Garcia strong in second start

Hughes, bats dominate Texas
With Bruney down, Yanks might seek bullpen help

One year ago today on DotF, Al Aceves threw a complete game shutout in a 1-0 win over Altoona. Obviously, I was wrong last night about T-Clip’s no-no being the last time a Yanks’ farmhand went the full nine.

Triple-A Scranton (7-3 loss to Syracuse)
Doug Bernier: 1 for 5, 2 K
Austin Jackson: 2 for 4, 2 K – 13 for 31 (.419) during 8 game hit streak
Todd Linden & Eric Duncan: both 0 for 4 – Linden K’ed twice & is 0 for his last 14
Shelley Duncan & Chris Stewart: both 1 for 3, 1 BB – Shelley K’ed twice
Juan Miranda, John Rodriguez & Justin Leone: all 1 for 4 – Miranda doubled, scored a run & K’ed … J-Rod hit a solo jack & K’ed … Leone doubled, K’ed & committed a pair of throwing errors at short
JB Cox: 2.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 5-2 GB/FB – 29 of 54 pitches were strikes (53.7%) … spot starting does not agree with him … the problem is that since Tommy John surgery, Cox just isn’t missing any bats … he had a 7.48 Kper9 before TJ, but it’s just 4.57 since
Zach Kroenke: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 2-2 GB/FB – 22 of 28 pitches were strikes (78.6%)
Jose Valdez: 3 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 0-6 GB/FB – 26 of 42 pitches were strikes (61.9%)

Double-A Trenton (7-0 win over New Hampshire)
Eduardo Nunez, Chris Malec & Jorge Vazquez: all 1 for 5, 1 R – Malec & Vazquez also doubled & drove in a run … Malec K’ed once, Vazquez twice … and finally, Vazquez committed a fielding error
Colin Curtis & Edwar Gonzalez: both 2 for 4, 1 R – Curtis doubled, drove in a run, walked & K’ed … Edwar drew a walk
Noah Hall: 3 for 5, 2 R, 1 SB
Jose Gil & Marcos Vechionacci: both 1 for 4 – Gil drove in a run, K”ed twice & allowed a passed ball … Vech K’ed once
James Cooper: 2 for 3, 2 RBI, 1 K, 1 HBP
Chris Garcia: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 6-5 GB/FB
Mike Dunn: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1-2 GB/FB – just his second scoreless outing this month
Eric Wordekemper & Amaury Sanit: both 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 2-0 GB/FB – Wordy walked a guy

High-A Tampa had a scheduled off day, as did the rest of the Florida State League.

Low-A Charleston (4-1 win over Bowling Green)
Abe Almonte, David Adams & Jose Pirela: all 0 for 4 – Almonte swiped a bag & scored a run … Adams & Pirela each K’ed once
Corban Joseph & Neall French: both 0 for 3 – Joseph drew a walk & K’ed
Dan Brewer: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 K – 11 for his last 32 (.344)
Melky Mesa & Taylor Grote: both 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB – Melky drove in two with his league leading 11th homer … Grote’s was a solo shot
Chase Weems: 1 for 2, 1 BB, 1 K
David Phelps: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 7-6 GB/FB
Cory Arbiso: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 2-2 GB/FB
Pat Venditte: 1 IP, zeroes, 3 K – 31 K in 20 IP (13.95 Kper9)
