Red Sox Minor Lines: Jhonathan Diaz leads the day for Salem

Gorkys Hernández, CF: 0-5, 2 K

Josh Ockimey, 1B: 1-2, 2 BB

Chandler Shepherd: 5 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 9 K (97 pitches)

This game was closer than the final score may indicate, with the PawSox jumping out to a 1-0 lead before falling behind 5-1. They did close the gap to 5-4 in the fifth, but eventually a three-run eighth put the game away for Lehigh Valley. The pitching was not great for Pawtucket, with Shepherd missing plenty of bats but still getting killed by a couple of home runs.
