Pawtucket Red Sox LHP Josh D. Smith (6-5, 3.34) vs. Syracuse Chiefs RHP Brdy Dragmire (1-5, 8.39)

Series and Quick Trip Finale – The look for a split tonight when they play the finale of their 4-game series (and roadtrip) against the Syracuse Chiefs (AAA-Washington) this evening at 6:35 pm at NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse, NY. The PawSox got on the board in this series – and in the process snapped their 8-game road losing streak – with an 8-1 victory last night. It was Pawtucket’s first road win since July 16 in Charlotte. The Chiefs had won a pair of 1- decisions during the first two games of this set by scores of 11-10 in 13-innings on Monday and 3-2 on Tuesday.

Swan Song - The PawSox are meeting Syracuse tonight for the final time this season and the last time while the Chiefs are an affiliate of the . Syracuse will be a Mets affiliate in 2019 and that will likely include a name change for this iconic franchise that has been in the for 104 seasons now (consecutively since 1961).

The Road Home – Pawtucket will be right back at McCoy this coming weekend for a 3-game set against the . The PawSox host Rochester tomorrow (Friday) at 7:05 pm on Gnome-ar Garciaparra Garden Gnome Night for the first 3,000 fans; Saturday at 6:15 pm (on Super Heroes Night with another post-game fireworks spectacular); and Sunday at 1:35 pm (with the 21st Annual PawSox FanFest following the game). That brief 3-game series will constitue the next PawSox homestand and will leave the club with just three homestands remaining (August 13-19, August 28-30, and September 2 & 3).

What Have You Done for Me Lately – The PawSox are 3-3 in their last 6 games but they are 4-11 since July 17. Included during that stretch was a season-high 6-game losing streak from July 17-22…Pawtucket’s longest since an 8-game losing streak just about a year ago (last July 29 – August 6). They have not won more than two in a row since a 3-game winning streak from July 14-16.

Trending – The PawSox (now at 49-58) were a season-low 10-games below .500 on Tuesday (at 48-58) for the first time in almost three years since they ended the 2015 season with a 59-85 record.

Sad Finish – Pawtucket’s recent 8-game road losing skid (July 17-31) included 6 defeats that occurred in walk-off fashion for the opposition as well as 6 losses by 1-run. Overall the Sox have lost 12 games during a last AB while winning 10 times during their own last AB.

Home Has Been Sweet, But Road Bumpy – The PawSox have won 5 of their last 8 games at home dating back to July 14 & 15 vs. Syracuse. Pawtucket is 14-10 at McCoy since June 19. The PawSox are 29-26 at home after equaling their season-high of 4-games over .500 at McCoy on Saturday (also from June 24 and July 24). The Sox are 20-32 on the road and have dropped 8 of 9 away games and 13 of their last 17 on the road since June 26.

Bye to July - The PawSox concluded July with a 10-16 record in which they battled in a wave of close games. Pawtucket finished the month 2-9 in one-run games, 1-4 in , and lost 7 games in the opponents’ final at-bat in July. It marked their third consecutive losing month...they went 11-10 in April, but then 13-17 in May, 14-15 in June, and 10-16 in July. The Sox batted .251 in July with 15 HR in 26 games while posting a 3.54 ERA. They will wind up playing 30 games in 31 days in August with two scheduled off-days (August 6 & 20) along with two games on August 21 in Rochester (including the completion of a suspended game from July 5).

NEXT ON TAP - The probable pitching match-ups for the upcoming series vs. Rochester:

Fri. 7:05 pm (YurView on COX) LHP Stephen Gonsalves (7-3, 3.04) vs. RHP (7-6, 3.57) Sat. 6:15 pm (myRITV) RHP (0-3, 3.60) vs. RHP (5-7, 3.66) Sun. 1:35 pm (myRITV) RHP Fernando Romero (3-3, 3.06) vs. RHP Josh A. Smith (2-4, 4.62) Chief Among Us - Pawtucket is 10-7 this season vs. Syracuse (5-5 in Syracuse and finishing 5-2 in Pawtucket). The PawSox went 15-5 vs. the Chiefs last year. These clubs met a total of 10 times over about a one month span from June 11 through July 15. This series in Syracuse has included a wild, 11-10 win in 13-innings for the Chiefs on Monday; a well-played, 3-2 Syracuse victory on Tuesday; and an 8-1 PawSox triumph on Wednesday. Before this week, the teams most recently faced each other just after the All- Star break for a 4-game series at McCoy Stadium with the PawSox taking 3 of those 4 games. The Sox won the opener 7-3 on July 12, the Chiefs rebounded with a 6-3 win the next night, and the Sox took the series with weekend wins by 4-0 and 5-3 scores (the finale on July 15 a walk-off 5-3 victory on a 10th-inning 2-run HR from ). Syracuse did not make their first visit to McCoy this season until June 22-24 with the PawSox taking 2 of 3 that weekend. Overall these two teams will face each other 18 times this season…11 in Syracuse and 7 in Pawtucket.

2018 Season-Series vs. Syracuse – Before their last meeting from July 12-15, the PawSox won 2 of 3 over the Chiefs at McCoy from June 22-24…the Sox won the opener, 5-4; the Chiefs were 5-3 winners the next night; and the PawSox rolled to an 8-1 victory in the rubber game on the afternoon of June 24. Pawtucket had previously swept a 3-game series in Syracuse from June 11-13. The PawSox won by scores of 3-1, 5-3 (rallying for 3 runs in the top of the 9th to win that game) and then completed the sweep with a 5-1 victory on June 13. Syracuse took 3 of 4 from the PawSox one month prior to that at NBT Bank Stadium in their first series against each other. The Chiefs won the opener on May 10, 6-4; the Sox notched their only victory of the series the next night, 12-2; but Syracuse won both games over the weekend by 6-5 and 9-1 scores on May 12 & 13.

Stats vs. the ‘Cuse - The Sox are hitting .274 in the 17 games vs. the Chiefs (163-for-594) with 12 HR (4 by Lind, 2 by Tavarez, and 1 each from Ohlman, Olt, De Jesus, Hernandez, Renda, and ) and have scored 90 runs (5.3 runs/game). Sox vs. the Chiefs are 10-7 with a 3.40 ERA (58 ER in 153.1 IP) allowing 65 runs (with 10 homers for Syracuse).

2017 Season-Series vs. Syracuse – Pawtucket will not match the success against Syracuse this season that they did last year when they went 15-5 vs. the Chiefs including a 9-1 record at NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse. The PawSox were actually 15-2 at one point vs. Syracuse last season before getting swept in a 3-game set last August 1-3 vs. the Chiefs at McCoy. The 15 wins in 2017 against one opponent in a season tied a PawSox franchise-record…the Sox have won 15 games against an International League club on a couple of occasions – most recently prior to last year when they went 15-1 vs. Lehigh Valley in 2008 – but they have never won 16 games vs. another IL team in a single season.

Series Business – Pawtucket – down 2-1 in this 4-game set at Syracuse – most recently won 2 of 3 at home vs. Charlotte over the weekend. Before that they had endured three consecutive series losses as they dropped 3 of 4 at Charlotte and were swept in a 3- game set at Gwinnett during their last roadtrip, and went 1-2 vs. the Clippers earlier last week to begin their past homestand. The PawSox have been swept in a series four times this season (suffering three 3-game sweeps and a 2-game sweep). Pawtucket did take 3 of 4 at home over Syracuse from July 12-15 at McCoy to win a series (of multiple games) for the first time since taking 2 of 3 from the Chiefs at McCoy from June 22-24. Pawtucket is 12-18-4 in their 34 series this season (12 wins, 18 losses, and 4 splits). They have posted three 3-game sweeps this season along with a 2-game sweep and a 1-game sweep (in Rochester on July 4).

Nice While it Lasted - After winning on June 25, the PawSox went over the .500 mark at 38-37 for the first time since May 8. On May 6 the Sox had matched their season-high of 3-games over the .500 mark (15-12) from April 28 when they were 11-8. They also (for one night anyway on June 25) moved into sole possession of 2nd-place in the IL North for the first time since they were alone in 1st-place on May 11. Pawtucket is now tied for 3rd-place in the IL North as they trail Lehigh Valley by 17-games after being a season- high -17½ GB on Tuesday (the IronPigs own the best record in the league).

North Face - From June 11 July 15 the PawSox played 31 straight games against IL North rivals. The Sox had been playing outside their division from July 16 through July 29 before returning to IL North foes this past Monday at Syracuse. Pawtucket is 31-39 vs. their IL North rivals. They are 8-10 vs. the IL West and 10-9 vs. the IL South including a 5-1 mark at home vs. Southern foes. The Sox will go back outside the North from August 7-19 when they play Louisville, Indianapolis, Norfolk, and Durham.

Last Tune in June – The PawSox – due to a 5-game losing skid to end the month of June – finished with a losing record in June at 14- 15. They .258 with 27 HR in 29 games during the month along with a 3.41 ERA. They had their best month of last season in June going 17-14.

A Hectic May - The PawSox finished an extremely busy May with a 13-17 record for the month. The topsy-turvy travel month included four different homestands and four different roadtrips. Pitchers posted a 3.60 ERA in May while batters hit .227 with 22 HR and 97 runs in 30 May games (for an average of 3.2 runs per game). The Sox played 30 games in 31 days in May with just one scheduled off-day (May 17) during the entire month.

April Comes up a Winner – The PawSox posted a winning April for the 6th time in the last 8 years as they finished the month with an 11-10 record and in 2nd-place in the IL North (-2 GB of front-running Syracuse at the time). Pawtucket has had just one losing month of April since 2010 and that came last year (10-12). The Sox hit .233 in April with 16 HR in 21 games while pitchers were 11-10 with a 3.51 ERA along with a league-leading 230 in 190 innings.

One and Done – The PawSox have lost eight of their last nine 1-run decisions since July 6. They were 16-9 in 1-run games on July 4 which was the best winning pct. in the league, but they are now 17-17 in 1-run games this season.

Throwing Strikes – Pawtucket pitchers are 2nd in the International League with 954 strikeouts. Durham leads with 970 SO. Sox hurlers have posted games of 20 (April 9), 18 (April 20 & July 8), 15 (three times), 14 (twice), 13 (twice), 12 (eight times), 11 (five times), and 10 (16 times) this season.

Hit or Miss – PawSox batters were last in the league in team batting for most of May and into June, but they are now 12th with their .244 average…which is their highest since April 22 when they were hitting .246.

Defensive – The PawSox have made just 14 errors in their last 29 games. Last year the PawSox led the International League with a .987 fielding pct. while making a league-low 64 errors on the season (both new franchise-records). This season the Sox are 12th in the league with a .979 fielding pct. (78 errors in 3769 total chances).

Blanketed – The PawSox have been shutout 11 times this season (Rochester leads with 12 times shutout). Pawtucket was blanked 9 times total in 2017. They went 18-9 in shuout games last year. They are 7-11 in shutout games thus far in 2018.

A Look Back Before We Go Forth – Pawtucket finished 67-75 last year and in 4th-place in the IL North for the second straight season. They dropped to a season-low 9-games under .500 on August 26 at 62-71. On July 18, 2017 the PawSox were a season-best 6-games over .500 at 50-44. Pawtucket finished 34-36 in games played at McCoy Stadium last season. Thus they finished with just their second losing season at McCoy in the last 8 years. The Sox went 33-39 on the road.
