SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE RAILRIDERS GAME REPORT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Worcester 2 Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 1 MOOSIC, Pa. (August 7, 2021) – Three Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders pitchers combined to strike out 14 Worcester Red Sox batters in a 2-1 loss on Saturday night at PNC Field. Going up against seven-time American League All-Star and MLB rehabber Chris Sale, RailRiders opener Brian Keller turned one of his best outings of the season. He tossed 3.0 scoreless innings, scattering three hits while striking out five and not allowing a walk. He was followed by Sean Boyle, making his Triple-A debut. Boyle turned in 4.0 scoreless frames, allowing four hits, striking out five and walking one. Before this year, the right-hander had never pitched in full season ball, and this season had only seven appearances above Low-A. The RailRiders offense sputtered against the Red Sox, garnering just two hits against Sale – a double by Thomas Milone and an Andrew Velazquez triple – and nothing else until the ninth inning. In the top of the ninth, Adam Warren (3-2) allowed a two-run home run to Tate Matheny after a 10-pitch battle to finally break the scoreless deadlock. Donny Sands led off the bottom of the ninth with a double against Zack Kelly, and scored on an Armando Alvarez groundout to cut the deficit to 2-1. However, Kelly settled down to retire the side and seal his first save of the season. SWB completes its series with Worcester on Sunday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. The RailRiders send LHP Matt Krook (2-3, 4.97) to the mound, while the Red Sox counter with RHP Kutter Crawford (1-1, 3.27).
