Wednesday’s News & Notes

Scranton/Wilkes Barre 7 Rochester 6 (10 inn.)
• Rogers 3⅔ IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 1K, 2HR
• Goody (BS, 5; L, 4-3) ⅓ IP, 1H, 3R, 2ER, 2BB, 1K
• A. Sanchez 3-5, 2R, 2B, 2HR, 4RBI
• Dietrich 3-4, R
• Arteaga 2-4

With some “help” from Jake Noll doing his best imitation of Josh Harrison in LF, and a pair of walks from Nick Goody, Rochester saw a two-run lead turn into a walk-off loss in 10 innings, 7-6. It was the second blown-save-loss in less than a week for the journeyman reliever, who retired just one of four batters faced. Adrian Sanchez would have been the game’s hero for a two-run HR, his second of the night, that gave the Red Wings a 6-4 lead in the top of the 10th. Rochester had rallied twice to tie it at 3-3 in the 5th and 4-4 in the 9th. Josh Rogers, another in-season replacement, got the start and was knocked from the box in the 4th with three runs allowed six hits (two HR) and two walks. Roster moves: LHP Matt Tomshaw assigned from Washington (MLFA); RHPs Aaron Barrett, Javy Guerra reassigned from Harrisburg; IF Carter Kieboom activated from 7-Day I.L..

Portland 6 Harrisburg 3
• Cate (L, 2-3) 5+ IP, 3H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 4K
• J. Romero (BS, 1) 1IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 0BB, 1K, 2-2 IR-S
• Corredor 2-4, 2B, HR, 2RBI, E(4)
• Harrison 2-4, PB(2)

Aldrem Corredor’s two-run HR to give the Senators a two-run lead in the top of the 6th disappeared in the bottom of the inning as the Sea Dogs answered with five runs en route to a 6-3 win in the series opener. Tim Cate left with a 2-1 lead but two runners on and nobody out after throwing five-plus innings, with three hits and two walks allowed and four strikeouts. The 23-y.o. southpaw lost for the third time when Jhon Romero let in both inherited runners while giving two runs of his own for the blown save. Corredor also doubled to go 2-for-4, a mark matched by K.J. Harrison as the two combined for four of the eight Harrisburg hits. Roster moves: OF Ramon Flores released; LHP Seth Romero MiLB rehab ended at Fredericksburg, activated from 7-Day I.L., reassigned from Rochester; RHP Jackson Tetreault MiLB rehab ended at Wilmington, activated from 7-Day I.L..; RHP Ryan Tapani activated from 7-Day I.L.

Brooklyn 8 Wilmington 6
• E. Lee (L, 1-3) 2⅔ IP, 3H, 5R, 5ER, BB, 2K, HR, HBP

• Upshaw 2-4, R, 2B, 3B, RBI
• Daily 1-3, 2R, BB
• Connell 1-4, 2RBI

Wilmington kept with Tuesday’s theme of big innings… on defense, as Brooklyn erased a 4-0 lead with five in the bottom of the third as they held on for an 8-6 win, the fourth straight loss for the Blue Rocks. Evan Lee lost for the third time as he was spun by the Cyclones for five runs on three hits (one HR), a walk, and a hit batsman over two and 2/3rds innings. Armond Upshaw tripled, doubled, scored a run, and drove in a run to lead Wilmington’s eight-hit, seven-walk attack. Roster moves: LHP Ike Schlabach reassigned from Harrisburg.

Salem 4 Fredericksburg 3
• Cuevas 4⅓ IP, 6H, 3R, 2ER, 1BB, 1K, 3WP, BK, E(2)
• Chu 2⅔ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K, 2-0 IR-S
• Urena (L, 0-1) ⅔ IP, 2H, R, ER, 2IBB, 1K, E(1)
• Méndez 3-5, RBI
• Randa 2-4, RBI

The F-Nats loaded the bases intentionally with one out in the 9th in hopes of preserving a 3-3 tie. Edward Urena, whose error put a runner on third with nobody out, got the strikeout for the second out but then let in the game-winner on a single for the 4-3 loss to the S-Sox. Michael Cuevas got the start and let in the first three runs on six hits and a walk over four and 1/3rd innings. Ricardo Méndez singled three times to push his hit streak to 17 games and lead Fredericksubrg’s 12-hit parade, followed by Joe Randa (2-for-4) and Junior Martina (2-for-5). Roster moves: RHP Jackson Rutledge MiLB ehab ended at FCL, activated from 7-Day I.L., reassigned from Wilmington; OF Zach Cornell reassigned from FCL.
