SYRACUSE 18, BUFFALO 0 (BOX)

Syracuse unleashed a thumping on Buffalo, as Gilberto Celestino and Drew Gilbert provided the 1-2 punch, collecting four RBI apiece.

Brandon Sproat earned his third win of the season with six scoreless innings in which he struck out four batters. Max Kranick also contributed 1 2⁄3 scoreless innings in relief with three strikeouts.

SOMERSET 10, BINGHAMTON 4 (BOX)

More important than the outcome of the game is the well being of Jett Williams, who was hit in the head with a 98 mph fastball in last night’s game. He walked off the field under his own power, but did have to leave the game. Williams is having a strong first season in Double-A and it would be a shame if it is disrupted by this incident.

WILMINGTON 8, BROOKLYN 2 (BOX)

A welcome sight: Sean Manaea began a rehab assignment last night with Brooklyn. Manaea was roughed up for four runs (three of them earned) in 1 2⁄3 innings of work in the Cyclones’ defeat at the hands of the Blue Rocks, but the important thing is that Manaea is throwing a baseball in an actual game. Will Watson also got knocked around for three runs on ten hits in four innings of long relief, but he did strike out eight batters.

DUNEDIN 4, ST. LUCIE 0 (BOX)

It was a clunker for St. Lucie, who managed just three hits all evening, but the pitching staff dazzled with an impressive number of strikeouts. In particular, Ernesto Mercedes struck out six batters in just 2 2⁄3 innings and Frank Elissalt whiffed seven in 3 1⁄3 innings of work.
