Syracuse finally tasted defeat in their 20-26 season opener, dropping a 5-3 decision to Worcester after scratching out just. Three runs for the second straight day. Their pitching staff crumbled, coughing up five runs total, snapping what had been a perfect start. Joander Suarez took the hill for his first start of the year and surrendered the first two runs over three and a third innings. Then Jonathan Pintaro, who saw time with the big league Metz last season, gave up two more, while Alex Carrillo, another Metz alum, allowed the final. Tally. The bats went quiet for Syracuse, with Christian Eroyo leading the way at two-for-four with an RBI and Ronnie Mauricio adding one hit and another. RBI.
