Green Whiffs Nine as RailRiders Blank Pawtucket
Rob Refsnyder Extends Hitting Streak to 13 Games
Moosic, Pa. – The SWB RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees) scored their fourth shutout win on Monday night in a 6-0 triumph
over the Pawtucket Red Sox. The RailRiders (17-15) improved to 4-0 against the Red Sox (14-17) on the year.
Chad Green
(2-3) held Pawtucket to four hits across six
scoreless innings. He tied his Triple-A career-best with nine strikeouts
while issuing one walk. Brian Johnson (1-3) shouldered the loss,
allowing five runs on
nine hits in seven innings of work.
SWB jumped out 2-0 in the first inning on doubles by
Donovan Solano,
Rob Refsnyder and Slade Heathcott. The two-baser by Refsnyder extended his season-best hitting streak to 13 games.
Cesar Puello
and
Deibinson Romero worked consecutive walks off Johnson to set the table in the fourth.
Pete Kozma drilled a single into left field and Puello
raced home for a 3-0 lead. Romero advanced to third on the hit and
Solano drove him in with a sacrifice fly to center.
Aaron Judge
launched a long home run to left-center in the
seventh inning to push the advantage to 5-0. It was his second home run
in as many days and fifth in nine games. He leads the team with seven
for the year.
Heathcott opened the eighth with a single off reliever Roman Mendez.
Nick Swisher followed with a base hit, advancing
Heathcott to third. Romero stroked a liner into left field that was
caught by Bryce Brentz. Heathcott broke home on the fly out. The throw
from Brentz beat Heathcott
home, but a collision at the plate jarred the ball loose allowing the
run to score for the final tally.
Mark Montgomery
fired two perfect innings with four strikeouts in relief and
Tyler Webb completed the shutout with a scoreless ninth.
