AKRON — The Aeros continued their recent success at home Friday night with an all-around performance in a 6-0 victory against the Reading Phillies. A crowd of 7,277 fans on Fireworks Friday witnessed Akron win at Canal Park for the 12th time in 13 games, highlighted by six shutout innings from lefty starter Kelvin De La Cruz.
Coupled with a loss by the Altoona Curve Friday, the third-place Aeros (56-48) are now only 3.5 games away from the Western Division lead and the Phillies are 51-53 on the season.
Eight of the nine Akron batters recorded a single hit but shortstop Carlos Rivero led the way with a pair of runs scored and two RBI. His home run was his fourth of the season, second against Reading, and the pitching staff’s shutout was their fourth in the month of July.
