NOTES
Buffalo made five errors leading to three unearned runs for Rochester, coincidentally the losing margin. Adam Kloffenstein gave up four runs, two earned, in five innings. Devereaux Harrison made his AAA debut out of the bullpen and he should have ended two innings with one run allowed, but a Clase error made it two runs allowed.
The Bisons hit three home runs, Michael Stefanic, Orelvis Martinez and Josh Rivera. Alan Roden was 2-5.
New Hampshire also had three home runs. In the eight run, trailing 2-1, Devonte Brown homered to tie the game. Then in the ninth Charles McAdoo and Cade Doughty went back to back to give NH a 4-2 lead and that was the final score.
Juaron Watts Brown went five innings with six K's. He was charged with one run on four hits. McAdoo has been hot, he hit .293 in June and is hitting .350 in five July games.
Vancouver had to face a switch pitcher. It didn't work for Everett in the first inning when Arjun Nimmala doubled in Sean Keys. It also didn't work in the third when Cutter Coffey hit a two run home run. And that was the final score.
Khal Stephen dominated. Six innings, two hits, one walk, six K's. Javen Coleman added two innings with no hits but he did walk three. Yondrei Rojas pitched the ninth with one hit and that made for a combined three hitter. This week I learned, thanks to #2JBrumfield's interview, that Khal has two brothers Khade and Khayne. I wonder whats behind the KH family naming system.
Nimmala was 2-5 and Eddie Micheletti Jr was 2-3 with a walk.
Just four hits for the FCL Jays. Luis Quinones who has been on the IL all season, pitched one inning at the start of his rehab.
