Pawtucket Red Sox News Release
PAWTUCKET, R.I. - The Pawtucket Red Sox (56-77) were shut out for the third time this season, falling to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (72-62) on Tuesday night at McCoy Stadium by a 4-0 final.
Pitching in front of family and friends, former Bishop Hendricken High School pitcher Mike King tossed six shutout innings and struck out six in his second career start at McCoy.
After grabbing a first inning run on two doubles last night, the RailRiders did so again tonight. Yankees first baseman Luke Voit, continuing his major-league rehab assignment, led off the game with a double. Two batters later, Breyvic Valera doubled down the left-field line to score Voit and put Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in front 1-0.
Kyle Higashioka blooped a single to right in the third inning to make it 2-0.
In the ninth, Voit hit a two-run home run to make it 4-0.
Playing for a fifth consecutive day on his own rehab assignment, Michael Chavis went 1-for-3 and played seven innings at second base.
Ryan Weber tossed 5.2 innings allowing just a pair of earned runs. The 29-year-old has a 2.77 ERA over his last nine starts in Pawtucket.
The PawSox and RailRiders continue this four-game series tomorrow at 7:05 p.m. Pawtucket right-hander Teddy Stankiewicz (6-7, 3.94 ERA) is scheduled to oppose RailRiders righty Adonis Rosa (6-0, 3.51 ERA). Radio coverage on WHJJ (920 AM and 104.7 FM) and throughout the PawSox Radio Network begins with the pre-game show at 6:35 p.m.

From 5-6 PM before the game, fans will also be allowed on the field for pictures and autographs with their favorite players. On August 30 (Friday), the PawSox will take the field as the Pawtucket Fightin' Quahogs in a name change that pays homage to one of Rhode Island's most famous cuisines.
