WAT-CH ME: RHP SPENSER WATKINS spun 7.0 innings of three-run baseball last night, allowing six hits while striking out one and walking two...this is the second time the right-hander has logged 7.0 innings this season, the only Rochester arm to accomplish this feat...over his last three starts since 6/9 at Worcester, Watkins has tossed an International League-leading 20.0 innings and a 3.15 ERA (7 ER/20 IP), which is fifth-best in the IL over that stretch (min.15 IP)...
