"He went five innings, improving his ERA to 13 (lol) and striking out seven while allowing two runs to cross the plate. The problem, though, is that Worcester did not have two runs cross the plate all night. Their only extra-base hit was courtesy of Max Ferguson, and the WooSox also only drew one walk on the night. Their win expectancy was kept minimal for the vast majority of the night despite the thin lead Syracuse held."
"Earlier in the season, I was frying certain managerial figures on this team by lamenting about the team finding new and exciting ways to lose. I contested that the crux of a team lays with how many one-run games falls in their favor. If that's any factor in Portland facing Binghamton (Mets AA) this week, you have your answer. This is the third time in four games that the Rumble Ponies walked it off, despite two of these games featuring some solid pitching."
Jack Anderson's first Triple-A outing was disastrous—five outs, eight runs, eleven hits—but his next start in Syracuse improved dramatically. He worked five innings, struck out seven, allowed two runs and briefly lowered his ERA to 13. Worcester managed only one run, recorded a single extra-base hit by Max Ferguson, drew only one walk, and kept win expectancy minimal despite a thin Syracuse lead. Portland's matchup with Binghamton saw the Rumble Ponies walk off three times in four games. An opposing righty went five innings allowing two runs with six strikeouts. The Sea Dogs collected hits from nearly every batter, Abrham Liendo stole his 42nd base, and the team stranded nine runners while Jesse Wu-Yelland allowed a game-changing home run that catalyzed a rally.
