With three clubs idle on Tuesday, action was focused around Lakeland and Connecticut, but Isaac Paredes made his presence felt as well. The Erie SeaWolves infielder shared the top prize in the Eastern League’s home run derby in Richmond. Their All-Star game is set for Thursday.
Elvin Rodriguez threw a strong game, while the offense built an early lead and took the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader. Rodriguez allowed two runs over six innings of work, striking out five Marauders. The Flygers’ bats got things going in the second inning. With a run already in, Reece Hampton came through with a two-RBI triple to make it 3-0.
