<p>Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders manager Bobby Mitchell calls Brandon Drury a big leaguer wearing a minor league uniform.</p><p>Saturday night, Drury showed exactly why.</p><p>Drury&#8217;s two-run home run in the sixth inning put the RailRiders ahead to stay and three relievers allowed just two hits over the final four innings as Scranton/Wilkes-Barre slipped past Rochester, 4-2 in an International League baseball game.</p><p>Drury&#8217;s fourth homer with the RailRiders also drove home Tyler Austin and gave Scranton/Wilkes-Barre a 2-1 lead while making a winner of starter Nestor Cortes.</p><p>The RailRiders boosted their lead to 4-1 when Tyler Wade&#8217;s sacrifice fly delivered Ronald Torreyes in the sixth inning and Bruce Caldwell&#8217;s single scored Billy McKinney in the eighth.</p><p>Raynel Espinal, Giovanny Gallegos and Cody Carroll combined to srtrike out nine batters over the last four innings while surrendering one run.</p><p>Cortes worked the first five innings on the mound and limited Rochester to Chris Carter&#8217;s RBI force out in the third inning.</p><p>The Red Wings didn&#8217;t score again until Willians Astudillo ripped a run-scoring double in the eighth.</p><p>Carroll earned the save by pitching a perfect ninth inning and striking out two of the three batters he faced.</p><p>Torreyes finished 2-for-4 and scored for the RailRiders, while Wade and Austin added doubles.</p><style>
