The Mahoning Valley Scrappers were swept by the Brooklyn Cyclones tonight losing 2-1 at MCU Park.
Luis Nieves’ two-run home run off of the Scrappers Mike Rayl in the bottom of the third inning proved to be the game winning hit as the Cyclones never looked back.
The two-run home run was the only mistake Rayl made pitching five innings, giving up two runs on five hits and picking up the loss.
Angel Cuan got the win for the Cyclones lasting 6.2 innings, giving up one run, scattering eight Scrappers hits and striking out six.
Ryan Fraser came in and shut the door for Brooklyn picking up his third save after pitching a scoreless inning of relief.
The only offense from the Scrappers came on a Kevin Rucker RBI single in the top of the second inning.
The Scrappers will look to end their three-game slide when they head home to open up a three-game set with the Williamsport Crosscutters tomorrow night. First pitch is at 7:05 p.m.
