Mound Presence
Left-hander Rodney Boone shut out the Senators for the first three innings. In the fourth, he hit a batter, walked another and gave up a game-tying single to catcher Onix Vega. Right-hander Andrew Walters entered to record four outs, striking out the side in the fifth. Right-hander Jordan Jones pitched a perfect sixth inning before walking the first three batters in the seventh, when right-hander Trey Benton entered and allowed the inherited runners to score on two hits. Benton also allowed two runs – one earned – in the eighth that tied the game, 6-6. Right-hander Tyler Thornton pitched a perfect ninth inning but allowed three runs – two earned – on three hits and two walks in the 10th. Right-hander Lenny Torres Jr., with help from a fly-ball double play by left fielder Christian Cairo pitched a scoreless 11th and then retired all three batters in the 12th to earn his first Double-A win and extend his 13-game, 16 1/3-inning scoreless season.
