ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Ryan McGuire doubled home two runs to break a seventh-inning tie as the Rochester Red Wings defeated the Louisville Bats 8-6 Thursday night.

        Rochester (42-56), the Orioles' Triple-A team, took leads of 4-0 and 5-4, but Louisville (54-46), the Reds' top farm club, tied the game in the top of the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Jesse Levis.

        With two out in the bottom of the inning, Chris Richard doubled against losing pitcher Trever Miller (6-3). After an intentional walk, McGuire, just down from the Baltimore Orioles, drilled his double to the right-center field wall.

        Luis De Los Santos then singled to drive in McGuire. Richard also drove in two runs, with a single in both the first and second innings. Two other runs scored on a single by Fernando Lunar and an error.

        The Bats came back with two runs in the third, when Gerald Williams tripled home a run and scored on a single by Jeff Frye. Louisville tied the score for the first time in the fifth on a single by Brady Clark and an error.

        Winning pitcher Sean Douglass (2-3) worked the final four innings, giving up two runs. Levis drove in both of them.
