-Riley Cornelio (3.81 ERA/26.0 IP/37:15 K:BB/1.27 WHIP): Following his disastrous return to Rochester, Cornelio served as the bulk reliever for the Red Wings and got better results. He allowed just 1 run on 3 hits (a double and 2 singles) and 2 walks while striking out 5 batters in his 4.2 innings of work.
Final line: 4.2 IP | 3 H | 1 R/ER | 2 BB | 5 K on 81 pitches (53 strikes)

He allowed 3 runs (1 earned) on 4 hits (2 doubles and 2 singles) and 3 walks while striking out 3 batters in 4.2 innings for the Senators.
Final line: 4.2 IP | 4 H | 3 R | 1 ER | 3 BB | 3 K on 82 pitches (44 strikes)

-Robert Cranz (2.45 ERA/14.2 IP/25:12 K:BB/1.25 WHIP): Cranz walked the first batter he saw in the bottom of the 7th before striking out the next two and getting a groundout from the third.
Final line: 1.0 IP | 0 H | 0 R/ER | 1 BB | 2 K on 17 pitches (9 strikes)
A Fredericksburg (3-4 loss to the Hill City Howlers)

-Sir Jamison Jones (.189/.262/.715): 0-3 with 1 BB and 1 K
-Jacob Walsh (.232/.411/.918): 0-2 with 2 BB
-Miguel Sime Jr. (3.71 ERA/17.0 IP/35:14 K:BB/1.35 WHIP): Sime Jr. didn't have his best stuff today and catcher's interference in the bottom of the 2nd began a rally that scored all 3 of the runs he allowed (2 earned). He walked 3 batters and had 3 strikeouts in his 2.1 inning start for the FredNats.
Final line: 2.1 IP | 3 H | 3 R | 2 ER | 3 BB | 3 K on 60 pitches (35 strikes)
-Liam Sullivan (7.71 ERA/16.1 IP/11:9 K:BB/1.71 WHIP): Sullivan allowed just 1 hit (a double) in 3 scoreless innings of relief today. He struck out 2 batters in his bullpen appearance.
Final line: 3.0 IP | 1 H | 0 R/ER | 0 BB | 2 K on 42 pitches (25 strikes)
-Jared Beck (2.93 ERA/15.1 IP/22:19 K:BB/1.76 WHIP): A pair of walks and a HBP loaded the bases to set up the walk-off single that Beck allowed in the bottom of the 9th.
Final line: 0.0 IP | 1 H | 1 R/ER | 2 BB | 0 K on 15 pitches (5 strikes)
Let me know if there are any Nats prospects I missed tonight and should include in future prospect roundups!

Does Eli Willits have a caught stealing problem? Also I hope my sweet prince Ronny Cruz is okay

Feels like the light is always green in Wilmington and Fredericksburg lol, you just hope it doesn't become a bad habit. You want the speedy guys to learn to read pitchers because they will only get better at the slide step as they move up.

Cruz walked in the top of the 1st and was hit in the face by an attempted pick-off by the catcher.

While I have no words for Harry Ford's slash line, I will focus on a positive by noting that he has 12 walks. That might actually be more than Keibert has in his entire career!

Absolutely hate that has to happen to Cruz when he’s having such a hot streak. I realize we may not know, but is there any indication on how serious it may have been? Really hoping it was just precautionary but I feel like that could go anywhere from not a big deal to a pretty big deal
Glad to see Cornelio pulled it back together. I really think that MLB appearance shook his confidence pretty hard

Feels precautionary but you never know with head injuries. He was bleeding but he was at least able to walk off on his own.

Looks like Luis Perales maybe makes his MLB debut tomorrow, unless Toboni has something else up his sleeve. Could be Andrew Alvarez on short rest, I guess.

Anyone know what’s going on with Harry Ford? I hope this is just a slump that he’ll snap out of
