Rochester 11 Buffalo 2
• Watkins (W, 6-3) 5IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 7K, HR, WP
• LaSorsa 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Lipscomb 3-4, 2R, BB, 2B, HR, 2RBI
• Garrett 2-3, 2BB, RBI
• Millas 2-4, 2R, BB
• Call 1-3, R, 2BB, HR(10), 3RBI

Rochester broke open a 6-2 game with a five-run 8th for an 11-2 sportswriter’s win. Spenser Watkins won for the sixth time with five innings of two-run ball on four hits and two walks while striking out seven. Trey Lipscomb was the proverbial triple shy of the cycle as he went 3-for-4 with a double and HR while Stone Garrett reached base four times with two singles and two walks to lead the Red Wings’ 11-hit, 11-walk outburst. Roster moves: DH Joey Meneses optioned from Washington.

Altoona 1 Harrisburg 0
• Lara (L, 4-3) 6IP, 5H, 1R, 1ER, 2BB, 3K
• Acosta 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 4K
• Harris 2-3, BB
• Lile 1-4

The Senators’ offensive futility continued as they were shut out Forrest Gump pause again, 1-0. Andry Lara turned in his seventh quality start at AA but came away with his third loss, allowing the Curve run on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three. Daison Acosta added two perfect innings of relief with four whiffs, but that, along with $2, only gets him a coffee. Terone Harris was the sole Harrisburg batter to reach base more than once, as he collected two of the Sens’ five singles and one of the three walks drawn.

Jersey Shore 15 Wilmington 3
• L. Young (L, 2-9) 3IP, 10H, 8R, 7ER, 1BB, 1K, HR
• Collins 1⅔ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 4K
• White 1-3, R, BB, 2B, RBI
• Naranjo 1-3, R, BB, 2B(5)

Jersey Shore pounded Wilmington for ten runs before the Blue Rocks finally answered with two in the 7th. The BlueClaws responded with a five-spot en route to a 15-3 demolition. Luke Young lost for the ninth time, boiled for eight runs (seven earned) on ten hits (one HR) and a walk. He struck out one. T.J. White extended his hit streak to seven games with his ninth double and a drew a walk to lead the Blue Rocks response. Roster moves: RHP Jarlin Susana promoted from Fredericksburg.



Fredericksburg 7 Delmarva 2
• Davis (W, 2-2) 5IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 1BB, 4K, E
• Baldo 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• McHenry 2-5, 2R, 2HR, 3RBI
• Ochoa 2-4, R, BB, 2SB, CS
• Pimentel 2-5, 2K

Make that seven straight win for the FredNats as they winged the Shoerbirds, 7-2. Justin McHenry started the fireworks show early with a solo HR in the first and a two-run HR in the 3rd. That gave Marc Davis enough run support to win with five innings pitched, one run allowed on two hits and a walk, and four strikeouts. Nate Ochoa got off the interstate with two singles and a walk while stealing two bases. McHenry was the only batter not to whiff as the rest of the lineup kept the Delmarva infielders cool 17 times.

FCL Nationals 2 FCL Cardinals 1
• Portorreal 5IP, 0H, 1R, 0ER, 1BB, 6K, HBP
• Dowdell (W, 1-0) 2IP, 0H, 0R, 3BB, 2K
• R. Ramirez (SV, 2) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K, WP
• Rivero 1-3, R, BB, HR, RBI
• E. Ramirez 1-3, R, BB, 3B

The FCL Nationals flirted with a combined no-no for seven innings until the FCL Cardinals led off the bottom of the 8th with an infield single. Having taken the lead in the top of the 8th, the no-hitter wasn’t as important as holding the one-run lead. Reilin Ramirez did just that as he stranded that runner and retired the side in order in the 9th for his second save in a 2-1 win. That made a winner out of Kevin Dowdell, a 24-y.o. NDFA and MLFA who walked three over two innings but preserved the 1-1 tie. Starter Leuris Portorreal allowed the lone F-Cards run on a walk and an error in the third. He struck out six and hit a batter over five innings. Yoander Rivero walked and homered while Enmanuel Ramirez walked and tripled to power the the FCL Nationals offense.
Roster moves: C Ivan Murzi released; C Augustin Marcano reassigned from the DSL; UT Jake Alu assigned from Rochester for MiLB Rehab.

DSL Arizona Red 18 DSL Nationals 2
• Reynoso(L, 0-1) 3⅔ IP, 10H, 7R, 4ER, 1BB, 0K, HR, 2WP, BK
• Robles 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Obispo 1-3, 2RBI
• A. Feliz 1-2, BB, CS, E(9)

The D-Nats cordero’d around two hits and a wild pitch for a goose egg in the 1st. After that, it was all downhill as the D-AZ Red squad scord in every inning en route to an 18-2 bitch-slapping. Franniel Reynoso took the brunt of the assault, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and one walk over three and a 1/3rd innings. Angel Feliz singled and walked while Juan Obispo drove in both DSL Nationals runs in the 6th to lead the three-hit assault.
