Brooklyn Cyclones Drop Second Straight at Asheville

From the desk: THE CONEY ISLAND NINE

THE DEFENDING 2019 NYPL CHAMPIONS
Asheville leads Brooklyn; 2-1
I - BKN 8; ASH 2

Long Ball: Advantage Tourists

Brooklyn pitchers receive no quarter, as the Asheville Tourists score early and often en route to a commanding 11-4 victory in game three of their season-opening series at historic McCormick Field.  Starter Oscar Rojas is knocked out of the box in the third upon yielding seven earned runs on five hits and two walks.  Tourists' second baseman Luis Santana homers off Rojas in the first and again in the third.  In relief of Rojas, right-hander Nick McDonald surrenders another three runs, two earned, on five hits over two innings.  Brooklyn's returning left fielder Antoine Duplantis connected on Brooklyn's third home run in as many games.  In the role of the designated hitter, Brett Baty goes 2 for 3 with a double and run batted in.  First baseman Joe Genord and right fielder Matt Winaker each drive in a run apiece.
