GREENEVILLE, TN - Cameron Warren's three run home run in the bottom of the sixth Monday night was the difference in the Greeneville Reds (11-15) 5-2 win over the Kingsport Mets (13-13) at Pioneer Park. LHP Jose Salvador matched a season high with six strikeouts over five innings, but did not factor in the decision.
After a stranding a runner at third in the first, Greeneville struck first in the second. Tyler Callihan drew a one out walk, stole second, and scored on Garrett Wolforth's RBI-double.
Cristopher Pujols reached on a dropped third strike to open the fifth, and went first-to-third on Sebastian Espino's one out double. Pujols scored the tying run on Kennie Taylor's sacrifice fly. Espino went to third on the out, and scored on Scott Ota's RBI-single.
Greeneville answered in the bottom half. Carlos Reina drew a lead off walk, and scored the tying run on Wolforth's second RBI-double.
LHP Hector Rodriguez (L, 1-2) walked both Allan Cerda and Cristian Olivo to open the sixth ahead of Warren. Warren came up and hit a go-ahead three run home run to left field to break the 2-2 tie.
Salvador allowed two runs on four hits over five innings with six strikeouts but did not factor in the decision. LHP Alec Byrd (W, 3-0) struck out five of the six Mets hitters he faced over two perfect innings to earn his third win.
