Ross wins second in a row for Syracuse; Skole leaves game
By Byron Kerr
A positive start for Joe Ross on Wednesday night for Triple-A Syracuse.
Ross pitched seven innings and allowed one run, scattering eight hits. He walked one and struck out six for his second win in a row, a 7-5 victory at Buffalo. He threw 99 pitches, 64 for strikes. He is now 2-2 with a 4.88 ERA.
After Dustin Antolin struggled, Joe Nathan notched two outs for his fourth save of the season.
Those on the ground report that Ross was pretty consistent throughout. He consistently hit 91-93 mph.
Ross came up to the Nationals April 19 and pitched seven innings in a win over Atlanta. But in his next two outings, he allowed 10 runs in 8 2/3 innings and was unable to maintain good velocity.
Jhonatan Solano crushed his first grand slam and Clint Robinson hit a two-run shot for the Chiefs offense.
Matt Skole went 1-for-3, but left the game late with what appeared to be a hamstring issue. There's no update on his status.
