Brooklyn Wins a Season-High Fifth Straight Over Blue Rocks
The Cyclones win their fifth straight against the Wilmington Blue Rocks. With runners on the corners in the second, Francisco Alvarez scores the game's first run on a groundball to second. In just his second game with Brooklyn, catcher Nic Gaddis then lines a home run to left field, scoring two.
Brooklyn's defense yields a rather amateurish run in the top of the third. Then with the bases loaded in the bottom of the frame, first baseman Jeremy Vasquez clears the bases with a double giving the Cyclones a 6-1 lead.
Francisco Alvarez is hit with a pitch in the eighth and removed for a pinch-runner. With one out and two runners on base, Zach Ashford plates both runners with a double.
Reliever Bryce Montes de Oca allows two runs in the top of the ninth, but the Cyclones nevertheless close out their fifth straight victory over the Blue Rocks.
Starter Alec Kisena yields just one unearned run on two hits and two walks with five strikeouts through 4.2 innings pitched but exits to a no-decision. Right-hander Mitch Ragan earns the victory in relief, yielding no hits over 3.1 scoreless innings with three strikeouts.
