The Rochester Red Wings took their second straight win in a crucial series against the Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on Thursday, 10-5, using a six-run sixth to move to four games back in the race for the second-half International League playoff race.<\/p>\n

Down 5-2 heading into the sixth, the Red Wings began their comeback against Scranton and reliever Danny Watson<\/a> with a solo home run by Maxwell Romero Jr. to start off the inning and close the gap to 5-3. The next three batters then reached, loading the bases and chasing Watson out of the game to be replaced by Carson Coleman<\/a>. Trey Lipscomb<\/a> kept the hitting coming, though, singling to center to score two and tie the game at five.<\/p>\n

Riley Adams<\/a> then struck the game-winning blow, doubling to right on an 0-1 pitch to score two more runs and give the Red Wings a 7-5 lead. Romero added one more run with his second hit of the inning \u2013 an RBI double with two outs \u2013 to extend the lead to 8-5.<\/p>\n

The Red Wings later added two more runs in the eighth when Romero hit his second home run of the game, a two-run shot that was third in AAA this season.<\/p>\n

On the mound, Rochester right-hander Luis Perales<\/a> allowed five earned-runs on five hits, including a home run to Scranton right-fielder Max Schueman in the fifth to give the RailRiders the 5-2 lead. However, Perales was able to earn the win to move to 6-5 on the season. Riley Cornelio<\/a> (2 IP), Eddy Yean<\/a> (1 IP) and Jack Sinclair<\/a> (1 IP) each held Scranton scoreless in relief.<\/p>\n

On the other side of the game, Yankees\u2019 No. 3 prospect Elmer Rodriguez<\/a> struggled with command, walking in the first run of the game in the first inning and then balking in another to give the Red Wings the early 2-0 lead. The 22-year-old from Puerto Rico ultimately went four innings plus a batter in the fifth, allowing three hits and five walks while striking out six in the no-decision.<\/p>\n

The two squads continue their series on Friday at 7:05 p.m. As of now, the Red Wings have yet to announce their starting pitcher, but Scranton expects to send out righty Adam Kloffenstein<\/a> (2-7, 5.06 ERA).<\/p>\n
