Portland loses seven run lead, goes down in nine, 9-8 (in a game stretched over two days)

Boxscore

Dedgar Jimenez gave up three singles over five scoreless innings before falling a part in the sixth. An Austin Bossart bomb began the frame before Jimenez yielded three hits and a walk (while garnering only one out) before being replaced by Adam Lau. Lau gave up a walk and a Brandon Bednar homer which tied the game at before getting the third out of the sixth. Lau would only give up a walk over the next two innings pitched. Lau struck out three, Jimenez five. Jake Cosart came on for the ninth, giving out a two-run, two-out cuadrangular to Cord Sandberg (scoring the ghost runner) before getting the final out.

Tony Renda reached four times in five trips with three singles and a walk; stealing one base and being caught stealing once. Chad De La Guerra golfed a single, a double, and a grand slam in five at-bats. Nick Lovullo laced a single and walked thrice in five appearances. Tate Matheny and Josh Ockimey each had a hit and a walk in five matchups; Ockimey with a double. Jantzen Witte singled once and jacked a sacrifice fly in five jaunts. Jhon Nunez notched two walks, a sacrifice fly, and a sacrifice bunt in five excursions. Luke Tendler walked once and was hit once in five treks. Jeremy Rivera was unable to reach in six stinky sessions.

Jantzen Witte was a triple shy of the cycle over five jaunts, adding a walk to his three hits. Austin Rei roped a double and a round tripper while taking a free pass in five appearances. Tate Matheny and Chad De La Guerra each singled twice in five matchups. Danny Mars mashed a single and walked once in four trips. Jeremy Rivera ripped a single and added a base on balls in five forays. Jhon Nunez and Nick Lovullo each laced a hit in five at-bats; Nunez with a triple.

Brasier can't hold the Bisons in the ninth, PawSox lose 5-4.

Boxscore

William Cuevas allowed four runs on a walk and six hits – including a Devon Travis downtown shot – over six innings, striking out four. Ty Buttrey walked one and struck out the side in the seventh. Fernando Rodriguez gave up a single and a walk in the eighth; whiffing one. Ryan Brasier walked the first batter he faced... and after a stolen base/throwing error placed the runner on third, a sacrifice fly brought in what proved to be the winning run. Brasier got the final two outs after the SF without incident.

Aneury Tavarez topped two singles in five at-bats. Ivan De Jesus had a single, a walk, and a hit by pitch in four appearances. Mike Olt obtained a double and a walk in four matchups. Mike Ohlman, Sam Travis, and Ramon Flores each flipped a hit in four sessions; Ohlman and Travis with homers. Rusney Castillo contributed a double in five tries. Tzu-Wei Lin took a walk in five attempts. Cole Sturgeon whiffed three times in four frustrating forays.
