The Rochester Red Wings kept things rolling Friday night, beating the Worcester Red Sox 6-3 in Triple-A action. The win is a solid result for a Wings squad competing in a loaded International League East, and they’ll take any ground they can get this time of year.
In the majors, the Toronto Blue Jays handed the New York Yankees an 8-5 loss, with Okamoto and Springer each going deep to power the offense. The Yankees entered the night at 41-27, so it’s not a damaging blow to a team with plenty of cushion, but the Blue Jays — sitting at 34-36 — needed the win far more and got it. For Toronto, still chasing a wild card spot, beating a division rival carries extra weight.
No other tracked regional teams were in action Friday. The Bills, Sabres, Giants, Rangers, Knicks, and Knighthawks were all idle, and the college programs are in their offseasons.
