Andrew Alvarez was unable to work with a 4-0 lead as he gave up five runs for the second straight start. He gave up seven hits (two HR), walked one, and struck out eight over five and 2/3rds. The bats and bullpen bailed him out, with the former scoring twice in the bottom of the 6th and three relievers combining for three and a 1/3rd scoreless in a 7-5 Rochester win over Worcester. Trevor Gott earned the win while Eddie Yean struck out two in a 1-2-3 ninth for the save. Yoyo Morales and Andrés Chapparro both homered to lead a Red Wings offense that was nearly prefect, going 2-for-2 with RISP and leaving on one baserunner. Roster moves: .
Akron 4 Harrisburg 3

Kyle Luckham had a perfect game through five, a one-hitter through six, and a 3-0 shutout with two down in the 7th when he was lifted from the game. One inning later, the RubberDucks dropped a toaster in the bathtub on Sandy Gaston with a grand slam to win 4-3. Luckham allowed two hits, no walks, and struck out eight in the no-decision. Gaston got the blown-save-loss with all four Akron runs let in on three hits and a walk. Sam Brown reached base four times on a single and three walks while Johnathon Thomas connected for the Sens’ sole extra-base hit out of six total.

A seven-game winning streak came to an end Last Night in Fredericksburg.
Todd you called it in your last about Portorreal getting the next demotion at Fred
Your guessing in your blog remind s me of the old Bob Barker Price is right game
High or low
Boatman’s up or down !
I just heard at work jet blue is buying spirit planes
Maybe the Lerner family could buy an airbus 321 for the Rochester shuttle and the young Turks “ yo – yo “ roster manipulation
I sure would love to hear Rockford
Ice hogs radio voice Dana Grey call Nats games
Just putting that out in the universe .
It’s all about the O!
Overstovk and Nats bullpen ! lol
Welcome back , kid .

Did anyone watch Reggie Wllits charges take in UF Gators and Liam Peterson Saturday .

Isaac Lyon, the oft forgotten throw in to the Ford-Ferrer swap, has been quietly very effective so far. I didn’t catch him getting promoted to Wilmington, AND getting added to the rotation there after throwing in relief in Fburg, but his ERA is down to 2.08 in 3 starts now. Imagine if Lyon ended up being the real piece of the Ferrer trade!
Zak Kent claimed and optioned to ROC
Two Kents on Rochester soon ?
Lyon was more than just a toss in with pedigree by the “ Young Turks “!
Much like the additions to FCL after several 60 day DLs
Plenty of Monday morning arm chair GM / Player development
Opinions since so many used to lodge at the old Holiday Inn Express chain
Luke – like the Snarkle ?
It’s fascinating to see Kyle Luckham’s dominance in the seventh inning before the heartbreaking loss for the Senators, especially with the scoring dropping so late. Meanwhile, the Red Wings’ offense was nearly flawless against Worcester, but I’m curious to see how Andrew Alvarez bounces back after giving up back-to-back strong starts. The relief corps really stepped up for Rochester, but the bullpen struggles in Harrisburg are definitely something the coaching staff will need to address soon.
Seems like maybe Alvarez didn’t take the demotion from the majors well. Especially given his start. Seems to happen in AAA.
