Scranton/Wilkes-Barre built a 6-1 lead after three, holding off a Worcester comeback to win the first game of the second half of the season and its third in a row overall.

Worcester opened the scoring in the top of the second off RailRiders starter Erick Leal when Nathan Hickey hit a solo home run to right, staking an early 1-0 edge. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre sent all nine batters to the plate to take a three-run lead in the home half of the frame. T.J. Rumfield singled, a pitch hit Alex Jackson, and Bryan De La Cruz walked to load the bases for Jose Rojas, who singled to left, tying the game at one. The RailRiders jumped ahead after Andrew Velazquez walked with the bases loaded and extended the advantage with a Jesús Rodríguez base hit. Jorbit Vivas hit into a force out to give the RailRiders a 4-1 lead.

The RailRiders pushed two more across in the bottom of the third. After Rumfield and De La Cruz walked, Rojas doubled to build a 6-1 margin. The WooSox climbed back into the game in the top of the fifth. Blake Sabol doubled to lead off and scored on a Corey Rosier infield single to cut the deficit to four. Jhostynxon Garcia plated two more runs on a single to left that bounced away from Rojas to make the game a two-run contest. In the eighth, Yankees #20 Prospect Clayton Beeter allowed two walks and a run as Worcester cut the lead to one.

Leal pitched five innings for the win and Harrison Cohen was credited with his first Triple-A save. Tanner Houck took the loss.

Since 2021, the RailRiders lead the all-time series 51-45 and have gone 28-21 at PNC Field.

MILESTONE GAME- Tonight's contest marks the 2,500th regular season game for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since becoming a Yankees affiliate for the 2007 season. SWB holds a .560 winning percentage since 2007, winning 1,399 games and falling in 1,100.

RBI GUY- Jose Rojas added three runs batted in to his team-best total on Tuesday, bringing him to 51 over 61 games this season. Rojas drove in 57 in 67 games for the RailRiders last season before opting out in mid-July. Ben Seymour of Durham leads the International League with 65 driven in. Rojas is tied for third, matching Memphis's Jimmy Crooks, and is only four behind Lehigh Valley's Otto Kemp.
