BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Behind a three hit night - including a solo home run - from C Chris Suero, the Brooklyn Cyclones defeated the Wilmington Blue Rocks, 6-0, on Tuesday night. The win marks Brooklyn’s 13th shutout victory of the season, extending their franchise record.
Suero was not the only Cyclones player to register three base knocks. LF Kellum Clark finished his night 3-for-3 with a sacrifice fly. The Mississippi State product finished with two runs batted in. Beyond Suero and Clark, all nine Brooklyn starters reached base safely, while seven of nine recorded at least one base hit.
LHP Zach Thornton was stellar for his second straight turn through the rotation. The 2023 Mets draftee tossed 5.1 scoreless innings, striking out six and walking one. The free pass was only the second surrendered in Thornton’s sixth game at the High-A level.
After Thornton, a quartet of relievers, including a pair of minor league rehabbers, silenced the Wilmington bats the rest of the way. RHPs Alan Perdomo, Kyle Crick, Ty Adock and Justin Lawson combined on 3.2 scoreless relief innings. The group pinched out a combined five while walking just two.
Brooklyn got the scoring started right from the jump. After the first two men reached to start the game, Suero began the run scoring with an RBI base knock.
One inning later, Clark kickstarted his productive night at the plate with a sacrifice fly.
In the home half of the fifth, the ‘Clones began a stretch of four straight frames with a run. First, with a runner on second and two outs, Suero came home to score all the way from second on a throwing error committed by Willmington SS Armando Cruz.
In the sixth, Clark powered a grounder through the left side for an RBI single to make it a 4-0 ballgame.
Suero’s solo blast to left pushed the Brooklyn lead to five in the seventh.
The ‘Clones put the finishing touches on things in the eighth, when DH Estarling Mercado scored on an RBI fielder’s choice from SS Boston Baro in his Maimonides Park debut.
Brooklyn and Wilmington return to action on Wednesday night from Maimonides Park. First pitch is set for 7:00. RHP Saul Garcia (NR) takes the ball for Brooklyn, where he’ll oppose Blue Rocks RHP Bryan Caceres (3-8, 4.97 ERA).
It was a RUFF start on Bark in the Park for Wilmington as the first three Cyclones reached - capped by Chris Suero's RBI single.
