Worcester Red Sox News Release


WORCESTER, M.A. - The Rochester Red Wings (53-64) held on to take the series finale over the Worcester Red Sox (59-58) on Sunday afternoon, a 3-2 final in front of 7,611 at Polar Park.

WooSox starter Brian Keller turned in his third quality start over his last four outings, tossing six innings of three-run ball. The right-hander made one mistake, a three-run home run to right from Andrew Stevenson in the third.

Worcester's bullpen was sterling again, allowing just a single Rochester baserunner over the final three innings. A.J. Politi, Frank German and Kaleb Ort all tossed runless frames, capping off a week in which WooSox relievers posted a 1.47 ERA (5 ER in 30.2 IP).

Offensively, Rochester starter Daniel Ponce De Leon held the WooSox hitless over five innings. He departed, and the home team immediately took advantage-Abraham Almonte led off the sixth with a double, Worcester's first hit. Two batters later, Ronaldo Hernandez clubbed a two-run homer to left to make it 3-2.

Hernandez finished the day 2-for-4, notching his 12th homer and 37th extra-base-hit of the season in the loss.

The WooSox are off Monday and begin a six-game road series on Tuesday at 6:35 p.m. against the Syracuse Mets. On the mound, Josh Winckowski (2-2, 3.38) is the scheduled starter for Worcester. Radio coverage is live at 6:15 p.m. on 100.1 FM The Pike, 98.9 Nash Icon and the WooSox Radio Network.
