With infielder Domingo Leyba a healthy scratch (a possible call-up to join the big league team in Buffalo?), catcher Nick Ciuffo almost singlehandedly powered the Tides to a win on Saturday with a two-run single in the fourth and a home run in the eighth. Tyler Nevin contributed a sac fly.
Conner Greene, an offseason signing this winter, pitched four innings of two-run, three-hit baseball, striking out five (1-2, 6.67 ERA). Tyler Joyner, a 2018 30th-round pick, pitched 2.2 scoreless innings in his Norfolk debut. Claudio Custodio pitched 1.1 scoreless, and Eric Hanhold got the save with a scoreless ninth.
