The Senators used long balls from Josh Johnson and Bill Rhinehart to snap their four-game losing streak with a 6-1 win over Trenton. Shairon Martis started for the Senators and pitched six strong innings allowing just one unearned run. Martis improves to 4-2 with the win. Yankees #3 prospect Dellin Betances started and took the loss for Trenton falling to 3-2 on the season.
