The Rochester Red Wings overcame an early deficit to beat the Worcester Red Sox 6-4 Thursday in the opener of a scheduled doubleheader at ESL Ballpark. Game 2 was postponed due to rain; its status has not yet been announced.
Worcester took a 3-0 lead in the first inning on Matt Thaiss' three-run homer. Yohandy Morales responded with a solo shot in the bottom half to put Rochester on the board.
Rochester tied the game in the third inning. Morales and Abimelec Ortiz singled, with Brady House driving in Morales. Joey Wiemer grounded out to score Ortiz, making it 3-3.
The WooSox regained the lead in the fourth. Allan Castro reached base, stole second and scored on Nathan Hickey's double. The Red Wings tied it again in the bottom half with Riley Adams' solo homer to center.
Rochester took the lead for good in the fifth against reliever Devin Sweet. Ortiz singled, House followed with another single and Andrew Pinckney moved them to second and third with a sacrifice bunt. Wiemer hit a sacrifice fly to score Ortiz, and Robert Hassell doubled to score House, giving the Red Wings a 6-4 lead.
The Red Wings' bullpen held Worcester scoreless the rest of the way. Zak Kent worked 1 1/3 innings to earn the win, followed by scoreless innings from Carson Palmquist and Cole Henry. The trio held Worcester hitless over the final three innings, issuing just two walks.
Morales finished 2-for-4 with his 15th home run, two runs scored and an RBI. Ortiz added two hits and scored twice, while House had two hits and an RBI. Adams contributed a homer and a walk.
WooSox starter Patrick Sandoval allowed one run on one hit over 1 2/3 innings before the bullpen took over. Sweet took the loss after allowing two runs in the fifth.
