eight runs on six hits and two walks over two and a 1/3rd innings for his second loss in as many starts. Leandro Emiliani had the sole extra-base hit as he went 2-for-4 with a double while Cristhian Vaquero and Marcus Brown both walked and singled to pace the seven-hit, five-walk offense. Roster moves: RHPs Austin Amaral, Mason Denaburg placed on the 7-Day I.L.; RHPs Anthony Arguelles, Bryan Polanco reassigned from the FCL.
