The teams don't meet again until July 30th-August 4th for another six-game series in Harrisburg.

LAST TIME OUT: Despite multiple rallies, the Harrisburg Senators couldn't complete the comeback as they fell to the Akron RubberDucks 10-9 in 12 innings Friday night at FNB Field. Akron had jumped out to a 6-1 lead going into the bottom of the 7th inning, but the Senators rallied for three runs in the 7th and two in the 8th to tie the game 6-6 and send it to extras. In the 10th inning Akron once again took a lead with three runs to make it 9-6, but the Senators once again answered with three of their own in the bottom of the inning to keep the game alive. The Senators finally ran out of answers in the 12th inning as Akron's 10th run of the night would be the difference. In the top of the twelfth inning, Akron's Micael Ramírez singled to right field, scoring Alexfri Planez and putting Akron on top 10-9.

AMAZING ALVAREZ : Today's starting pitcher Andrew Alvarez has been solid at the top of the Sens' rotation. He leads the Senators' pitching staff with 42 strikeouts. Opponents are batting .221 against him, the best mark among qualified Senators' starting pitchers, and his ERA of 3.51 is second-best among qualified members of the rotation.

HOME SECURITY : Brady House has stepped up as the most reliable defensive infielder for the Senators as he is riding a 26-game errorless streak at third base, the longest streak by a Sens' infielder this season.

LIFE IN THE FAST LANE : Lane Thomas broke out Thursday night in the fourth game of his MLB rehab appearance with the Senators as he went 2-for-4 while scoring two runs, driving in two runs, stealing a base, and walking twice without striking out.

HOLDING IT DOWN : The Senators' pitching staff has been one of the best in the Eastern League. Their staff's collective 3.36 ERA is third best in the Eastern League. Their bullpen's 2.94 ERA is the best in the Eastern League and fourth-best in all of AA.

EDGE OF YOUR SEAT : With the first four games of this series being decided by one run, each of the Senators' last six games has been decided by one run - the longest streak of one-run games for the Sens this season. The Senators have gone 3-3 in this stretch and are 11-7 overall in one-run games this season. The last two games requiring extra innings is the second time the Senators have played in consecutive extra-inning games this season with the last time being three in a row against Erie in April.
