SYRACUSE, N.Y.- Carlos Delgado’s three-run home run in the third inning
Tuesday sparked the Syracuse SkyChiefs to an 8-1 International League victory
over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons.
   
Delgado’s homer, a 425-foot blast to right field, came as the first baseman
began a rehabilitation assignment in Syracuse, the Toronto Blue Jays’ top farm
team. Delgado is recovering from off-season shoulder surgery.
    Jose Herrera and Mark Dalesandro added homers for the SkyChiefs (8-2) in
support of winner Mark Sievert (2-0). Sievert allowed four hits and had the
Red Barons hit into 16 groundouts over seven inning.
   
The lone run for Scranton (5-6) came off the bat of Billy McMillon, who hit
a solo homer in the second inning.
   
Carlton Loewer (1-2) worked five innings for the Red Barons, allowing seven
runs on seven hits.
   
Delgado last played for Syracuse in 1995. Blue Jays trainers and coaches
will meet with him when Toronto visits Syracuse for an exhibition game
Thursday to determine when he will return to the parent club.
