• Lindsly 1-4, 2R, BB, HR, 3RBI

Red Wings homered three times in the late going and survived an Amos Willingham meltdown to take the series finale from Worcester, 8-5. Spenser Watkins dominated the (ugh) Woo Sox with seven innings of one-run ball on four hits and two walks to win his third. Willingham gave up a grand slam in the bottom of the eighth and allowed three hits total while walking two. Rico Garcia got the last four outs for his ninth save. Alex Call reached base five times with two singles, two walks, and a homer and drove in three, a total matched by Brady Lindsly with a homer and run-scoring groundout.

Reading 4 Harrisburg 0
• Lara (L, 3-1) 6IP, 7H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 4K, 2HR
• Grissom 1⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 2K
• Stubbs 2-4
• Wilson 2-4

Harrisburg was shut out again, 4-0 to lose the series, 4-2. Andry Lara gave up two solo HRs and seven hits total over six innings, but took the loss – his first at AA while notching his seventh straight quality start. The Senators got doubles from J.T. Arruda and Dérmis Garcia but neither came with anyone in front of them as Harrisburg went 0-for-8 with RISP and left on eight baserunners. C.J. Stubbs and Cody Wilson led the hit column with two singles apiece.

Hudson Valley 8 Wilmington 2
• Atencio (L, 0-4) 4IP, 9H, 5R, 5ER, 1BB, 4K, E
• W. Arias 1⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 3K, 1-0 IR-S
• Glasser 4-5, R, 2B, HR, 2RBI
• Frizzell 1-3, BB, SB

The Renegades opened up a one-run game with a three-run 4th and cruised to an 8-2 win that secured a 5-3 series win. José Atencio remains winless in five High-A starts, as he dropped his fourth game with five runs let in on nine hits and a walk over four innings. Phillip Glasser returned to the lineup with a vengeance, racking up eight total bases on two singles, a double, and homer and driving in two to power the Wilmington offense.



Kannapolis 8 Fredericksburg 2
• Gray (L, 0-1) 3IP, 3H, 3R, 3ER, 1BB, 2K, HR
• Sthele 2IP, 6H, 5R, 5ER, 2BB, 4K, HR
• McKenzie 2-4, 2R, HR, 2RBI
• Farmer 1-3, R, BB

Kannapolis never trailed as they pummeled Fredericksburg, 8-2 to take the series, 5-1. Josiah Gray did little to disprove the maxim that rehab starts are overrated as the Nats sole All-Star representative in 2023 was manhandled for three runs on three hits (one HR) and a walk to take the loss. Travis “Sunday” Sthele took over and threw in-game BP yet again, giving up the last five runs on six hit and two walks. Jared McKenzie homered again to account for both FredNats runs and two of the four hits on the afternoon. Roster moves: RHP Josiah Gray assigned from Washington for MLB rehab.

FCL Nationals, 11-14, 5th place FCL East, 6GB
The F-Nats reverted to the mean with a 1-4 week and tumbled back into the FCL East cellar, six games off the pace. This week, the FCL Nationals only leave West Palm Beach to play the FCL Cardinals in Jupiter on Thursday and have another Friday off.

DSL Nationals, 2-2, 5th place DSL Central, 2½ GB
