SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE RAILRIDERS GAME REPORTRochester 6 - Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 1
Early offense sets tone for Red Wings in Wednesday night victory
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ROCHESTER, NY (July 31, 2019) – With a four-run first inning, the Rochester Red Wings opened this two-game series at home with a decisive statement which they used to a 6-1 victory Wednesday night over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.
Deivi Garcia (1-2, 6.63) took the ball for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders in his fourth career Triple-A start walked a pair of batters in the frame, while surrendering two doubles and a homer. The two-run homer by Alejandro De Aza came off a pitcher who was three-years old when De Aza made his professional debut in 2002.
Wilin Rosario, whose two-run double was part of the first inning offense, homered in the third inning to grow the lead to 5-0 before the RailRiders scored in the top of the fourth.
The fourth inning featured the RailRiders’ lone run of the game. With Thairo Estrada leading off the frame, he jolted a ball to the right-centerfield gap that glanced off the mitt of the racing right fielder Alejandro De Aza. The play was ultimately ruled a three-base error and set up the RailRiders for a run later on a wild pitch.
Other offensive bright spots for the RailRiders were Clint Frazier who finished 2-for-4 with a pair of single, and Wendell Rijo who similarly finished 2-for-4. Those two bats accounted for four of the six total hits picked up by the RailRiders in the game.
Neither team scored after the fourth inning, using matching zeros from the bullpens to work the game to its completion in 2:22 before a massive Wednesday-night crowd of 12,248.
The RailRiders and RedWings conclude their brief two-game series Thursday with a 12:35 p.m. first pitch at Frontier Field. SWB sends LHP Daniel Camarena (4-6, 6.21) to the mound as the RailRiders look to split the series. Pregame coverage with Adam Marco and Adam Giardino begins at 12:05 p.m. on the RailRiders Radio Network.
