ROCHESTER, N.Y. — All nine starters had at least one hit as the Rochester Red Wings trounced the Syracuse Mets, 13-6, Thursday afternoon at Frontier Field.
Luis Garcia set the tone with a two-run home run in the first and the Wings (11-9) never looked back. The homer was Garcia’s third in four plate appearances dating back to Tuesday’s game and his team-leading fifth of the season.
Rochester pulled away in the fifth scoring four runs, courtesy of a Josh Palacios two-run double and a Richard Urena two-run single.
Joey Meneses added the exclamation point with a two-run shot in the sixth inning – his fourth long ball of the season – to make it 11-3.
Dee Strange-Gordon went 1-for-4 with a run scored in his second rehab game with the Red Wings.
Donovan Casey, Garcia, and Palacios all had mulit-hit afternoons for Rochester.
Jefry Rodriguez got the start and struck out nine over 4 1/3 innings. Reed Garrett earned the win tossing 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief behind Rodriguez.
Game three of the series is Friday night at 6:05 pm.
