10 APR 2016: Scott Kingery of the Threshers during the Florida State League game between the Clearwater Threshers and the Dunedin Blue Jays at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium in Dunedin, Florida. /

Clearwater suffered their 19th loss of the season as they fell 7-2 to the Manatees. Starter Ranfi Casimiro allowed five runs (four earned) off six hits in four innings. A two-run home run to Elvis Rubio in the second inning helped Brevard County build a four run cushion early.

Reliever Victor Arano also allowed two runs and two walks in three innings of work despite striking out five.

Jesse Therrien struck out the side in his one inning.

Scott Kingery went 1-5 with his 17th double and a strike out. Outfielder Carlos Tocci finished 1-4 in the loss.

The lone power Wednesday evening came from DH Zach Green, who launched his sixth home run of the year mid-way through the game.

The Phillies 21st ranked prospect Elniery Garcia (3-2) will look to stop the bleeding for Clearwater, who have lost 6 of their last 10.
