Darnell, Santana Lead Wings to Win
August 29, 2015 - International League (IL1) - Rochester Red Wings News Release
Logan Darnell won his third straight start Saturday night.
Logan Darnell surrendered one run over 8.0 innings and Danny Santana homered in each of his first two at-bats as the Rochester Red Wings knocked off the Pawtucket Red Sox 5-1 Saturday night at Frontier Field.
The final homestand of the 2015 season continues Sunday at 1:35 p.m, with the Red Wings Tent Sale, a Red Wings cap giveaway, a Knot Hole Kids' Club game, and kids can run the bases with Spikes and Mittsy after the game. Complete promotion details below...
Darnell (5-1) ran his scoreless stretch to 15.0 straight innings and 21.1 without an earned run allowed before the PawSox (54-81) plated a run in the sixth on Carlos Rivero's RBI double. Darnell's ERA as a starter this season is at 1.02 in six starts. He fanned eight batters one start after throwing a five-hit complete game shutout with nine strikeouts on Monday in Syracuse.
The Red Wings (70-65) jumped out early as Santana hit his first Triple-A home run to open the game against Pawtucket starter Edwin Escobar (2-3). In his next at-bat in the third inning, Santana also homered. He had played 49 Triple-A games and had 211 at-bats without hitting a home run with Rochester before tonight.
With the help of Santana, the Red Wings led 2-0 and added three more in the fourth. James Beresford singled home two runs with the bases loaded and Reynaldo Rodriguez added a sacrifice fly to extend the Rochester lead to 5-0.
Santana finished with half of the Red Wings six hits in five at-bats with two homers, two RBI and three runs scored. He has multiple hits in his last four games. Michael Tonkin tossed a scoreless ninth and has worked 9.2 straight scoreless innings with the Red Wings.
