Red Sox prospects Romero, Arias perform well despite loss to Bison

The Worcester Red Sox lost a close game to the Buffalo Bison, 9-6, in a match held yesterday. Mikey Romero contributed with a two-RBI single, boosting his performance to a.364 batting average for August. While the WooSox offense had a strong outing with 27 hits, poor relief pitching from Eduardo Rivera affected their chances. The Portland Sea Dogs suffered a more significant defeat, falling 16-4 to the Rumble Ponies, with inadequate pitching leading to a seven-run sixth inning against them. The Greenville Drive's game against the Astros was postponed due to rain, while the Salem Red Sox lost 3-2 after a lackluster offensive showing.
