LAST TIME OUT: Brooklyn's 7-game winning streak was halted in a 2-0 pitcher's duel defeat at Wilmington on Wednesday night...RHP Travis Sthele tossed a complete game, 1-hit shutout, facing just 1 batter over the minimum...The Blue Rocks' starter struck out only 2 and retired the final 23 batters in order...The 9.0-inning complete game shutout was the first against Brooklyn in Minor League Baseball's digital era (2005-present)...LHP Jonathan Santucci was outstanding for the Cyclones, tossing 5.1 innings of 5-hit shutout ball, striking out 5 without allowing a walk...SS Marco Vargas garnered Brooklyn's only hit with a leadoff single in the 2nd...Wilmington scored the game's only runs in the 7th on back-to-back ground-rule doubles from C Matt Suggs and 3B Jackson Ross...The game was completed in an hour and 48 minutes...It was the Cyclones' shortest 9-inning game since a 3-1 loss at Aberdeen on May 3, 2022, was also played in an hour and 48 minutes.
