Hughes strong as SWB resumes winning ways

Bullpen, Melky deliver a sweep
Crazy little thing called Melky

Triple-A Scranton (6-1 win over Buffalo)
Doug Bernier: 3 for 5, 1 R, 2 2B, 1 K – 9 for 39 (.231) as Kevin Rusoo’s injury fill-in
John Rodriguez & Eric Duncan: both 1 for 3, 1 R – J-Rod drew a pair of walks & was picked off first … E-Dunc doubled & drew a walk
Todd Linden: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 K – 11 for his last 26 (.423) with 3 doubles, 1 triple & 2 homers
Shelley Duncan: 0 for 3, 1 BB
Juan Miranda: 0 for 4
Austin Jackson: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 K, 1 SB – hitting .424 in 33 at-bats
Angel Berroa & Chris Stewart: both 2 for 4, 1 RBI – Berroa scored a run & K’ed
Phil Hughes: 7.2 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, 9-7 GB/FB – 75 of 105 pitches were strikes (71.4%) … that’s vintage Phil Hughes right there … right now I put it at 50-50 that he starts in place of Wang on Tuesday
Mark Melancon: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 2-0 Gb/FB – 16 of 23 pitches were strikes (69.6%) … he allowed an inherited runner to score, hence the run charged to Hughes … I know we’re all looking forward to seeing Melancon relieve Hughes for the next decade

Double-A Trenton (4-3 loss to Binghamton)
Eduardo Nunez: 1 for 5, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 E (fielding) – 7 errors already … yikes
Reegie Corona: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K
Colin Curtis: 1 for 4 – riding a nice little 8 game hit streak
Edwar Gonzalez, Marcos Vechionacci & Chris Malec: all 0 for 3, 1 K – Gonzalez stole a base & drove in a run … Vech drew a walk & committed a fielding error … Malec drew a walk & scored a run
Frankie Cervelli: 2 for 3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K – 4 for his last 6 after a 2 for 28 streak
Seth Fortenberry: 0 for 4, 2 K
George Kontos: 5 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 7 K, 1 HB, 3-5 GB/FB
Kanekoa Texeira: 2 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 0 K, 1 WP, 5-1 GB/FB – he’s allowed runs in 3 of his 4 appearances
Wilkins Arias: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1-0 GB/FB

High-A Tampa (5-4 loss to Brevard County)
Austin Krum, Brandon Laird & Jack rye: all 1 for 4 – Krum drove in a run & K’ed … Rye tripled, drove in a run & scored another
Matt Cusick: 1 for 5, 1 K
Jesus Montero: 0 for 3, 2 BB – 5-6 K/BB ratio on the young season
Damon Sublett & Wady Rufino: both 1 for 3, 1 2B – Sublett drew a walk, scored a run, K’ed & committed a pair of throwing errors … Rufino drove in two runs
Austin Romine: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 K – hitting only .227 while Montero does most of the catching
Addison Maruszack: 1 for 3, 1 BB, 1 SB
Jeremy Bleich: 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 2 WP, 9-4 GB/FB
Jon Hovis: 2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1-1 GB/FB – picked a runner off first
Amaury Sanit: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 3-1 GB/FB

Low-A Charleston (13-2 beatdown of Augusta)
Carmen Angelini: 2 for 6, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 K, 1 E (fielding) – breaks a 3 game errorless streak
Ray Kruml & David Adams: both 0 for 4, 1 R, 1 BB – Kruml drove in a run & K’ed … Adams K’ed thrice
Brian Baisley: 3 for 4, 2 R, 2 2B, 4 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K – hitting .383-.438-.511 … he just destroys this level
Abe Almonte: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K
Taylor Grote: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K
Melky Mesa: 3 for 4, 3 R, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 1 K – second 2 homer effort in the last 8 games
Mitch Abeita: 0 for 2, 2 R, 2 BB. 1 HBP
Garrison Lassiter: 0 for 2, 1 R, 3 BB – I’m surprised he’s hitting 9th in the order, the Yanks usually stick their actual prospects high in the order
Manny Banuelos: 5.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 6-6 GB/FB
Hector Noesi: 1.2 IP, zeroes, 4 K, 0-1 GB/FB
Brad Rulon: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HB, 4-1 GB/FB – 78 K in 50 career IP
