The WooSox got out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning on Wednesday against the Mud Hens (DET), thanks to a two-run double from Allan Castro. The pitching was unable to hang on, though, with starter Raymond Burgos allowing four runs (three earned) in four innings. Reliever Tyler Samaniego gave up a home run in the fifth, to get the loss, falling to 1-1 with a 5.56 ERA in his time at Triple-A. Samaniego had a 2.66 ERA in the big leagues over 20 1/3 innings, but has struggled at Worcester over 11 1/3 minor league innings.
Braiden Ward had two hits for the Woo Sox in the leadoff spot, stealing his 33rd and 34th bags of the season. Ward would be a great September call-up when the rosters expand for his speed, or even
Brayan Bello (0-0, 5.19) will get the ball for the Woo Sox on Thursday at 6:45.
Lastly, when I used to read the Boston Globe box scores meticulously every day as a kid, my favorite team name in any sport or level was the Toledo Mud Hens. I’m just glad this team name still exists in the same form.

The Sea Dogs exploded for 14 hits against the Yard Goats (COL) on Wednesday, in a 10-4 rout. Portland also had eight walks and a hit by a pitch on the day. By my math, that’s 23 baserunners. Tons of multi-hit efforts, including three from Matt Fraizer, and two from Franklin Arias, Nate Baez, Jack Winnay, and Marvin Alcantara.
Starting pitcher Hayden Mullins fell one out short of qualifying for the win, going 4 2/3 with 6 strikeouts and 2 runs allowed. Michael Sansone took it from there, going the final 4 1/3 for the win, allowing 2 runs. Hopefully, this is a step in the right direction for Mullins, who was excellent a year ago (2.21 ERA between High-A and Double-A) but had not gotten out of the fourth inning in three consecutive starts.
Gage Ziehl (3-2, 4.56) will start for the Sea Dogs on Thursday at 7:10.

The best performance of the day throughout the minor leagues for the Red Sox was from last year’s eighth-round pick, Dylan Brown. Brown dominated Asheville (HOU) hitters over seven innings, striking out 11. Brown has a 3.34 ERA combined between Salem and Greenville this season, in 12 games.
Luke Heyman hit a two-run homer for the Drive, his fifth, and Antonio Anderson had a two-hit day.
This line in the box score made me laugh. I wish I could find a video. “Ejections: Drive hitting coach Jarrett Pico ejected by HP umpire Natanael Rodriguez Garcia (2nd).”
Jojo Ingrassia (1-0, 1.52) takes the hill for Greenville at 6:45 on Thursday.
Salem RidgeYaks 5, Myrtle Beach Pelicans 4 (BOX)

The RidgeYaks got ahead early, thanks to home runs from Adonys Guzman and Andruw Mussett, to take a 3-0 lead after two.
Starter Leighton Finley, a sixth-round pick a year ago, took it from there, pitching great against the Pelicans (CHC) to pick up the win on Wednesday. He struck out ten batters in five innings, allowing two runs. Williams Rodriguez picked up a seven-out save, not allowing a run.
Cole Tolbert (1-0, 2.55) will toe the rubber for Salem on Thursday at 6:35.
