ROCHESTER, NY- Scranton/Wilkes-Barre won four of six games against the Rochester Red Wings this week, closing the series with an 8-7 victory in the finale this afternoon. The games featured multiple home runs, unlike Thursday’s matchup, where solo home runs dominated.

Jesus Rodriguez powered the RailRiders with two three-run homers off Chase Solesky in the third and fourth innings, giving Scranton a 6-1 lead. Seth Shuman, making his third relief appearance in the fifth, pitched a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.

In the bottom of the fifth, Rochester rallied as YoYo Morales singled to bring in Nasim Nunez, making it 6-2. Nick Schnell reached base, and with runners on first and second, Andres Chaparro hit a massive 469-foot homer to bring the Wings within 6-5.

Matt LeCroy added drama by using newly acquired reliever Clayton Beeter, who faced his former team in his debut. Beeter retired the side by striking out Ramon Flores after walking T.J. Rumfield and a failed steal attempt.

Nick Schnell gave Rochester a brief lead with his two-run homer to right center, his 14th homer of the season, but in the seventh, Mason Thompson walked Jeimer Candelario before Bryan De La Cruz hit a decisive two-run homer to put the RailRiders ahead for good.

Ryan Loutos closed with two hitless, scoreless innings, striking out two. Rochester now heads on a two-week road trip to Charlotte and Norfolk. Dylan Crews is expected to join the Rochester Red Wings in Charlotte on a rehab assignment starting on Tuesday, while Yohandy Morales extended his on-base streak to 20 games with a walk and a single.
