For the second straight year, the Thruway Cup will reside in Rochester.

 

The Buffalo Bisons scored three times in the second inning but couldn't hold on as the Rochester Red Wings came back for a 6-3 win at Frontier Field on Thursday.

 

The night started out strong for the Herd as Jesus Montero's second-inning single to left was followed up by a replica from Chris Colabello. Domonic Brown then delivered the opening score as he took a slow slider from Jason Wheeler and drove it into right field.

 

Two batters later, Andy Burns brought home both runners as his high fly ball nearly left yard, coming down into the top half of the wall for a stand-up double.

 

However, that's as much damage as the Bisons would cause for the rest of the night.

 

Rochester starter may have allowed the three runs in the second inning, but then he certainly found his groove. After Ryan Goins' doubled to lead off the third, Wheeler retired the next 12 Buffalo batters.

 

The big lefty finished with six punch-outs over seven frames as he picked up his 10th win of the year.

 

Melky Mesa and Montero each reached base to lead off the eighth and ninth frames respectively, but both were unable to advance any further.

 

In his eighth career start against the Red Wings, Jason Berken lasted 5.2 innings before exiting the game down 4-3 with a man on second. The veteran righty, who had only made two appearances with the Herd so far this season, fanned four and was charged with four earned runs on four hits and three walks.

 

Chad Girodo was unable to hold the fort when he took over for Berken, as he allowed two hits and two walks to the next four batters, extending the Wings' lead to three.

 

BISONS NOTES:

With a second-inning single, Jesus Montero extended his hitting streak to 10 games…Dustin Antolin struck out two of three batters he faced and now hold as 1.94 ERA over 40 appearances with the Herd this year…Andy Burns' double puts him two ahead of Montero and Domonic Brown for the team lead...Buffalo is now 8-10 against Rochester with their final battle of 2016 slated for 7:05 p.m. on Friday.

Manchester - Jorge Saez and Rowdy Tellez each had three hits, but the Fisher Cats fell a run short in a comeback bid, falling 3-2 to Binghamton on Thursday night.

 

New Hampshire (59-65) still won its fifth consecutive series, winning three of the five games. The teams split the 18 they played in 2016.

 

The Mets (58-65) opened the game with a run in the top of the first inning. Phillip Evans doubled and scored on a single by Matt Oberste. Evans also singled in a run in the second and singled in the fourth as the Mets plated another run for a 3-0 lead.

 

New Hampshire scored in the bottom of the fifth. Saez, who went 3-for-4, singled, advanced to second on a single by Ian Parmley, and scored on a single by Richard Urena.

 

The Fisher Cats mounted a two-out rally in the bottom of the sixth inning. Jason Leblebijian walked and moved to second on a wild pitch. Derrick Loveless made it 3-2 with an RBI single.

 

Tellez doubled twice and singled, but the Fisher Cats couldn't deliver the clutch hit.

 

Rainy Lara (7-10) picked up the win for Binghamton. He worked into the sixth inning, yielding to relievers Luis Mateo, Kyle Regnault, Tim Peterson and David Roseboom. The foursome did not allow a run and Roseboom pitched a perfect ninth for his 11th save.

 

New Hampshire's bullpen recorded four innings of scoreless relief. Brady Dragmire, John Stilson and Murphy Smith held the Mets in check after starter Jeremy Gabryszwski (7-10) allowed three runs in five innings.

 

The homestand at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium continues on Friday at 7:05 p.m with the first of three games with Western Division leading Altoona. LHP Shane Dawson (8-4, 3.99) is slated to start for New Hampshire. An Atlas Fireworks Show will follow the game. It's also our annual Kids Run The Show game when they take over the ballpark and learn what it takes to put together the Fisher Cats Entertainment Experience, presented by TD Bank. Tickets are available at www.nhfishercats.com.

LANSING, Mich. - The Great Lakes Loons (25-27, 54-68) completed a decisive four-game road sweep with a 5-1 win over the Lansing Lugnuts (26-27, 62-61) on Thursday night at Cooley Law School Stadium, pulling within a half-game of the Lugnuts for the second and final Eastern Division playoff berth.

 

17 games remain in the Midwest League regular season.

 

In six of the nine innings, the Loons sent only three batters to the plate - but they scored two runs in the second inning against Justin Maese (Loss, 1-2) and three runs in the seventh against Tom Robson to back another stellar pitching effort.

 

19-year-old Great Lakes starter Leo Crawford tossed four innings, limiting Lansing to merely a Justin Atkinson sacrifice fly in the bottom of the third.

 

Luis DePaula (Win, 2-0) held the Lugs off the scoreboard from the fifth through the seventh innings, and Andrew Istler recorded the final six outs without issue.

 

Maese finished six innings, allowing only the two runs on five hits, walking one and striking out five in his third quality start with the Lugnuts.

 

Lansing's offense was led by Juan Kelly, who went 2-for-4 with a double to extend his consecutive on-base streak to 19 straight games. J.C. Cardenas added a ninth-inning double, Ryan Hissey went 1-for-3 with a single and a walk, and Juan Tejada was 1-for-3 with a single.

 

The Lugs finished the four-game series batting just 1-for-26 with runners in scoring position.

 

The South Bend Cubs arrive at Cooley Law School Stadium for the second leg of the Lugnuts' seven-game homestand. Friday is a Freebie Friday: Seniors Eat FREE - all senior fans age 55 or better receive a free hot dog, Pepsi and popcorn at the park - plus postgame LAFCU Fireworks!

 

Right-hander Jordan Romano (3-2, 2.28) starts at 7:05 p.m. for the Lugnuts, opposed by South Bend left-hander Justin Steele (5-6, 6.07). For more information or to purchase your tickets, call 517-485-4500 or visit lansinglugnuts.com.

Rowdy continues to rake. I really hope he turns into something so we can have another reason to bug Keith Law.

Josh Palacios - borderline top 10 prospect?

Maybe in some orgs, but not ours. It's also all BABIP and no power.

Montero walked, call him up.

After a terrible start - Alford's really turned his season around. wRC+ of 123. Needs to drop the K% (can anyone get splits for him to see if they have dropped off considerably since his brutal start?). And walks be damed, Urena is have a very good season.

His K rate in the first half was a putrid 40.5%, in the 2nd half (according to MiLB.com) his K rate fell off to 28%, which is still worrying.

 

BUT his July K rate was 25%, and if I do some WIlner-ian stat cherry picking before his 4 K game yesterday he was at 25% Ks for August! Yay sample size!

Something is off. His season K% is at 28.1. How was it 40% in the first half and 28% in the second half?

Is Wilner Grant77?? That would be hilarious...

 

I am guessing Grant is real given he has been here since 10 years or more...

 

Moogy=Stoeten?? That one I'm still suspicous of... just the fact he able to write off excessively long, annoying posts, with perfect grammar and spelling, made me suspicous he was a writer.

Moogy doesn't write anything like Stoeten.
