Canaries Win Back‑to‑Back High‑Scoring Games to Close Gap on RedHawks
Consecutive big innings followed by RedHawks pitching control problems have tightened the American Association West race.
Overview
- In the series opener Fargo‑Moorhead rallied for a 4-3 win after Jose Sermo hit his 28th home run and later scored on a throwing error to break a tie.
- Sioux Falls responded with a 12-10 victory in the second game as Josh Rehwaldt homered and drove in five runs while the RedHawks' pitchers issued eight walks and hit three batters.
- The Canaries blew the third game open with a seven‑run third inning in a 13-4 win that saw Edinson Batista exit after 2.1 innings and Garrett Martin record a six‑inning win for Sioux Falls.
- The series has been defined by late rallies and short starts, with Fargo‑Moorhead’s bullpen and control problems repeatedly deciding outcomes and a RedHawks starter leaving a start early with a leg issue.
- With the teams separated by roughly a half game in the West, Monday’s final game will shape playoff positioning as both clubs manage pitching depth and roster moves.
