HARRISBURG, P.A — The New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, won their fourth straight road game, defeating the Harrisburg Senators 7-2 at FNB Field on Thursday night.
On the mound, Chad Dallas (2-0) got the start for New Hampshire, throwing six strong innings, allowing only one run on two hits and one walk while striking out five, receiving his second Double-A win. In two Double-A road starts this season, Dallas has allowed just one earned run through 11 innings pitched.

Damiano Palmegiani extended his hit streak to a team-long nine games with a 3-for-5 day at the plate and a home run shy of the cycle. It was Palmegiani’s second three-hit game at the Double-A level and his team-leading 13th multi-hit performance.
Riley Tirotta collected a pair of RBIs and now has eight RBIs in nine games played this season.
Seven of the 10 Fisher Cats hits went for extra bases (five doubles, two triples).
