Daniel Norris hit hard in Toledo rehab start

Charlotte Knights 8, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box)

Daniel Norris’ rehab start was ugly. The left-hander surrendered four runs in just two innings of work. It didn’t get much better when the bullpen took over. The only semi-bright spot was Jairo Labourt’s two hitless innings, though he walked two to go with two strikeouts. Efren Navarro provided much of the Hens’ punch with a pair of doubles. JaCoby Jones added a pair of hits and a stolen base.

Navarro: 2-5, R, RBI, 2 2B, SO

Norris (L): 2.0 IP, 4 ER, 6 H, SO

Coming Up Next: Artie Lewicki (2-0, 3.86 ERA) takes on Charlotte on Thursday night.

Binghamton Rumble Ponies 14, Erie SeaWolves 5 (box)

Spencer Turnbull had himself back on the right track after early injuries, but his return to Erie didn’t go very well. Turnbull was really wild, ultimately giving up seven runs, six earned, in 4 ¹⁄₃ innings. Kurt Spomer blew up in the eighth, allowing four runs to smother any hope for a comeback. Dawel Lugo doubled as part of a two-hit game, while Mike Gerber drove in three runs. Christin Stewart drew a pair of walks, doubled and scored a run.

Lugo: 2-5, R, 2B

Turnbull (L): 4.1 IP, 7 R, 6 ER, 6 H, 5 BB, 2 SO

Coming Up Next: Tyler Alexander (7-7, 4.98 ERA) starts for the SeaWolves on Friday after an off day Thursday.

Robson: 1-4, R, 2 RBI, HR, 2 SO

Dowdy (L): 3.2 IP, 5 ER, 7 H, 4 BB, 2 SO

Fort Myers Miracle 3, Lakeland Flying Tigers 2 (GM 2)(box)

Dayton Dragons 7, West Michigan Whitecaps 0 (box)

The Dragons jumped all over Tom de Blok, smashing three home runs and routing the Whitecaps’ starter after five innings and seven runs worth of damage.

Pereira: 2-3, BB
