Gage was good
The Reading Fightin' Phils and their Minor League affiliates had a disappointing August 22, 2026, weekend at the ballpark. Buffalo's pitching staff dominated Lehigh Valley, 8-0, while Reading's top prospect, Gage Wood, put together a solid performance against Portland, allowing only one unearned run over five innings. Brian Keys contributed with two home runs for the Phils.
Bryan Rincon led the Fightin' Phils' offense with his 19th home run of the season in the first game. Raider Tello added a double and an RBI for the team. In the doubleheader, the Hudson Valley BlueClaws fell short in both games, 2-0 and 0-2, against Jersey Shore. Ryan Dromboski and Tanner Gresham showed strength in the BlueClaws' pitching, allowing just two runs total in Game 2.
The Dunedin Threshers and Clearwater Rays struggled in their match, with Sean Youngerman and Manuel Colon allowing ten runs in six innings. Tyler Spangler, the team's first-round pick, struggled at DH, going 0 for 2 with two walks and a run scored. Cade Bogenpohl contributed with a double and two strikeouts.
