Rochester Red Wings News Release


The Rochester Red Wings were shut out for a second-straight game by Scranton/WB Wednesday afternoon, 2-0. RF Travis Blankenhorn turned in Rochester's only hit of the day, a single in the fourth. LHP Andrew Alvarez turned in 5.0 scoreless frames in his second career Triple-A start, and LHP Joe La Sorsa logged 1.1 innings on one hit in relief.

Both offenses struggled to find any success in the first two-thirds of today's contest, as Scranton/WB and Rochester's staff both dominated, only allowing five total hits through the first six frames.

After six scoreless innings, Scranton/WB opened up the scoring in the top of the seventh. RF Oscar Gonzalez lined a changeup into shallow right field that rolled all the way to the wall for a one-out triple. The next at-bat, LF Greg Allen roped a double into the right field corner that plated Gonzalez, making it 1-0 RailRiders.
