• Weimer 1-3, BB

The Red Wings sent ten men the plate in the top of the 9th and turned a 3-2 nailbiter into a 7-3 – their fourth straight. The late rally took Andry Lara off the hook for digging a 3-0 hole on five hits and four walks over the first three and a 1/3rd innings. Zak Kent got the win, his fifth, as the pitcher of record with a scoreless 8th. Abimelec Ortiz walked twice, doubled twice, and drove in three while Max Romero Jr. singled twice and drove in two to power the Rochester offense. Roster moves: RHP Eddy Yean recalled to Washington; RHP Andry Lara activated from the Development List; 1B-3B Yoyo Morales placed on the 7-Day I.L.; LHP Jared Simpson reassigned from Harrisburg.

• Fitz-Gerald 2-3, R, BB, 2B
• Boissiere 2-4, 2B

Reading took the opener with a pair of two-spots in a 4-1 win over Harrisburg. Thomas Schultz opened the game and let in two runs on two hits over… wait for it… two innings to take the loss, his fourth. Devin Fitz-Gerald and Branden Boissiere both had a single and a double while the rest of the lineup went 2-for-24 with nine strikeouts. Roster moves: RHP Yoel Tejeda Jr. promoted from Wilmington; OF Leandro Pineda activated from the Developmental List.

Hudson Valley vs. Wilmington – PPD

Fredericksburg’s slide was extended to four games with a rain-shortened 7-0 shutout. Adam Bogosian opened the game and coughed up the lead with a homer with two outs in the 1st. That would be enough to give him the loss between Xander Meckley giving up five runs over the next four innings and the FredNats hitters mustering three hits. Brady Cerkownyk singled and doubled while Juan Cruz singled and walked. Roster moves: RHP Cesar Rojas activated from the 7-day I.L.; RHP Ike Buxton released; RHPs Adam Bogosian, Leodarlyn Colon, LHP Juan Reyes reassigned from the FCL.
