Game 1: Worcester Red Sox 6, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 5 (BOX)

Worcester played two seven-inning games against the RailRiders (NYY) on Sunday. In Game One, the Woo Sox fell behind early, 3-0. Kyle Harrison got the “start” but went one inning, allowing a run, presumably pitching a side day in case he’s needed in Boston on Wednesday. David Sandlin threw the next two innings, allowing two runs, which included a home run and three walks. Sandlin has not handled the switch to the bullpen well and now has an 8.79 ERA in 14 1/3 innings (11 appearances) in that role, which he switched to on August 5th. Prior to that date, between AA and AAA, Sandlin had a 3.50 ERA in 87 1/3 innings.

Fortunately, the Woo Sox clawed back thanks to a multi-home run game from Nathan Hickey (15, 16). Mikey Rom
