Game 53: Avoiding a sweep
Pettitte, Yanks salvage the finale

Pedro vs Price … Price wins.

Triple-A Scranton (9-4 win over Pawtucket)
Brett Gardner: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB1 K, 1 SB
Alberto Gonzalez: 3 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 4 RBI, 1 K – you know, Derek Jeter has been playing like crap lately…
Jason Lane: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 K
Ben Broussard: 0 for 2, 1 R, 2 HBP – taken out after being hit by a pitch in the 7th … but I think it was for defensive purposes, he was playing RF
Cody Ransom: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 2 K, 1 SB
Eric Duncan & JD Closser: both 1 for 5 – Duncan K’ed … gulp … 4 times
Greg Porter: 2 for 4, 3 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K
The Ghost of Kei Igawa: 7 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 9-10 GB/FB – 73 of 100 pitches, a very un-Kei-like rate
Heath Phillips: 0.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 2 WP – I want Ben Kozlowski back
Scott Patterson: 1 IP, zeroes

Double-A Trenton is deep into extras right now, and I’m not waiting around for the game to finish. There’s not much to see, whole lotta 1-fers on the offensive side, and Eric Hacker pitching well in his AA debut. That’s about it. Here’s the box score.

High-A Tampa (4-0 loss to Lakeland)
Mitch Hilligoss: 1 for 4, 1 K, 1 E (fielding)
Jose Gil: 1 for 3, 1 K
rest of lineup: combined 0 for 22, 1 BB, 7 K – James Cooper & Kevin Smith each K’ed three times … Josue Calzado committed a fielding error … Kyle Anson allowed a passed ball
Mike Dunn: 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 8-2 GB/FB – picked a runner off first
Kevin Whelan: 2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 2 WP, 2-0 GB/FB – 13 K in 12 IP
Steven Artz: 1 IP, zeroes

Low-A Charleston had a scheduled off day.

Just as a heads up, Short Season Staten Island‘s season starts on June 17th, and the Rookie GCL Yanks start two days later on the 19th. Same great DotF, but with 50% more free in three short weeks.
