Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release


Pawtucket, R.I. - Kyle Davies (6-6) and two relievers combined on a five-hitter as the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees) shut out the Pawtucket Red Sox (Boston Red Sox) at McCoy Stadium on Friday night, 4-0. SWB (45-37) swept the short two-game set with its 12th straight win at McCoy Stadium. Pawtucket (38-45) fell to a season-worst seven games under .500.

The RailRiders got the only run they needed in the second inning when Juan Graterol's groundout to second plated Austin Romine from third base. They added two more runs against starter Joe Kelly (0-1) in the seventh on a Rob Segedin RBI single and a sac fly from Graterol.

Davies authored six innings of four-hit baseball before handing the baton the Chris Martin and Branden Pinder. Martin tossed two perfect frames and Pinder logged a scoreless ninth.

Cole Figueroa added insurance with a ninth-inning home run off of Dalier Hinojosa.
