Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 3 Rochester 0
• Alvarez 5IP, 4H, 0R, 0BB, 2K,
• Medina (L, 4-1) 1⅔ IP, 3H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 2K
• Blankenhorn 1-4
• Call 0-1, 3BB

Rochester’s bats took the night off again as they were shut out, 3-0 on one (1) hit. Andrew Alvarez bounced back to toss five scoreless innings, with four hits and no walks allowed. He struck out two. Adonis Medina gave up the first RailRiders run on three hits over an inning and 2/3rds, which tagged him with his first loss of the season. Travis Blankenhorn broke up the no-hitter with a single in the 4th while Alex Call drew three of the eight walks issued by Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Roster moves: IF Trey Lipscomb recalled to Washington.

Harrisburg 4 Bowie 0
• Lord (W, 7-1) 7IP, 2H, 0R, 2BB, 10K
• Sinclair 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Crews 2-4, R, 2B(10), 2RBI
• House 1-4, R, HR(10), 2RBI

For the sake of Senators, let’s hope Brad Lord can be kept down long enough to secure a playoff spot. But eight straight quality starts (one more than the Red Wings in 63 GS) begs the question: Who’s blocking him at AAA? Lord and two relievers combined to shut out the BaySox, 4-0 on four hits, one walk, and 12 whiffs. Dylan Crews and Brady House both went 2-for-4 with two RBI, with Crews collecting his 10th double and House hitting his 10th HR, to power the Harrisburg offense. Roster moves: OF Terone Harris reassigned from Wilmington; OF Robert Hassell placed on the 7-Day I.L.

Wilmington 7 Jersey Shore 2
• Theophile (W, 2-4) 6IP, 1H, 0R, 3BB, 6K
• Brzykcy 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Glasser 2-5, R, RBI
• V. Peña 1-5, R, 3B, 3RBI
• De La Rosa 1-4, R, 2B, 3K

The wheels came off in the 7th for the bullpen, capped by a three-run triple and five runs let in. But that was the Jersey Shore ‘pen and the Wilmington offense as the Blue Rocks boiled the BlueClaws, 7-2. Rodney Theohpile turned in his first quality start of ’24, shutting out Jersey Shore for six frames on one hit and three walks while striking out six. Phillip Glasser extended his hit streak to five games with two singles; Viandel Peña hit the aforementioned triple; Jeremy De La Rosa doubled once and struck out three times to highlight the Wilmington offense. Roster moves: RHP Richard Guasch activated from the 7-Day I.L.

Carolina 7 Fredericksburg 2
• Shuman 3IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• B. Sanchez (L, 0-3) 2IP, 7H, 4R, 4ER, 1BB, 1K, BK
• Peoples 1-2, R, HR, RBI
• McKenzie 1-3, BB

The FredNats are now just game above .500 and a game out of 5th place after their third straight loss, 7-2 to the Mudcats. Seth Shuman started and shut down the MudCast for three innings on two hits without a walk and two whiffs. Bryan Sanchez was the first Fredricksburg reliever and took the loss, coughing up four on seven hits over two innings. He walked one and struck out one. Nick “Power to the” Peoples went deep with a solo HR in his Low-A debut while Jared McKenzie and Roismar Quintana both reached base twice on a single and a walk to lead the FredNats attack.
