The Altoona Curve opened their second half of the season with a 8-3 win over the Harrisburg Senators on Tuesday at PNG Field.
Jared Triolo broke open the scoring with a three-run home run to left in the first inning. After an errant pick-off by Harrisburg pitcher Luis Reyes drove in one in the second inning, last year’s No. 1 overall pick Henry Davis plated two more on a double to center. Matt Gorski and Blake Sabol capped off Altoona’s scoring later that inning with a double and a single, respectively.
Luis Ortiz earned the win in relief for Altoona after allowing just three runs over five innings. Dillon Peters and Duane Underwood Jr. appeared in the game on rehab assignments. Peters started for Altoona and pitched a perfect first inning, while Underwood fanned two in two innings of work.
Omar Cruz shut the door with a perfect ninth inning.
Game two of the series is tonight. Altoona will send RHP Carmen Mlodzinski (0-4, 4.50 ERA) to the mound, while RHP Jake Irvin (0-2, 4.91 ERA) will start for Harrisburg.
First pitch is 6 p.m.
