The Red Wings plated three of their five runs in the top of the third. Andrew Stevenson put the team on the board with an RBI triple. Lucius Fox followed that with a two-run home run over the wall in right-center to make it 3-0. That was his second long ball of the season.
In the top of the fourth, Stevenson collected his second RBI of the night with a run-scoring single to extend the lead to 4-0.
Worcester scored their lone run in the bottom of the fifth on Franchy Cordero’s sacrifice fly.
