CURVE, Pa. – Matt Gorski went 3-for-5 with three RBI and Kyle Nicolas tossed 5.2 scoreless frames as Altoona shutout Reading, 8-0, on Wednesday night at PNG Field.

Liover Peguero smashed his 10th home run of the season in the third inning for Altoona, a solo shot to get the Curve on the board. Lolo Sanchez later hit his fifth home run to spark a two-out rally in the eighth inning. The two shots give Altoona 138 home runs on the season, three shy of the franchise record of 141 set in 2005 with four games to play.

Gorski picked up two RBI in the fifth inning on a bases-loaded single off Andrew Baker. He would knock home another run on an RBI-single in the eighth inning, finishing with three singles in the contest. Endy Rodriguez had another two-hit, two-RBI day for the Curve, with an RBI-single in the seventh and an RBI-double in the eighth. Nick Gonzales added an RBI-double in the eighth inning for his second hit of the day.

Nicolas finished the day one out shy of matching his season-long outing. He struck out six batters with one walk and five hits. Nick Dombkowski struck out three batters in 1.1 hitless innings before Austin Roberts punched three baters in two hitless innings. It was the fifth shutout victory of the season for the Curve.

Peguero stole two bases in the contest, putting Altoona at 156 on the season, three shy of the franchise record of 159 set in 2014.

With an Erie extra-inning victory over Richmond, Altoona remains -3.5 games out of a playoff spot with just four games to play, meaning an Erie victory or Altoona loss tomorrow will eliminate the Curve from playoff contention.

Altoona continues a six-game series with the Reading Fightin’ Phils, Double-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, on Thursday night at 6:00 p.m. in the final regular season series of the year. Curve will send RHP Quinn Priester to the mound, while Reading has LHP Taylor Lehman scheduled to start.
