Manchester, NH - Sean Reid-Foley tossed five scoreless innings as the Fisher Cats (Toronto Blue Jays Double-A affiliate) opened the second homestand of the season with a 4-0 win over the Trenton Thunder (New York Yankees Double-A affiliate) on Friday night at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

Reid-Foley, the 10th rated prospect in the Blue Jays organization, allowed two singles, walked three and struck out a season-high eight Trenton batters. The 2016 second-round pick struck out six of the first seven batters he faced, and took a no-hitter into the fifth inning.

The Fisher Cats took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first. Jonathan Davis and Bo Bichette reached on consecutive infield singles to start the frame. Davis scored on a wild pitch and Bichette scored on a groundout by Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

A two-out rally made it 3-0 in the bottom of the second. Ryan Hissey doubled and scored on Andrew Guillotte's base knock off Trenton starter Dillon Tate (L, 1-1). Tate was taken No. 4 overall in the 2015 MLB draft by the Texas Rangers, and was traded to the Yankees organization for Carlos Beltran in 2016.

Reid-Foley did not allow a hit until Chace Numata lined a one-out single to right field in the fifth inning. He improved to 4-0 with a 1.16 ERA through four starts.

Guerrero Jr. finished 1-for-3 with a double and his league-leading 23rd RBI, while Bo Bichette went 1-for-4 with a run scored.

The series continues on Saturday at 6:35 p.m. Dust off your leg warmers and parachute pants! We're ready to light up the night sky with our first themed Atlas Fireworks show of the season, all set to the hits of the 80s.
