LOUISVILLE, KY - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders lost 8-1 to the Louisville Bats Wednesday afternoon at Louisville Slugger Field. The RailRiders surrendered four home runs and saw their eight-game winning streak snapped.

Jeimer Candelario's solo home run off Erick Leal tied the game in the third. Rece Hinds and Ryan Vilade went back-to-back in the bottom of the fourth to give Louisville a 3-1 advantage.

The Bats tallied five runs in an eight-batter seventh inning. With two on and two away, Candelario doubled off Geoff Hartlieb to extend the lead to 4-1. Francisco Urbaez reached on a two-run double, and Edwin Rios hit a two-run home run to center to cap the offense at a seven-run lead.
