Lehigh Valley 4 Rochester 3TB
• Verrett 7IP, 6H, 1R, 1ER, 2BB, 6K
• Avilán (BS, 2) ⅓ IP, 2H, 2R, 2ER, 0BB, 0K, HR
• Minaya (L, 0-1) 1⅓ IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 1K, HR
• Fox 2-4, 2R
• Nogowski 1-4, 2B(15), 3RBI

Lehigh Valley homered twice in the 8th to erase a 3-1 deficit and end Rochester’s five-game winning streak with a 4-3 win. Logan Verrett’s seven innings of one-run ball went for naught as Luis Avilán coughed up a two-run HR to tie it and Juan Minaya gave up a solo shot to the very next batter to lose it. Lucius Fox was the sole Red Wing to have multiple hits while John Nogowskit drove in all three runs with a groundout in the 1st and a two-run double in the 3rd.

New Hampshire 5 Harrisburg 1
• Cate 6IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 10K, HR
• Peguero (L, 2-7) ⅓ IP, 2H, 3R, 3ER, 1BB, 0K
• Teel ⅔ IP, 1H, 1R, 0ER, IBB, 2K, 2-2 IR-S
• W. Garcia 1-4, 2B
• Harris 1-4

The Fisher Cats broke a 1-1 tie with a four-run 8th inning to hand the Senators their eighth loss over the last nine games, 5-1. Tim Cate struck out ten while turning in his sixth quality start, allowing a run on a home run and two hits total, and did not walk a batter. His final start as a 24-y.o. would be a no-decision. Francys Peguero retired just one of four batters faced, giving up two hits and a walk to the others for his seventh loss. Wilson Garcia doubled while Trey Harris and Darren Baker both singled. The resort of the lineup went 0-for-20 with a walk and nine strikeouts.

8 Commments

  1. in years past Logan Verrett might have gotten a callup when injuries created the opening. now with a rebuilding mentality Lee, Tetreault and Abbott got their shots.

    1. It’s hard to believe that Harrisburg won as many games as they have with 4 starters owning OPS’s in the 500’s. Just brutal.

      Looking to see how Murphy is stretched out today. He’s had 7 starts since they transitioned him and 6 have been good to very good with 4 innings his max so far.

      1. By this time next year , Mark L, the Greek chorus will be singing the praises of the balanced roster of pitching and hitting in HRB.

        1. Alou2Alu – Jeff, is that you? Haven’t been here in awhile and that handle is clever enough only to be you. All Time Classic name ::)

    2. Fred MD
      Verrett may just fall under the 4 A er category but him , Herrera and Palacios were nice winter signings
      Jose ends up being more athletic
      Than first thought of.
