Trying to Turn the Beat Around - The Worcester Red Sox will attempt to snap their season-high 5-game losing streak and win for the first time since Sunday, May 17 in Buffalo (4-0) when they open a 6-game series against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (AAA-Yankees) tonight at 6:05 pm at PNC Field in Moosic, PA. The WooSox were swept this past week in an abbreviated 5-game series at home by red-hot Rochester (winners of 16 of their last 19 games) and currently have dropped 5 games in a row to match their season-high 5-game losing skid from April 14-18 (all in Nashville). Worcester's longest losing streak all of last year was also 5 games (April 25-30, 2025) and they have not lost 6 straight since a 6-game losing streak from May 22-28, 2024. The WooSox also had one 6-game losing skid in 2023 (April 9-14). Their longest losing streak in their 5+ year history came in 2022 when they lost 10 consecutive games from May 5-15, 2022.
Sox vs. Yanks - Tonight's series opener can be heard back in New England on NASH 98.9 FM and The Pike 100.1 FM. This week/weekend marks Worcester's first visit to Moosic, PA this season and their only extended stay in the Montage Mountain region. The WooSox will return to Lackawanna County to face the RailRiders again but for only a 3-game series from July 17-19 just after the All-Star break. The RailRiders will return to Polar Park for a 6-game set from August 25-30. Earlier this month, the WooSox took 3 of 5 from Scranton/WB in an abbreviated series at Polar Park. The Sox won on May 5, 7-6; lost in 10-innings on May 6, 9-7; won their longest game in club-history on May 7 in 12-innings, 10-8; and won again on May 8, 8-3. The game on May 9 was rained out and eventually cancelled as the teams did not make it up the next day (a 3-2 Scranton/WB victory on May 10 to conclude the series) and will not make it up during this current 6-game set at PNC Field.
The probable pitching match-ups for the remainder of the series at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this week/weekend:
Wed. 11:05 am LHP Jake Bennett (2-2, 1.84) vs. RHP Dom Hamel (1-6, 8.78)
