MOOSIC, PA - Christian Arroyo singled and doubled in four plate appearances in the third game of his rehab assignment, but the Worcester Red Sox (25-26) dropped the series finale of their six-game series with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (25-26), falling by an 11-4 final from PNC Field on Sunday afternoon.

David Hamilton lined the first pitch of the game into the right-center field gap for a leadoff triple. Arroyo swung at the second pitch of the game and grounded out to second, scoring Hamilton and putting Worcester on top 1-0.

In three games, Arroyo has gone 4-for-10 with a double and a run.

The RailRiders scored four runs off Matt Dermody in the bottom of the first. Scranton's first run came on a wild pitch. Andres Chaparro also singled in a run, and two runs scored on a fielder's choice and an error.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barres plated a pair in the second. Josh Donaldson, playing his third game on a rehab assignment, doubled in a run. Later in the frame, Chaparro drove in another run with a sacrifice fly to give the RailRiders a 6-1 lead.

Worcester responded with three runs in the third, all coming with two outs. Wilyer Abreu ripped a single to right to plate Narciso Crook. Jorge Alfaro reached on a throwing error by Donaldson, and it allowed Arroyo to score. Bobby Dalbec drove in Abreu with a single to right to cut the deficit to 6-4.

Dalbec now has a 10-game hitting streak. In 12 games since returning to Triple-A, Dalbec is hitting .391 (18-for-46) with six homers and 15 RBIs.

Estevan Florial hit a two-run home run off Norwith Gudino in the home half of the third to extend Scranton's lead to 8-4.

Two more runs crossed the plate for the RailRiders in the fifth thanks to RBI singles from Carlos Narvaez and Jamie Westbrook.

Donaldson lifted a solo homer in the eighth to make it an 11-4 game.

The WooSox continue their two-week road trip on Tuesday with their first ever visit to Louisville to take on the Bats, the Triple-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds.
