Luke Young recovered from his trip from the Harrisburg roster to notch his fifth hold.

Wilmington once again flirted with a no-hitter until Angel Feliz’s one-out single in 7th. The Blue Rocks ended the shutout with Kevin Bazzell’s RBI single in the 8th in a 3-1 loss to Brooklyn. Yoel Tejeda Jr. lost for the sixth time as he gave up three runs on five hits and a walk whils striking out nine. Miguel Villaroel rounded out the Blue Rocks’ hit column with a single.

It appears they picked up where they left off on Monday and then canceled the originally scheduled game. It’s SSDD today, but it’s not entirely clear where the game will be played. The FCL Cardinals held serve and doubled up the FCL Nationals, 8-4. Maximin Medina took the loss, with five runs let in on six hits and a walk over an inning and 2/3rds. Landon Harmon emerged from witness protection to get five outs and give up a run on two hits. Browm Martinez singled, homered and drove in three while Brayan Cortesia went 2-for-4 with a run scored to pace the F-Nats attack.

Anyel Manzueta was nocked from the box after three runs (two earned) on five hits (one HR) and a walk while striking out five to lower his ERA to 11.
