Mound Presence
Yorman GĂłmez allowed a unearned run in the first after an error and two singles, but was lights out the rest of the way. In total, the right-hander struck out six over four and a third innings while allowing just the one run. Matt Jachec followed with a scoreless inning and two thirds. Ross Carver tossed two scoreless innings. Zane Morehouse worked a scoreless ninth to pick up the save.

Duck Tales
The RubberDucks tied Erie in the third. Jonah Advincula singled to open the frame before advancing to second on a stolen base and third on a groundout. A wild pitch scored Advincula to tie the game at 1-1. After Burgos gave Akron the lead in the sixth, he extended that lead in the eighth. Burgos lined a single into right field to score Angel Genao from third. A passed ball and two wild pitches later, Burgos scored to make it 4-1 Akron.
A big day for Jorge!
