Rochester 11 Syracuse 6
• Mengden 2⅓ IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 1BB, 3K, 2HBP

Rochester jumped out to a 5-1 lead, let Syracuse get as close as 6-5, then pulled away with a four-run 9th to win, 11-6. Daniel Mengden got the spot start in place of Jackson Rutledge (“late scratch” according to the Syracuse broadcast team; no mention in the Rochester gamer) and let in a run on two hits, two Robles, and a walk. Anthony Banda got the rulebook win with three runs allowed (one earned) on three hits and a walk over two and 2/3rds innings. Darren Baker led the Red Wings’ ten-hit parade with with three singles and two RBI, followed by Brady Lindsly with two safeties and two RBI. Erick Mejia drove in three with his 8th HR and also singled. Roster moves: IF Luis García recalled to Washington.

Altoona 6 Harrisburg 0
• Ward (L, 0-2) 5IP, 4H, 4R, 2ER, 1BB, 3K, HR
• Ribalta 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Wood 2-4, 2K
• Arruda 1-3

The Senators bats were on recess again as the Curve shut them out, 6-0 on six hits. Thad Ward gave up the first four runs on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out three. James Wood was the sole Harrisburg batter to reach base twice with two of the six singles. The Sens struck out ten times and were 0-for-7 with RISP with seven runners left on base.



Brooklyn 4 Wilmington 3
• Lord 6IP, 6H, 2R, 1ER, 0BB, 12K
• Peterson (BS, 4; L, 2-6) ⅔ IP, 2H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 0K, WP
• Pinckney 2-4, R
• Morales 2-4, R

Brooklyn rallied for two in the bottom of the 9th to walk off Wilmington, 4-3. The meltdown wasted a quality start by Brad Lord, who let in two runs (one earned) on six hits over six innings while striking out a career-high of 12. The blown-save-loss went to Todd Peterson who gave up a single and a double to the first two batters he faced then wild-pitched the winning run to third, which enabled the Cyclones to hit sac fly to win the game. Daylen Lile, Andrew Pinckney, and Yohandy Morales each had two hits as the Blue Rocks dropped in eight singles for the night while drawing three bases-on-balls.

Fredericksburg 15 Delmarva 10
• L. Young 4⅓ IP, 8H, 6R, 4ER, 3BB, 3K,

• Brown 2-4, R, 2BB, 2RBI

Pitching? Who needs pitching? The FredNats and Shorebirds combined for 25 runs and 31 hits in a 15-10 Fredericksburg win. Luke Young didn’t exactly defend his Pitcher of the Week title, giving up six runs (four earned) on eight hits and three walks over four and 1/3rd innings. Pedro González was credited with the win without a clean outing for the fifth time as he allowed a run on three hits over an inning and 2/3rds. Elijah Nunez was the beer man in a 15-hit outing, with John McHenry, Phillip Glasser, and Roismar Quintana combining for nine hits, six runs and six RBI, a walk (McHenry), two doubles (Glasser), and a home run (Quintana).
