Moosic, Pa. - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees) worked 10 walks, one off their season high, in a 10-2 thrashing of the Toledo Mud Hens on Saturday night at PNC Field. The RailRiders (55-47) won their fourth straight and claimed the series against the Mud Hens (43-58).

Bryan Mitchell (5-5) matched a season-high with seven strikeouts across five innings in the victory. The right-hander yielded two runs on five hits with one walk. Tim Melville (4-9) issued a career-high six walks and surrendered seven runs on six hits over five innings. He struck out three.

The RailRiders set the table for a four-run second inning by working three straight walks to open the frame. Ben Gamel then cracked his International League-leading 11th triple of the year to right-center to plate all three runners. Jose Pirela followed with a sacrifice fly to left, scoring Gamel for a 4-0 advantage.
