Somerset’s only run of the ballgame came on the Everson Pereira solo home run in the 3rd inning.
RHP Blas Castano (5 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 2 K) earned a no-decision in his fourth start of the season.
RHP Steven Jennings (2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K) threw two perfect innings of relief, striking out the side in the eighth inning. Jennings has not allowed a run over his last three outings, dating back to 5/11 @Portland.
RF Brandon Lockridge (2-for-4, SB) had a hit and stolen base (16, T-3) for the third straight game. Since 4/27 Lockridge has now reached safely in each of his last 12 games, hitting .421 over that span.
CF Everson Pereira (2-for-4, HR) homered in the third inning to put the Patriots on the scoreboard. The Yankees No. 4 prospect registered his second straight multi-hit performance and eighth multi-hit game of the season. His solo home run was his fourth over his last eight games.
