Rochester 3 Omaha 2 (10 inn.)
• Rutledge 7IP, 2H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 9K, HR
• Ribalta (W, 4-1) 1IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 2K
• House 3-5, RBI
• Garrett 3-4, R, 2B

Brady House’s third single of the afternoon walked off the Storm Chasers as the Red Wings won their third straight game, 3-2 in 10 innings. Jackson Rutledge went seven full innings for the second time this season but nearly lost, having given up a two-run HR and two hits total while issuing two walks and striking out a season-best of nine. José Tena’s first hit as a Red Wing was an RBI single to get Rochester on the board in the 7th. An inning later, Stone Garrett doubled and scored on a two-out single by Jack Dunn to force extras. In the 10th, Orlando Ribalta had the misfortune to give up a leadoff single but the fortune of having the Omaha catcher as the free runner, who could only move up 90′ on the hit. Ribalta struck out the next two, issued a walk, and got flyball to end the threat. Jake Alu ran for Joey Meneses and scored on the House safety to make Ribalta the winning pitcher.

Akron 6 Harrisburg 3
• Solesky 6⅓ IP, 6H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 2K, HR
• Powell (BS, 2; L, 2-5) ⅔ IP, 1H, 3R, 0ER, 2BB, 1K, 2WP
• Made 2-4, R, 2B
• Pinckney 1-4, R, HR, 2RBI

Akron took advantage of two walks and two errors to scored three unearned runs with two outs in the 7th in a 6-3 win over Harrisburg. Two wild pitches from losing pitcher Holden Powell didn’t help either, who gave up a double and struck out one in the fateful frame. The meltdown turned a might-have-been win into another no-decision, albeit a quality start of two runs allowed on a home run and six hits total over six and a 1/3rd innings. He walked one and struck out two. All three Sens runs came on the longball with Andrew Pinckney hitting a two-run shot in the 1st and Paul Witt going yard in the 2nd. It was the sixth HR for both players.



Greenville 12 Wilmington 0
• Davis (L, 0-1) 3IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 4K
• Cáceres ⅔ IP, 5H, 5R, 5ER, 1BB, 1K, HR
• McKenzie 1-4, 2B
• Naranjo 1-3

The Blue Rocks were shut out for the 11th time this season on three hits as they were run over by the Drive, 12-0. Marc Davis took the loss in his High-A debut, allowing the first two runs on three hits and a walk over three innings. Bryan Cáceres didn’t make it out the 4th as Greenville lit him up for five runs on five hits (one HR) as he was lifted after 35 pitches. Jared McKenzie had the sole extra-base hit, a double in the 4th, while Joe Naranjo and Gavin Dugas added singles to round out the Wilmington barrage. Roster moves: RHP Tyler Schoff assigned from Harrisburg for MiLB rehab.

Lynchburg 7 Fredericksburg 3
• Tepper (L, 1-1) 3IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 0BB, 1K
• Roman 2IP, 7H, 5R, 4ER, 1BB, 4K
• Green 2-4, R, 2B(10), HR(10), 2RBI, 0K
• Rombach 2-4, 2K

Fredericksburg fell for the fifth time in its last five games against Lynchburg, 7-3. Mikey Tepper went the first three, giving up two runs on four hits, no walks, and one whiff, which was enough to take the loss. Angel Roman’s Low-A debut was a rough one: five runs over two innings on seven hits and a walk. Elijah Green didn’t strike out for the seventh time this season, launching his tenth HR in the 1st and his tenth double in the 3rd. In those seven games, Green is 13-for-28 with three doubles, four HR, and four walks.

DSL Nationals 3 DSL Arizona Red 2
• Thomas 3IP, 1H, 0R, 2BB, 2K, WP
• J. Sanchez (W, 3-1) 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• A. Feliz 1-2, 3R, 2BB, 3SB(21), 2E(14)
• Liriano 1-2, BB, RBI

The DSL Nationals got single runs in the 1st, 5th, and 7th to slip past Arizona Red, 3-2 for their third straight win. Starter Jhoan Thomas tossed three scoreless with one hit and two walks allowed while striking out two. The win went to Jose Sanchez with two perfect innings of relief. Angel Feliz reached base three times, stole three bases, scored all three D-Nats runs, and committed both errors.
