In the eighth, Jones tripled home Jace Jung to extend Toledo's lead to four. Workman singled, plating another run for a 6-1 margin.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre cut into the deficit in the home half of the frame. Bryan De La Cruz doubled across Pereira to pull within four. A solo home run from Andrew Velazquez in the bottom of the ninth capped the scoring.

Jesus Rodriguez reached base safely in his 25th consecutive game and extended his hitting streak to eight games in the loss.

Woodford (1-2) faced the minimum in three straight innings after the third, striking out the side in the sixth to finish with seven punchouts. Enns left the game at the end of the second inning after getting hit with a line drive, allowing one run on five hits. Tyler Owens (1-1) earned the win, tossing two scoreless innings.
