TRIPLE A

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (65-71) lose to Rochester Red Wings (73-64) 5-4

Zach Nuding started and went five innings, allowing just one run on six hits. He struck out three and walked a pair. The solo home run he allowed in the second inning was the only blemish on his line. Chase Whitley came in to relieve Nuding and pitched two innings without giving up a run. Nick Rumbelow came in to pitch the eighth and the flood gates opened. he allowed four runs on four hits and a walk in just a third of an inning. offensively, Ramon Flores carried the team Sunday. His two number two homers and three RBI out of the number two spot were the majority of the RailRiders offense. The long balls were Flores’ sixth and seventh of the season. Jose Pirela and Rob Refsnyder each picked up two hits and their averages now sit at .308 and .307, respectively. Both playes are candidates for a call to the big leagues next month. Kyle Roller also had a pair of hits, on a day the SWB had fourteen base runners, but a lack of timely hitting meant they could only plate four runs.

Bryan Mitchell (4-2, 4.15 ERA) will be on the mound for the RailRiders Monday when they look to earn a split of the four game series against the Red Wings. Alex Meyer (6-6, 3.43 ERA) gets the nod for Rochester. First pitch from Frontier Field is set for 7:05.
