Mitchell Parker did not fare any better in his second AAA outing, giving up seven runs on seven hits (two HR) and three walks over three and a 1/3rd innings to take the loss, his first at AAA and seventh overall. He walked three and struck out seven.
Neither Odalvi Javier (7R, 2IP) nor Tyler Schoff (3R, 1IP) fared any better, which led to Jack Dunn mopping up in the 7th and 8th. He was the least ineffective pitcher with two runs over one and 2/3rds innings. Hill also singled in the 4th and drew one of the Red Wings’ three (3) walks. Brady Lindsly rounded out the Rochester hit column with a safety in the 8th.
