Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release
MOOSIC, PA -The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (53-50) shut out the Buffalo Bisons 5-0. Oswald Peraza launched a two-run home run as the RailRiders tallied their ninth shutout win of the season behind Jhony Brito.
Peraza launched his team-leading fifteenth homer of the season with a two-run shot in the first against Shaun Anderson. He's homered six times in his last 18 games since the start of July.
The RailRiders doubled their lead thanks to a wild pitch and an error in the bottom of the fourth to make it a 4-0 game for starter Jhony Brito. The righthander set a Triple-A career-high with seven strikeouts in 5.1 shutout innings. It's the second straight outing for Brito in which he sets a new high in that category. He also however allowed four walks, matching a career-high. He allowed just two hits.
A bases-loaded walk to Oswaldo Cabrera brought home Ronald Guzmán in the sixth for a 5-0 lead. José Mujica was solid out of the RailRiders bullpen, going two and third shutout innings with just two baserunners. Zach Greene tallied the final four outs to close down the shutout win. Brito (6-2) earned the victory with Anderson (2-2) taking the loss for Buffalo.
The series continues on Saturday night at 6:05 PM when Clarke Schmidt (0-0, 4.15) takes the mound. It's Super Hero Night at the ballpark with a Thor Bobblehead giveaway to the first 2,500 fans through the gates. Tickets and details are available at swbrailriders.com.
