MOOSIC, PA (June 15, 2022) –The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders defeated the Rochester Red Wings 10-6 on Wednesday evening. Tim Locastro and Miguel Andújar combined to go 6-for-10 at the plate with seven runs batted in.

The Red Wings struck first with a solo home run from Major League rehabber Alcides Escobar against RailRiders’ starter JP Sears in the game’s opening frame. Escobar finished the night 1-for-3 in the first game of his rehab assignment. Sears allowed three runs over four innings with five strikeouts.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre responded quickly via Miguel Andújar’s game-tying RBI-double against Rochester starter Logan Verrett. The 31-year-old right-hander Verrett allowed six runs (five earned) in 5.1 frames of work with six punchouts.

The RailRiders extended their lead to 5-1 after a four-run second inning. Armando Alvarez hit a three-run home run in the frame and Andújar drove in his second tally of the night. Alvarez is batting .325 (25-for-77) with eight home runs against the Red Wings since the start of last season.

Rochester tied the game by scoring two runs in the fourth and sixth innings making it 5-5. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre then reclaimed the lead in their half of the sixth after a two-out, three-run double from Tim Locastro gave SWB an 8-5 advantage. The RailRiders tacked on another one batter later after Andújar’s third RBI of the game.

After Rochester got one back in the eighth, SWB responded immediately with an RBI double from Locastro in the bottom of the frame. Braden Bristo and Michael Gomez combined to allow just one run over 3.1 innings out of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s bullpen in the 10-6 final.

Bristo (1-2) earned his first win of the season out of the RailRiders’ bullpen. Verrett (3-5) was saddled with the loss for Rochester. SWB has now won six of its last seven games.

The two teams continue their six-game series on Thursday with first pitch at 6:35 PM. It’s Thirsty Thursday with $1.00 specials on Bud Light and Pepsi products for two hours after gates open, presented by Budweiser and Eyewitness News.
