Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders Game One (5-4 win over Columbus) completion of the game that was suspended with two outs in the bottom of the third Tuesday, then again after the top of the fifth yesterday

• SS Abi Avelino: 1-5, 1 R, 2 K
• 1B Tyler Austin: 0-4, 2 K
• RF Billy McKinney: 0-2, 1 R, 2 BB — he was essentially traded between doubleheader games today
• DH Mike Ford: 2-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB — he hit the home run in the original game Tuesday night
• CF Shane Robinson: 1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 SB — he was called up to take Brandon Drury’s spot on the roster, so he was a minor leaguer and a big leaguer in the same day
• RHP Chance Adams: 3 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 3/2 GB/FB — 31 of 57 pitches were strikes (54%) … he started the original game Tuesday before the rain
• RHP Raynel Espinal: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 HR, 0/4 GB/FB — 42 of 63 pitches were strikes (67%) … he pitched yesterday, in the middle portion of this twice suspended game
• LHP Stephen Tarpley: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HR, 6/0 GB/FB — 21 of 31 pitches were strikes (68%) … he “started” the completion of the game today

• LF Mark Payton: 1-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI — took White Sox RHP Michael Kopech deep … Kopech was part of the Chris Sale trade and is one of the top pitching prospects in baseball … with McKinney gone and Robinson called up, Payton’s got a lot of playing time coming his way
