Martin Truex Jr. wins NASCAR Sprint Cup Pocono Axalta “We Paint Winners” 400

The Rochester Red Wings had one lead all Sunday afternoon and it came at the ideal time. The first-place Red Wings (31-24) plated a pair in the ninth to produce a 4-3 walk-off win over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders that kept the Red Wings in first place.It snapped the RailRiders&#8217; 10-game road winning streak and marked the 11th time in 13 games that SWB (31-27) lost at Frontier Field.Leading 3-2 entering the home ninth, reliever Branden Pinder (0-1) allowed back-to-back singles to pinch hitter Danny Ortiz and Reynaldo Rodriguez. A fly-out later, Kennys Vargas walked to load the bases. Oswaldo Arcia then skied a ball to the rim of the warning track in right-center that was caught by Mason Williams. Each runner tagged up and tried to advance. Ortiz scored while cut-off man Nick Noonan tried to nab Rodriguez at third, but errantly sailed his throw allowing Rodriguez to race home and plunge on top of the plate with the winning run.SWB starter Jose De Paula fired a career-high-tying seven innings of two-hit ball. He struck out four and walked one while facing the minimum in all but one of his innings including five perfect frames. Rochester reliever Caleb Thielbar (4-2) logged a scoreless ninth on 15 pitches (six strikes) for the win.The RailRiders travel to Buffalo to begin a three-game set with the Bisons on Monday at 7:05 p.m. SWB hands the ball to right-hander Bryan Mitchell (4-4, 2.86), while Buffalo is expected to start southpaw Daniel Norris (1-4, 3.31).Red Wings 4, RailRiders 3RailRiders`AB`R`H`BIMason Williams cf `5`1`3`0Cole Figueroa 3b `5`0`1`0Rob Refsnyder 2b `4`1`2`2Kyle Roller 1b `4`0`1`0Austin Romine c `4`1`1`1Ben Gamel rf `2`0`0`0Nick Noonan ss `4`0`0`0Jonathan Galvez dh `3`0`1`0Taylor Dugas lf `3`0`0`0Totals `34`3`9`3Red Wings`AB`R`H`BIArgenis Diaz ss `3`0`0`0Danny Ortiz ph `1`1`1`0Reynaldo Rodriguez lf `4`1`1`0Josmil Pinto dh `3`0`0`0Kennys Vargas 1b `3`0`0`0Oswaldo Arcia rf `3`0`0`0Eric Fryer c `3`1`1`0Jose Martinez 3b `2`1`1`0James Beresford ph/2b `1`0`0`0Doug Bernier 2b/3b `3`0`0`0Eric Farris cf `3`0`1`1Totals `29`4`5`2RailRiders`100`000`020`&#8212;`3 Rochester`001`000`010`&#8212;`2DP: RailRiders 2, Red Wings 0.
