The left-hander only surrendered that one run in his second career Triple-A appearance. He tossed seven innings with just four hits allowed.

Jimmy Yacabonis relieved for the Jumbo Shrimp in the eighth. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre took the lead courtesy of an RBI single with two outs from Oswald Peraza. A 2-1 lead became their first advantage of the young series.
