Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release

MOOSIC, PA -The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (43-45) blanked the Louisville Bats 9-0 on Friday evening. Domingo Germán pitched six shutout innings in the second start of his rehab assignment with the RailRiders.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre took the game's first lead in the third. After Phillip Evans and Rob Brantly started the frame with back-to-back singles, three straight two-out walks of Oswaldo Cabrera, Jake Bauers and Josh Breaux gave the RailRiders a 3-0 advantage. Evans and Brantly combined to go 4-for-6 with two walks and four runs scored out of the seven and eight spots in the lineup.

Meanwhile, Germán cruised through the fifth appearance of his Minor League rehab assignment. The 29-year-old right-hander logged six scoreless innings with one strikeout on just 65 pitches. In total, Germán has allowed one run over 20.1 frames (0.44 ERA) across those five games as he works back from a right shoulder injury.

The RailRiders then padded their lead with a five-spot in the sixth. Evans and Brantly got things going once again with a walk and single, respectively. Then another two-out rally ensued. Estevan Florial and Tim Locastro each delivered RBI singles to make it 5-0. That was followed by a three-run home run from Oswaldo Cabera to break the game open at 8-0. Cabrera has two home runs and six RBI in three games in this series.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre scored one more in the eighth while José Mujica and Jimmy Cordero combined to pitch three scoreless innings out of the RailRiders' bullpen in the 9-0 final. Germán (1-0) earned his first win for SWB this season. TJ Zeuch (0-5) suffered the loss for Louisville.

The two teams continue their six-game series on Saturday with first pitch at 6:05 PM. Jhony Brito (4-1, 2.54 ERA) takes the mound for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. It's the second Copa de la Diversión night of the season as the RailRiders will play as the Vejigantes, presented by La Tolteca. There will also be postgame fireworks.
