LAST TIME OUT: Brooklyn and Aberdeen had their game suspended after three and a half innings due to rain on Friday...With the IronBirds holding a 1-0 lead entering the bottom of the fourth, the umpires ushered players off the field before the half-inning started due to rain and lightning...After a 46-minute delay, the game was suspended...DH Nick Morabito began the game with a first-pitch triple but was stranded at third base...Aberdeen scored the game's only run in the second when LF Reed Trimble walked, stole second, advanced to third on a ground out, and scored on a two-out SS Jalen Vasquez single...LHP Felipe De La Cruz tossed 3.0 innings of one-hit, one-run ball for Brooklyn, striking out four...RHP Levi Wells and LHP Deivy Cruz each struck out two in scoreless innings to start for Aberdeen…RHP Nestor German followed with two perfect frames in his High-A debut for Aberdeen.

 

THIS DATE IN CYCLONES' HISTORY: On August 3, 2003, the Cyclones honored Jackie Robinson and his No. 42 in a pre-game ceremony on Coney Island...Rachel Robinson, Jackie's widow, was on hand to celebrate the occasion...Appropriately, that night, Stacy Bennett became the first player in franchise history to steal home...In 2008, after trading runs in the ninth inning, Brooklyn scored two in the top of the 13th on a CF Sean Ratliff ground-rule double and a SS Matt Smith squeeze bunt in a 5-3 win at Staten Island...In 2012, RHP Luis Cessa (5.0 IP), RHP Matt Bowman (3.0), and LHP John  Mincone (1.0) combined on a two-hit shutout in a 3-0 win vs. Connecticut...In 2016, RHPs Harol González (7.0 IP) and Gary Cornish (2.0) united for a four-hit shutout in a 3-0 win at Hudson Valley...In 2023, 1B Ryan Clifford blasted a two-run home run in the top of the first inning his first at-bat as a member of the Mets' organization...RHP Jawilme Ramírez pitched into the ninth inning in his High-A debut, as Brooklyn won 6-3 at Jersey Shore.


A BREAK IN THE ACTION: Friday's suspended game marked the first for the Cyclones since the 2022 season...Brooklyn had not played a game halted mid-contest since Game 1 of a doubleheader on May 14, 2022, vs. Wilmington...That contest was delayed at the start due to rain and ultimately suspended before the beginning of the top of the third due to fog with Wilmington leading, 2-1...The Blue Rocks won the game the following day, May 15, 3-2, in nine innings.

 

YOU SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY: RHP Luis G. Moreno celebrates his 26th birthday on Saturday...The Santa Rosa, Colombia native was assigned to the Cyclones on July 12...After picking up the win on Thursday, Moreno is 2-1 with a 5.23 ERA (6 ER in 10.1 IP), six walks, and 10 strikeouts in five relief outings.
