Series Swings Between Harrisburg Shutout and Rincon’s Two-Homer Night

Overview

• Harrisburg blanked Reading 3-0 at FNB Field as a bullpen-heavy effort produced 11 strikeouts and a five-inning save from Alex Clemmey.
• Jake Irvin made a major-league rehab start for Harrisburg and tossed 3.2 hitless innings with four strikeouts before leaving mid-at-bat.
• Reading starter Adam Seminaris threw a quality start of six innings with seven strikeouts but took the loss after Harrisburg scored twice in the first.
• Reading responded in a later game with a 6-5 win highlighted by Bryan Rincon’s two home runs, raising his season total to 14 and boosting his prospect profile.
• The swing from a shutout to a high-scoring win highlights the volatile offense at Double-A, the short-term impact of rehab assignments on matchups, and why pitchers and hitters in this series merit close watch by both clubs.
