Alex Wilson: 0.1 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 1 K

An ugly night of pitching, both for Matt Barnes, who had started off so well in his Pawtucket debut, and Alex Wilson, who's trying to make his way back up to Boston for these last few weeks of the seaosn.

Pawtucket W 3-0

Box Score

Brock Holt: 0-4, K
Bryce Brentz: 0-4, K

Mookie Betts playing it safe with the on-base streak! The win leaves Salem one win shy of giving Boston at least one minor league title.
