Aaron Hicks had three hits and four RBI, Danny Ortiz homered and scored three runs, and more solid performances from the Rochester

bullpen helped the Red Wings to a 6-4 win over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders Monday night in Moosic, PA.

The RailRiders had veteran Kyle Davies as their scheduled starter, but Davies was called up to the Yankees on Sunday. That prompted a

promotion for Class A left-hander Conner Kendrick to take Davies' turn against the Wings. Kendrick, starting his third pro season, had not

pitched above Class A prior to Monday's start for the RailRiders.

Kendrick gave up a double to Hicks to open the game, but a diving catch by right fielder Ramon Flores took away an RBI hit from Brock

Peterson and kept the Wings off the scoreboard.

Red Wings starter Mark Hamburger set down the first two hitters he faced, but the RailRiders put together a single, walk and an RBI single to

take a 1-0 lead.

The Wings took advantage of wildness - and perhaps nervousness - from Kendrick in the second inning, waiting out three walks to load the

bases with two out. A single by Hicks up the middle, on a full count pitch, drove in two runs and the Wings took the lead 2-1.

Hamburger gave up a triple to start the Scranton half of the third inning, but retired the next three batters to strand the runner and keep the

Wings' lead intact.

Three straight hits to open the fourth inning spelled the end to Kendrick's night on the mound. Ortizsingled, Jose Martinez followed with a

double, and James Beresford's RBI single moved the Wings ahead 3-1. Hicks drilled a triple to right-center that brought home two more runs

and a 5-1 lead - giving Hicks a double, single, and triple in his first three at-bats.

The RailRiders picked up a run with two outs in the fourth, cutting the lead to 5-2 Rochester. But Ortiz countered with a long, two-out home

run to right field in the top of the fifth to make it 6-2.

Scranton put together a rally in their half of the fifth, scoring two runs with two outs and chasing Hamburger from the game. A.J.

Achter relieved Hamburger and issued a walk to load the bases, then struck out Jonathan Galvez to end the rally.

Hamburger's line: 4 2/3 innings pitched, nine hits, four earned runs and two walks to go with six strikeouts. He threw 99 pitches, 64 for

strikes.

The Red Wings' relievers - Achter (win, 1-0) , Caleb Thielbar, Ryan Pressly, and Michael Tonkin(second save) - combined for 4 1/3 scoreless

relief innings, giving the Wings' bullpen 12 2/3 scoreless innings to start the season.

Hicks struck out swinging in the sixth and ninth innings, falling a home run shy of the cycle; Michael Restovich was the last Red Wing to hit for

the cycle, doing it in single-double-triple-home run order on May 8, 2004 at Frontier Field against Durham.

Next up: LHP Pat Dean starts for the Wings against RailRiders RHP Bryan Mitchell when the teams meet Tuesday at 6:35 p.m.

Eades sharp as bats bash Yankees, 11-4, on the road

Fort Myers Miracle | MiLB.com | April 13, 2015

TAMPA, Fla. (April 13, 2015) - The Fort Myers Miracle offense exploded for 11 runs on 13 hits in a series opening 11-4 win over the Tampa Yankees on Monday night at Steinbrenner Field. Miracle starter Ryan Eades made a successful Florida State League debut with six scoreless frames. Eades (1-0) scattered five hits and two walks with three strikeouts. The onslaught began in the first inning when the Miracle plated three runs off Tampa starter Jhon Morban. Niko Goodrum led off with a walk and moved to second on a ground ball out by Engelb Vielma. With Mitch Garver at the plate, Goodrum swiped third base. Morban (0-1) issued Garver a walk to put runners on the corners. Alex Swim then bounced a first pitch through the right side to score Goodrum. Chad Christensen followed with an infield hit to load the bases up. Aderling Mejia then secured a second run with a sacrifice fly into center field to bring in Garver. Jason Kanzler then rolled a chopper to first base. Matt Snyder fielded, but Morban dropped the toss and Swim raced home, 3-0. Fort Myers tagged Morban for two more runs in the second. Michael Quesada led off by drawing a walk and moved to third on a double down the right field line by Goodrum. Vielma reached on an error by Snyder at first to load the bases. Mitch Garver watched four pitches sail outside the strike zone to force in a run with a bases loaded walk. Swim followed with a ground out to first base that brought in Goodrum to push the Miracle lead to 5-0. Chad Christensen notched one of his two RBI hits in the fourth inning with a two-out double into right field. After Garver doubled into center and Swim rolled out to short, Christensen smacked a 1-2 pitch from Tamp reliever Matt Wotherspoon into the corner to plate Garver. Two innings later, Garver tallied his second RBI of the night with his second double. On a 1-2 pitch from Philip Walby, Garver sent a drive into right field that one-hopped the wall and scored Vielma from first, 7-0. The Miracle erased any doubt in the seventh with a four run, five hit inning. Sending nine batters to the plate, the Miracle got RBI hits from Vielma and Christensen while Swim knocked in a run on a fielder's choice. Swim finished 1-for-5 with a team-high three RBI and extended his hitting streak to five games to start the season. Goodrum went 2-for-4 with three runs scored and one driven in, registering his fourth multi-hit game of the season. Garver finished the night 2-for-3 and reached base five times with a pair of doubles and RBI. Christensen was 3-for-5 with a double. Marcus Knecht and Michael Quesada each had two hits. Todd Van Steensel tossed two scoreless innings in relief of Eades, but the shutout was lost in the ninth. Miracle reliever J.T. Chargois allowed four runs on five hits while only recording one out. Madison Boer entered the game and retired the final two hitters of the game.
