Rochester Red Wings Rout the Durham Bulls 14-1, Francisco Liriano Victorious

MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com – DURHAM, NC—The Bulls knew they would need to play a crisp game if they were to defeat Francisco Liriano and the Red Wings Thursday at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, but a poor start by Ben Hendrickson allowed the game to feel out of reach before Durham came up to bat and Rochester won by a final score of 14-1.

Rochester sent 10 batters to the plate in their six-run first inning, and they tacked on three more in the second to seal Durham’s fate early. They added five more runs off the bullpen, pounding a total of 18 hits on the evening. Hendrickson (7-6, 4.52) took the loss in five innings, allowing 12 hits, nine runs—eight earned—and a walk with two strikeouts.

Liriano (7-2, 3.53) was stellar in seven innings, allowing only three hits and a walk while fanning eight Bulls. Durham’s only run came when Jon Weber tripled off Carmen Cali in the eighth to score Fernando Perez.
