TWO GAMES UP: With their fifth series victory on the season, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders remain on top of the International League with a Minor League leading 27 wins. The team holds a two-game lead over Omaha.
KEEP IT GOING- Caleb Durbin extended his on-base streak to 16 games on Sunday with a pair of base hits. Teammate Greg Allen is also riding a twelve-game on-base streak with going 1-3 in his last contest. Carlos Narvaez also reached 11 consecutive games on-base with his eighth double of the season. Luis González finished his tenure in the Yankees system with hitting in ten straight contests.
MISCUE MESS- SWB committed eleven errors in their six-game set last week, tying Lehigh Valley for the most on the week. The team has now totalled 38 miscues, which is now most made on the season in the International League. The Tampa Tarpons have recorded 62 errors for the most in the minors. The RailRiders are 13-1 when they do not make an error, but 6-5 when they record two or more in a single game. However, they have not made more than three errors in a contest this season.
MAURICIO MAGIC – Alex Mauricio snapped his scoreless streak at 11.2 innings after letting up an unearned run in his last appearance on Sunday. Prior he worked six straight scoreless appearances with the RailRiders dating back to April 16. Mauricio, 27, has pitched 12.1 innings allowing just 14 hits and two walks while striking out 21. The righty holds a 1.59 ERA in 17.0 frames, letting up earned runs in only one of his outings. Mauricio was originally drafted by NYY in the 27th round of 2017, but retired on Decemeber 13, 2019.

In 32.0 innings, Alexander has allowed four home runs and 14 walks while securing 29 strikeouts.
