Tremendous pitching by Stephen Gonsalves and company for the Lookouts.  Travis Blankenhorn has a good day for Fort Myers.  The Manfred Rule doesn't help if your runner gets picked off second.  The Red Wings just want to play.

BUFFALO AT ROCHESTER

Wet grounded out.

CHATTANOOGA 2, BIRMINGHAM 0 IN CHATTANOOGA

Edgar Corcino's sacrifice fly brought home a run in the third and Sean Miller singled home a run in the seventh.  Stephen Gonsalves and three relievers took it from there, limiting the Barons to just one hit.

Nick Gordon was 1-for-2 with a double and two walks.  Tanner English was 1-for-2 with a double.  Gonsalves pitched 5.1 scoreless, hitless innings, giving up three walks and striking out three.  Tyler Jay struck out two in 1.2 scoreless innings of relief, giving up the only Birmingham hit.  Zack Jones pitched a scoreless inning, walking two and striking out one.  Ryne Harper struck out all three batters he faced in the ninth.

CHARLOTTE 8, FORT MYERS 4 IN CHARLOTTE

CEDAR RAPIDS 4, QUAD CITIES 3 IN CEDAR RAPIDS

Jonathan Arauz singled home a run in the ninth to tie it 3-3 and put the Manfred Rule in play.  The River Bandits got first chance, but their first batter flied out and then their runner got picked off second.  For the Kernels, a fielder's choice moved the runner to third and Alex Kirilloff delivered a sacrifice fly to win the game.
