Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release

Moosic, Pa. - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees) claimed their sixth straight win over the Syracuse Chiefs with a 5-1 performance on Tuesday night at PNC Field. The RailRiders (47-40) have held the Chiefs (31-55) to two runs or fewer in four straight meetings.

Wilking Rodriguez (1-0) took home the win in his debut with the RailRiders. The right-hander fired a scoreless fifth inning in relief of Luis Severino, striking out one. Severino bulled his way through four innings on 85 pitches. The right-hander allowed one run on four hits while walking two and fanning four.

Espino surrendered five runs on 11 hits over 6.1 innings in the loss. Ben Gamel notched two RBI thanks to a run-scoring single in the fifth and double in the seventh. Juan Graterol made it 2-0 RailRiders on a single to left in the second stanza. Cole Figueroa capped the scoring in the seventh with a sacrifice fly to left.
