Game 74 Spillover Thread
Burnett dominates Mets as Yanks win 5-0

Mike Ashmore reports that Ivan Nova has been promoted to Triple-A Scranton (as expected) and veteran Jason Johnson has been activated to take his place on the roster and in the rotation. Chad Jennings says Nova’s debut could come Monday.

Triple-A Scranton (6-5 loss to Rochester, walk-off style)
Kevin Russo & John Rodriguez: both 2 for 4 – Russo drew a walk & was caught stealing … J-Rod doubled twice, drove a run in, scored one & K’ed twice
Austin Jackson & Justin Leone: both 1 for 4, 1 R – Jackson drew a walk, swiped a bag & K’ed … Leone drove in a run & K’ed twice
Colin Curtis: 1 for 3, 1 RBI, 2 BB
Shelley Duncan: 0 for 5, 2 K – OPS dips below 1.000
Juan Miranda: 0 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB
Eric Duncan: 3 for 4, 1 2B, 1 R, 1 RBI – first back-to-back three hit games since 2003
Josh Towers: 6 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 7-7 GB/FB – 57 of 83 pitches were strikes (68.7%)
Mark Melancon: 2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2-3 GB/FB – 18 of 32 pitches were strikes (56.3%)
Anthony Claggett: 0.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1-0 GB/FB – 8 of 12 pitches were strikes

Double-A Trenton
Game 1
(8-2 win over Reading) completion of yesterday’s game, which was suspended due to rain
Austin Krum: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 SB
Reegie Corona: 0 for 2, 2 R, 2 BB – 37 BB, 33 K this year
Eduardo Nunez, Noah Hall & Edwar Gonzalez: all 2 for 4 – Nunez doubled, drove in two runs, scored two others & missed a catch for an error … Hall doubled & scored a run … Edwar drove in a run
Jorge Vazquez: 4 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI – BOMBS
Jesus Montero: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 2 RBI
Chris Malec: 1 for 4
Marcos Vechionacci: 0 for 4
Zach McAllister: 2 IP, zeroes, 3 K, 0-3 GB/FB – started yesterday, but then the rains came … for shame, he was matched up against the Phillies’ first rounder from 2007
Josh Schmidt: 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 3-6 GB/FB – already just 10.1 IP behind last year’s total thanks to all of these extended outings
Mike Dunn: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 4 BB, 4 K, 0-1 GB/FB – seven walks in his last 2.2 IP

Eduardo Nunez & Chris Malec: both 0 for 3 – Malec scored a run & K’ed

Kyle Anson: 1 for 1, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 PB
Justin Snyder: 0 for 2, 1 BB, 1 K – OPS’ing around .500 … jumping him over Hi-A might not have been a good idea
Jason Johnson: 5 IP, 9 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 4-5 GB/FB – just back from a shoulder injury
Kevin Whelan: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 0-2 GB/FB

High-A Tampa had their doubleheader with St. Lucie postponed due to wet grounds. They’re going to play a doubleheader tomorrow to make up one of the games, and I honestly have no idea when they’re going to make up the other. Tampa isn’t scheduled to play St. Lucie again this season, home or away.

Low-A Charleston (4-3 win over Savannah)
Jose Pirela: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K
Ray Kruml & Taylor Grote: both 1 for 4 – Kruml doubled, drew a walk, scored a pair of runs, drove one in & K’ed … Grote K’ed twice
Corban Joseph: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB
Melky Mesa & Chase Weems: both 2 for 4 – Mesa drove in a run & stole a base … Weems doubled, K’ed twice & picked a runner off first with a snap throw
Abe Almonte: 0 for 3, 1 Bb, 1 K
Garrison Lassiter & Tommy Baldridge: both 0 for 4, 1 K
Hector Noesi: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 3-2 GB/FB – taken out because he’s been promoted to Tampa, supposedly
Charles Nolte: 2.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 1-3 GB/FB
Brad Rulon: 3.1 IP, zeroes, 6 K, 1 WP, 0-5 GB/FB – dayum
Jon Ortiz: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 2-0 GB/FB – got his old closer job back now that Venditte’s been promoted

Short Season Staten Island (8-5 win over Hudson Valley) came into the game hitting .192-.255-.288 as a team
Francisco Santana: 0 for 2, 1 R, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 SB
Jimmy Paredes, Zoilo Almonte & Luke Murton: all 2 for 4 – Parede swiped a bag, drove in a run, scored two, K’ed & committed a fielding error … Almonte scored a run, drove in two, K’ed twice & stole a base … Murton doubled, scored a pair of runs & swiped a base
