The surging York Revolution claimed another lopsided win over the Bridgeport Bluefish, rolling to a 9-2 victory at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard on Thursday evening, taking three of four in the series. The Revs, who have won six of their last eight games overall, will continue their road trip at Long Island on Friday evening at 7:05 p.m.

While the offense put up big numbers for the fourth straight game, Revs starter Chris Cody prevented the Bluefish from doing the same, limiting Bridgeport to one run in his six innings to earn the win.

Cody (2-5) allowed only one hit, a solo homer to left by Brock Peterson in the second inning. It marked the third straight start in which he's allowed just one run, totaling three runs in 19.2 innings on that stretch (1.37 ERA).

Down 1-0 in the third, Brandon Haveman played the role of sparkplug, drawing a two-out walk from Bridgeport starter Raymar Diaz. Haveman stole second on the very next pitch, and advanced to third on catcher Angel Flores' throwing error. That set the stage for Liu Rodriguez who roped an RBI double into the right field corner tying the score. Ramon Castro followed with an RBI double to deep left, giving the Revs a 2-1 lead.

York exploded for five runs in the fifth, and again it was Haveman igniting the rally with a leadoff triple to right. Rodriguez drove him in with a single through the drawn-in infield, and Castro followed with a two-run homer to left. After a one-out single by Chris Nowak, Bobby Kielty crushed a two-run homer onto the railroad tracks beyond the right field fence, as York's lead grew to 7-1.

The Revs would add two more in the ninth as Kielty picked up his third RBI of the night on a ground out, plating Andres Perez who had led off with a double. Nowak also crossed home on a passed ball.

York right-handers Stephen Penney and Adam Thomas each fired scoreless frames in relief of Cody. Bridgeport plated one run in the ninth on a fielder's choice RBI by Flores, but R.J. Rodriguez finished it off, as four pitchers combined on a four-hitter, the fewest hits allowed in a game by the Revs this season.
