Rochester, New York - Shortstop Jack Dunn hit the Rochester Red Wing’s first hit of the game; however, the Rochester Red Wings weren’t able to beat the Syracuse Mets as they fell 4-2 in the second to last game of their series and their third loss of the series, which drops the Wings back down to .500 on the season.

SS Jack Dunn led the Red Wings offense, going 2-for-4 with a home run, an RBI, and a run scored. RHP Joan Adon took the ball for Rochester this afternoon. However, he gave up four earned runs (one in each of the first four innings), which proved to be the difference.

This is the fourth straight game that Adon has managed to go 4.0 innings or more toeing the rubber this season. RHP Robert Gsellman entered in relief in the top of the sixth inning, going two innings, allowing no runs on two hits with one strikeout. RHP Luis Reyes replaced Gsellman to start the top of the eighth inning, going one inning and giving up no runs on one strikeout this afternoon. RHP Rico Garia entered from the bullpen at the start of the ninth inning, putting Syracuse down in order while collecting two strikeouts.
