Plates Comeback Bid Falls Short Thursday Afternoon
June 30, 2022 - International League (IL)
Rochester Red Wings News Release
An improbable six-run comeback fell just short as the Rochester Red Wings dropped their third straight game to the Worcester Red Sox by a score of 8-6 on Thursday afternoon.
LHP Josh Rogers got his first Triple-A start of the season on a rehab assignment from the Washington Nationals. He struggled mightily through 3 2/3 innings, giving up four hits and seven runs including three multi-run homers.
The Wings finally got on the board in the seventh on an RBI double from DH Josh Palacios that scored SS Ildemaro Varags. They scored again on another RBI double, this time from 2B Jake Noll, as 1B Joey Meneses reached home and cut the lead to 7-2. Rochester wouldn't go away in the seventh, tallying four more runs to slice the Worcester lead to just one run, but RHP Jefry Rodriguez gave up an eighth-inning homer that put Worcester back up by two.
LHP Francisco Perez held the Red Sox scoreless in the ninth, setting the stage for a bottom-of-the-ninth Rochester comeback that fell just short.
The last time Rochester lost the first three games of a series was June 7-9 against St. Paul. The Wings would go on to get swept in that series.
Rochester pitchers gave up four home runs in a game for the second time this season, and the first time since April 20 at Lehigh Valley.
Rochester will host the Red Sox at 7:05 p.m. on Friday evening at Frontier Field in game four of the series.
