Jake Bennett threw five innings of great work, allowing just one hit to propel the WooSox to a lead, but they couldn’t get any run support for him and so they pulled into the ninth inning trailing the Bison (Blue Jays AAA) 2-1. Enter a rally that got everyone involved: Anthony Seigler lead-off double, Kristian Campbell groundout to advance Seigler, Mikey Romero triple to tie it up, and then Tsung-Che Cheng scored on a wild pitch that ended the game. Before that Seigler hit, the WooSox had one hit all game (also from Seigler), but they got the two other knocks exactly where it counted.

Portland: W, 9-0 (BOX SCORE)​

This game had everything in 2026 Red Sox farm team tropes. Anthony Eyanson going five and not allowing a run, the team unloading their offense as if there won’t be close game where one run is needed later, a Brooks Brannon home run, and of course, a Franklin Arias home run, just as his OPS began to hover dangerously close to that 1.000 mark. The home run gave Arias 13 on the season and put the Sea Dogs up 6-0 on the Yard Goats (Rockies AA) but, with the way Eyanson, Halligan and Erik Rivera pitched, it would never have gotten close.

Greenville: L, 2-8 (BOX SCORE)​

Marcus Phillips put in one of his best starts of the season, albeit a short one, but it didn’t stop Joe Vogatsky from melting down to start the seventh and allowing six total runs to the Emperors (Braves High-A), putting the team down much more than they could muster in a four-hit night.

Salem: L, 7-14 (BOX SCORE)​

And speaking of “more than they could muster,” though the RidgeYaks pitching staff struck out thirteen Warbirds (Brewers A) they also walked thirteen and gave up fourteen, twelve earned. Not that the RidgeYaks were going down without a fight. Skylar King hit two home runs to boost his season total to 7 (and who also only seems to homer in losing efforts), and Kleyvar Salazar nuked a ball in about the biggest no-doubter I’ve seen in A-ball. Still, it’s tough to win when you’re going against 14 runs, and this one was never close.

After early reports of a heat wave, the expectation tempered down to about 80 here in the Albany area and it’ll be milder still in Boston. Perfect baseball weather in the evening. So, have a well-rounded Wednesday.
