JULY 3rd WORCESTER (4-5)/(40-40) at SYRACUSE (4-5)/(42-42) 6:35 pm
Worcester Red Sox RHP Jack Anderson (2-4, 5.26) vs. Syracuse Mets RHP Xzavian Curry (2-0, 4.50)
Deuce - The 40-40 Worcester Red Sox - winners of each of the first three games here in Syracuse this week and winners of four in a row overall - have returned to the .500 mark for the season with their 40-40 record. They play the first of their 66 games remaining tonight when they take on the host Syracuse Mets in game four of their 6-game series at 6:35 pm at NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse, NY. The WooSox (at 4-5 in the 2nd half and 40-40 on the year) are tied with Syracuse (also at 4-5 in the 2nd half and 42-42 on the year) with the winner tonight breaking that tie and going back over the .500 mark overall on the year. Tonight's Game 4 can be heard on NASH 98.9 FM.
Four of a Kind - Worcester's current 4-game winning streak is their longest since they had a 5-game winning streak from June 4-9. The WooSox have won 5 in a row twice this year (March 31 - April 5 all at St. Paul the other). This current streak began with a 3-1 win vs. Toledo last Sunday to end Worcester's last homestand and has continued with three consecutive victories here in Syracuse this Tuesday - Thursday by scores of 15-5, 6-5, and 6-5 again. The WooSox have not won more than 5 straight since a club-record 9-game winning streak last year from June 1-11.
Homer Haven - WooSox batters have been on a home run binge of late. They have blasted 9 HR in the first 3 games here in Syracuse this week and have homered in 7 straight games for a total of 14 HR. Over a longer stretch, Worcester has homered in 21 of their last 24 games since June 4 for a total of 31 HR. By comparison, in their previous 20 games between May 10 - June 3 the Sox hit just 8 HR total. The WooSox are 31-16 when they homer in a game this season, however, they are tied for next to last in the International League with 77 HR on the year.
What's Ahead- The Sox and Mets play two more night games (both at 6:35 pm) - tonight & tomorrow - and then conclude the series Sunday at 1:05 pm. Worcester returns to action at Polar Park this coming Tuesday night when they open a 6-game series vs. the Rochester Red Wings from July 7-12.
