Hanifee allowed an unearned run after a Max Anderson error kept the third inning going, but that was it. Tanner Rainey also fired a scoreless inning of work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Jace Jung singled in the top of the third and later scored on an Anderson single to open the scoring, so it was 1-1 game early on. In the fourth, Gage Workman led off with a walk and moved to third on John Peck\u2019s single. A wild pitch later brought Workman in as the go-ahead, and ultimately the game winning run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">In the sixth, Workman again led off with a walk and advanced on a Callahan single. Singles from Corey Julks and then Jung brought both runners in for a 4-1 lead, and that was all that was required.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Workman: 1-2, 2 R, 2 BB, CS<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Little: 2.0 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 3 K<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Coming Up Next: It\u2019s a 6:45 p.m. ET start in Worcester on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Erie SeaWolves 10, Binghamton Rumble Ponies 2 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.milb.com\/gameday\/rumble-ponies-vs-seawolves\/2026\/06\/23\/818735\/final\/box?adobe_mc=TS%3D1782265348%7CMCMID%3D29994012674773167980881820396881121119%7CMCORGID%3DA65F776A5245B01B0A490D44%40AdobeOrg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">box<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Jack Flaherty looked good to go, and the SeaWolves offense cracked four home runs in this one as Thayron Liranzo and Izaac Pacheco continue to do a lot of damage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Flaherty allowed a pair of solo shots, but otherwise went 5.2 innings allowing just those two runs, and only one other hit. He struck out seven and threw 83 pitches, so he\u2019s seemingly ready to return when eligible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Liranzo lifted a towering solo shot to right in the fourth inning with two outs to tie the game up 1-1. Chris Meyers followed with a double, and Garrett Pennington showed out in his Double-A debut, mashing a two-run shot the opposite way for a 3-1 lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Pacheco followed him with an absolutely monstrous blast to right center field. The third baseman\u2019s 12th shot of the year made it a 4-1 game, but the SeaWolves weren\u2019t done in the inning. Max Burt singled and E.J. Exposito also went yard for a 6-0 lead. All of that with two outs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Liranzo doubled with two-outs in the fifth as well, scoring on a Meyers double. In the seventh, three walks loaded the bases for the SeaWolves and Pennington cashed in two of them with a line drive single to center field. 9-2 SeaWolves, and they would tack on a run in the eighth when Burt singled, took second on a balk, and then scored on an Exposito single.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Lael Lockhart cruised through the final three innings to put this one away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Liranzo: 2-3, 2 R, RBI, 2B, HR, BB<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Pennington: 2-4, R, 4 RBI, HR, K<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Meyers: 2-4, R, RBI, 2 2B, K<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Flaherty: 5.2 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, BB, 7 K<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Coming Up Next: It\u2019s a 6:05 p.m. ET start at UPMC Park on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Dayton Dragons: 8, West Michigan Whitecaps 5 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.milb.com\/gameday\/whitecaps-vs-dragons\/2026\/06\/23\/820070\/final\/box\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">box<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The offense had a pretty good night, but they still failed to capitalize on plenty of scoring opportunities in this one. Meanwhile the bullpen crumbled to lose a close game late.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Zack Lee gave the \u2018Caps a nice spot start, tossing three shutout innings with five strikeouts to start things off right.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Whitecaps loaded the bases in the first but couldn\u2019t score. In the second, Samuel Gil led off and Patrick Lee walked with one out. Woody Hadeen grounded into a force of Lee, but Bryce Rainer smoked a drive to center field to plate both runs for a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Juanmi Vasquez took over for the \u2018Caps in the fourth and was promptly knocked around for four runs. He did get some help from Hadeen and Rainer to escape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">So it was 4-2 Dragons in the top of the sixth. Patrick Lee led off with a double and Rainer and Ricardo Hurtado walked to load the bases. Lee scored on a Jackson Strong ground out, and after the Dragons went to the pen, the new reliever balked in Rainer from third. So it was all tied up at 4-4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Patrick Lee would launch a solo shot in the eighth, completing a heck of a return to action after a rehab stint in the Complex League.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Unfortunately, Eliseo Mota\u2019s High-A debut saw him allow a run in two innings of work. Carlos Lequerica then crumbled for a three-run bottom of the eighth that was the difference in this one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Lee: 2-4, 2 R, RBI, 2B, HR, BB<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Rainer: 2-4, R, 2 RBI, 2B, BB, K<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Zack Lee: 3.0 IP, 0 R, 3 H, BB, 5 K<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Coming Up Next: The Whitecaps look to even the series at 7:05 p.m. ET in Dayton on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Dayton Dragons 6, Lakeland Flying Tigers 2 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.milb.com\/gameday\/flying-tigers-vs-tortugas\/2026\/06\/23\/820733\/final\/box\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">box<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Grayson Grinsell settled in for a good start after allowing two runs in the first, but the bullpen kept leaking and the offense didn\u2019t get much going in this one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The left-hander scattered five hits without a walk, striking out five. Jorge Guzman allowed three runs in the sixth, and Jan Carabello allowed a run in the seventh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Meanwhile the offense was doing very little. Carson Rucker stayed hot with three hits, and the team drew five walks, but they were 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Finally in the eighth, Edian Espinal singled and took second on a throwing error. The young catcher holds a .936 OPS this year. With one out, Jude Warwick singled him in and then he took second on a passed ball. Jesus Pinto struck out, but another wild pitch got Warwick to third, and a bliner from Rucker scored the run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">That was about it for the offense though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Grinsell (L, 4-3): 5.0 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 0 BB, 5 K<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Coming Up Next: It\u2019s a 6:35 p.m. ET start on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>FCL Tigers 10, FCL Yankees 6 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.milb.com\/gameday\/fcl-tigers-vs-fcl-yankees\/2026\/06\/23\/843857\/final\/box\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">box<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Jhonan Coba was knocked around for the first time, giving up six runs over four innings of work. The bullpen, however, was nails and the Tigers blew up the Yankees with a seven run fourth inning and pulled away to win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Cristian Perez homered and had two hits, while Steven Madero chipped in three of his own. Cris Rodriguez and Santiago Pinto drove in five runs between them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Pinto: 2-4, R, 3 RBI, K, CS<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Rodriguez: 1-2, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2 BB, K, SB<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Perez: 2-3, 2 R, 2 RBI, HR, K<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Coba: 4.0 IP, 6 ER, 4 H, 3 BB, 2 K<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toledo Mud Hens 4, Worcester Red Sox 1 (box) The Mud Hens got a great performance out of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179219,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[76693,136,138,137],"class_list":["post-226706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-erie","tag-detroit-tigers-prospects-minor-leagues","tag-erie","tag-erie-headlines","tag-erie-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226706\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
