Torres would score on a wild pitch to make it 5-1. A flyout would end the eighth. Matt Hague would hit a one out single but a strikeout and a forceout would give the Railriders the 5-1 victory over the Rochester Red Wings.

Thoughts on the game: Gleyber Torres is starting to adjust to Triple-A pitching. He looked great in this series overall, he went 2 for 4 with a double that broke the game open. Clint Frazier had a great game as well for the Railriders, he went 3 for 5 and had a double and would score later in the game. Caleb Smith had a great game on the mound, striking out seven and only giving up an unearned run. David Hurlbut had a great game on the mound for Rochester, despite the loss. He struck out 11.

News: Kyle Higashioka came off the DL and Wilkin Castillo was sent down to Trenton. The Yankees announced that Greg Bird will be on a rehab assignment with the Railriders starting tomorrow.
