Manchester, N.H. - The New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Blue Jays Double-A affiliate) took a 7-4 loss to the Akron RubberDucks (Cleveland Indians) on Thursday night at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

Triston McKenzie (W, 1-0), the No. 21 prospect in baseball according to MLB.com, held the Fisher Cats to one hit over five innings in his Double-A debut.

Harold Ramirez crushed his second homer of the season to the left of the batter's eye in center field in the bottom of the sixth inning, but New Hampshire's couldn't climb out of a 7-1 hole.

The Fisher Cats rallied for three runs in the bottom of the eighth with the help of three walks, a hit batter, a wild pitch, and an RBI single from Connor Panas, but Ka'ai Tom threw out Juan Kelly at the plate to end the rally and keep the score 7-4.
