Greensboro Grasshoppers Notch First-Ever Victory Against Brooklyn Cyclones
Brooklyn got things going when Rowdey Jordan scored on an E-6 in the first. In the second, center fielder Jaylen Palmer scored on a fielder's choice, and Jose Peroza's two-run home run in the third staked starter Luis Moreno to a 4-1 lead after three. The score remained unchanged until the sixth, when Greensboro pulled within two. Making his sixth start with Brooklyn, Luis Moreno exited on the winning side after allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. The Grasshoppers tallied once against reliever Brendan Hardy in the seventh. Facing Justin Courtney in the top of the eighth, Grasshopper designated hitter Abraham Gutierrez struck the decisive blow, a three-run home run to left/center. Second baseman Nic Gaddis tripled and scored on a wild pitch in the ninth, but the Cyclones would tally no more. Luis Moreno escaped with a no-decision while Justin Courtney blew the save and took the loss. BOXSCORE
