Hernandez hammered, Salem downed 9-5.

Boxscore

Darwinzon Hernandez could not find the plate in the top of the first inning, yielding five runs on a single, three walks, and a hit by pitch while only getting two outs – one by way of the K. Hildermaro Requena came into the game with the bases loaded and two outs with the Sox down by two, and immediately gave up a wild pitch and a single to unload the bases before getting a ground out to end the frame. Requena settled down over the next three innings – giving up two walks and no runs – before having difficulties in the fifth. In the fifth, Requena relinquished four runs on four singles and a walk, all the runs coming with two outs. In his 4 1/3 inning stint, Requena struck out a pair. Hunter Smith gave Salem hope for a comeback with four scoreless innings, giving up a single and striking out a trio.

Jhon Nunez doubled his Batting Average on the year with three singles in four trips; he was however picked off once. Bobby Dalbec bashed his fourth bomb of the year and took two free passes in four excursions. Jerry Downs, Ryan Scott, Trent Kemp, and Carlos Tovar each singled once in four jaunts. Santiago Espinal singled once in five sessions. Chris Madera and Tyler Hill each procured a walk in four matchups.

Pitching duel favors the Clippers, PawSox downed 2-0.

Boxscore

Justin Haley yielded two runs (one earned) on four hits (three singles and a double) and a walk over 6 1/3 innings; striking out seven and committing a balk. Ty Buttrey picked up the final five outs, hitting one and whiffing four.

Jantzen Witte whipped a single and a double in three jaunts. Sam Travis also thumped a single and a double in four sessions. Rusney Castillo contributed a single in four trips. Ramon Flores and Mike Olt each obtained a free pass in four matchups. Mike Ohlman and Chad De La Guerra each were unsuccessful in three ups. Jeremy Barfield and Ivan De Jesus each suffered four futile forays.

Goats eat up the bullpen, Dogs lose 9-4.

Boxscore

Kevin McAvoy went six solid innings, allowing four runs on seven hits – including a Sam Hilliard homer in the sixth that tied the game at four – and three walks; whiffing a quartet and uncorking two wild pitches. Yankory Pimentel yielded three runs (two earned) on three hits and four walks over two innings; striking out one and allowing (along with catcher Austin Rei) four stolen bases. Adam Lau let in two runs in the ninth on three hits while whiffing a pair.

Jeremy Rivera was a double shy of the cycle with his three hits in four jaunts; driving in all four Portland runs. Tate Matheny and Josh Tobias each thumped two singles in four matchups. Danny Mars dinked a single and was caught stealing in four trips. Jordan Betts, Esteban Quiroz, and Josh Ockimey each obtained a walk amid three hitless excursions; Quiroz was picked off then caught stealing. Cole Sturgeon collected a walk and a stolen base in five sessions. Austin Rei had an awful day, going 0-for-4 with 2Ks to go along with five stolen bases against him and a throwing error.

Kutter Crawford gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits, a walk, and a hit by pitch over five full frames; whiffing an octet. Angel Padron allowed two runs on four hits – including a Quinn Brodey bomb – and a hit by pitch in his 2 1/3 innings; striking out one. Devon Fisher finished off the final five outs, surrendering two runs on three hits – including another Brodey quadrangular – and a walk.

Cole Brannen and C.J. Chatham each collected two hits in five trips; Brannen with a double. Charlie Madden managed a single and two walks in his first four matchups of the season. Ramfis Berroa and Victor Acosta each bopped a hit in four ventures; Berroa with a two-bagger. Kervin Suarez swatted a single in five sessions. Everlouis Lozada accepted two free passes in four excursions. Frankie Rios had four frustrating forays. Pedro Castellanos was sent directly back to the dugout in each of his five at-bats.
