LAST TIME OUT

ALLENTOWN, PA (July 24, 2022) - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders fell 3-2 to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs Sunday at Coca-Cola Park. Nick Maton broke up a 2-2 duel with an RBI single off Jimmy Cordero in the bottom of the eighth to clinch the series for Lehigh Valley.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre opened the scoring against Lehigh Valley's James Dykstra three batters into the top of the first. Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza reached on singles to start the inning, and both scored on a double to left by Miguel Andújar. The IronPigs evened the tally against Jhony Brito in the bottom of the second on a two-run home run to right by Will Toffey.

Brito matched Lehigh Valley's bullpen over the next four innings. The RailRiders right-hander retired ten straight and 14 out of 15 after the Toffey home run. The IronPigs used five relievers to hold Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in check from the second inning on.After the RailRiders missed a chance with two on and no one out in the top of the eighth, Cordero walked Scott Kingery to start the home half of the inning. After Kingery stole second, Maton lined a 1-2 offering to right to drive in Kingery for the Lehigh Valley lead. Brito worked a quality start, going six innings with four strikeouts and no walks. Zach Greene pitched a scoreless seventh before Cordero (0-1) handled the eighth. Mark Appel (6-0) pitched two innings of scoreless relief and was the benefactor of the eighth-inning run. Tyler Cyr allowed a two-out single in the ninth before closing the door for his second save.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre had not lost a series since a May 31 through June 5 set against Lehigh Valley and are now 5-1-1 over their last seven series.

NEWS & NOTES

FIRST THINGS FIRST - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders make their last trip to Frontier Field this season with a six-game set in Rochester. The last time the RailRiders were here they dropped five of six in the early part of May. The Red Wings will not return to PNC Field this season.

FIRST TIME, LONG TIME - Scranton/Wilkes-Barre is coming off back-to-back losses for the first time in the month of July and the first time since June 21 and 22 in Toledo. That was also coincidently the last time the RailRiders lost back-to-back one-run games. Saturday and Sunday's losses were the fourth time SWB has lost back-to-back one-run games. They have not lost three straight one-run games this season.

WELL, THAT HAPPENED - With Sunday's loss, the RailRiders dropped the three-game set to Lehigh Valley. It ended a stretch of six straight series with either a series win or series split. The last series loss coincidentally also came against Lehigh Valley.

MOVE IT, MOVE IT - Tim Locastro was recalled by the Yankees today with the news that Giancarlo Stanton was placed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to July 24) with left achilles tendonitis. Locastro had just been optioned late Friday, appearing for SWB on Sunday without coming to the plate. The Yankees have already made twelve roster moves involving SWB since the All-Star break ended (Thursday, July 21).

TOUGH NEWS - Today, the Yankees moved Reggie McClain to the 60-Day Injured List from the 7-Day Injured List. McClain had been on the IL since June 13 and has not appeared in a game since June 10. Just over one year ago on June 21, 2021 at PNC Field, McClain combined with Luis Gil and Stephen Ridings for the fifth no-hitter in franchise history against these Rochester Red Wings. It was the first no-no in the Yankees-affiliated era (since 2007).

BEN'S BIZ - Ben Rortvedt is continuing his rehab assignment with the RailRiders after playing four games with Hudson Valley. The catcher is coming back from a right oblique strain. He went 1-for-12 with the Renegades with three walks and six strikeouts. He has gone 1-for-9 with three walks in three games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Prior to this season, Rortvedt had spent his entire career in the Minnesota Twins organization. He was traded to the Yankees from the Twins on March 13 of this year in a deal that included Gary Sanchez, Gio Urshela, Josh Donaldson and Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
