Pawtucket Red Sox News Release
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Chad De La Guerra and Chris Owings combined for five hits, but the Pawtucket Red Sox fell to the Syracuse Mets, 6-3, on Wednesday night at NBT Bank Stadium.
The PawSox (31-45) scored two runs in the top of the sixth inning to snatch a 2-1 lead, but Syracuse (38-40) tied the game in the home half of the sixth and scored four runs in the seventh to vault in front in the opener of the brief two-game series.
In his sixth game with the PawSox, Chris Owings went 3-for-4 with an RBI single that gave Pawtucket the lead in the top of the sixth inning. The longtime big leaguer now has tallied seven hits in his last four games. De La Guerra, meanwhile, went 2-for-4 with a solo homer off the batter's eye in the sixth. The 26-year-old upped his OPS to .991 and now has cracked all eight of his homers in his last 21 games.
Tzu-Wei Lin (knee, shoulder), who was slated to start another rehab assignment with the PawSox last night before the game was rained out, played five innings at second base and went 1-for-3 with a first-inning single.
Tyler Thornburg fired a scoreless eighth inning and struck out the first man he saw with a 95 MPH fastball.
PawSox starter Erasmo RamÃrez (L, 2-4) allowed three runs in 6.1 innings.
Syracuse starter Harol González allowed two runs in 5.2 innings, while reliever Daniel Zamora (W, 1-0) retired all four batters he faced.
Tim Tebow delivered a go-ahead, two-run double in the seventh inning that put the Mets in front, 4-2.
