NOTES
Scranton dominated Buffalo. They hit five home runs, Buffalo had four hits. Lazaro Estrada gave up four of the home runs and was charged with nine runs total. Riley Tirotta had two of the four Bisons hits.
Eddinson Paulino hit a sac fly in the eleventh inning to give NH the win. The Fisher Cats had two home runs, Jevon Ward hit a solo shot, Charles McAdoo a three run bomb. McAdoo is having a big August, he is hitting just under .300 for the month with an OPS almost 1.000. It is probably too late for a AAA promotion but he should be there to start 2026. Ward and Jackson Hornung had two hits each.
Rafael Sanchez started and held Akron off the board through five but was charged with four runs in the sixth. Nate Garkow threw two shutout innings in relief. Its time to have a look at Garkow. Garkow started the season in Vancouver and was promoted based on striking out 32 hitters in 16.2 innings. His ERA was 7.56 and his WHIP was 1.86 but the Jays thought to promote him anyway. Garkow is 27, he wasn't drafted and spent a couple of years in Indy ball before the Jays picked him up last year. In NH Garkow has reduced the walks, 15 in 30 innings. But the K's are still there 48 in his 30 innings or over 14 per nine innings. His big pitch is a plus, plus change-up. He looks like he is ready for AAA next season.
Vancouver trailed 4-3 headed to the bottom of the ninth. Alexis Hernandez walked to start the inning, then Sean Keys hit a walk off home run, his 16th of the season. It was Keys second hit of the game. Earlier Hernandez hit a two run home run following a Carter Cunningham triple.
Jackson Wentworth started and gave up four runs. The C's trailed 4-0 before the come back started.
