Parker Meadows and Gage Workman stay hot as Erie keeps pace with the Baysox

The Mud Hens took down the Red Wings again on Sunday, completely a 5-1 series victory with a strong performance from the bullpen.

Joey Wentz made another short start in this one, as the Tigers remain careful with him following a nearly two month absence in the middle of the season for shoulder trouble. Wentz allowed a run on five hits and a walk over three innings of work, with three strikeouts. Zac Houston took over in the fourth, but surrendered a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth, departing in favor of Cody Sedlock.

The Hens staked Wentz to an early lead when Brendon Davis doubled home Ali Sanchez in the top of the first.
