(Pawtucket, RI) Zach Davies and the Norfolk Tides held the Pawtucket Red Sox in check for the second straight day at McCoy Stadium; their 6-1 win on Thursday afternoon at McCoy Stadium earned the Tides a series win and sent Pawtucket to its tenth loss in eleven games.
Davies held the PawSox off the board for six strong innings. As he navigated around five hits and a walk, the Tides cashed in on a pair of Pawtucket errors to score six runs.
In the third inning, after one Norfolk run had scored on a pair of hits and a walk off of PawSox starter Zeke Spruill, the righthander induced a comebacker. His throw was dropped by Marco Hernandez, which allowed Christian Walker to score from second. Sean Halton then lifted a sacrifice fly that made it a 3-0 Tides lead.
The PawSox had a single in six straight innings from the second to the seventh - three of which came off the bat of Quintin Berry - but did not score.
In the seventh inning, Robbie Scott came on in relief of Spruill. After a walk of Henry Urrutia, Rey Navarro singled to right. Walker then hit a fly to left field that clipped off the glove of Garin Cecchini, was scored an error and loaded the bases.. Dariel Alvarez then ripped the third of his four hits, a two-run single to right. Steve Clevenger's sacrifice fly to center capped the scoring.
Edwin Escobar pitched a perfect ninth inning for Pawtucket, and the PawSox offense went to work against Pedro Beato. Allen Craig led off the inning with a single; Marco Hernandez - who finished the day with two hits and a walk - then doubled to center. Jonathan Roof the looped a single into left that allowed the PawSox to avoid a second straight shutout.
The PawSox open a three-game series in Buffalo on Friday night at 7:05. The PawSox will send Jess Todd (3-5, 5.47) to the mound against Randy Wolf (7-1, 2.57). Radio coverage begins on WHJJ and online at 6:50.
