Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders News Release

MOOSIC, PA - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders mustered only three hits as they fell to the Gwinnett Stripers 3-1 on Sunday afternoon at PNC Field. The contest wraps up a season-long nine-game homestand for the RailRiders in which they went 3-6.

Yankees top prospect Deivi Garcia turned in one of his best outings in Triple-A this season, though his final line is not indicative of how well he pitched. The 20-year-old righty allowed two runs on three hits in 4.1 innings, striking out five and walking two. At one point in the outing, Garcia (1-3) retired 10 consecutive Gwinnett batters.

The RailRiders took an early lead in the bottom of the first when Ryan McBroom doubled off the top of the wall in centerfield, chasing home Tyler Wade with the first run of the game. The SWB first baseman finished 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI, his third straight game with a run-scoring two-base hit.

Gwinnett took the lead in the top of the fifth after Garcia yielded back-to-back singles to Jack Lopez and Sean Kazmar Jr. Trevor Lane entered and walked Drew Waters to load the bases, and with two outs in the frame a three-run double from Ryan LaMarre unloaded the bases and put the Stripers on top 3-1.

Lane settled down as he threw a 1-2-3 frame in the sixth as he was making his Triple-A debut in the contest after being promoted early Sunday morning. Rex Brothers contributed 2.0 scoreless innings out of the bullpen in the seventh and eighth, and extended an 8.1-inning scoreless streak across his last eight appearances.

David Sosebee worked a scoreless top of the ninth, and the RailRiders brought the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth after a Terrance Gore double. A.J. Minter struck out pinch hitter Erik Kratz to finish the ballgame and earn his fourth save of the season.

The RailRiders hit the road to begin a six-game road trip on Tuesday night at BB&T Park against the Charlotte Knights. First pitch is scheduled for 7:04 p.m. RHP Brian Keller (0-0, 2.57) gets the ball for the RailRiders in the series opener, making his second Triple-A start. Follow along with the game on the RailRiders Broadcast Network, with Adam Giardino bringing you the action with pregame coverage beginning at 6:35 p.m.
