Game 92 Spillover Thread
Pair of solo homers powers Yanks past Orioles 2-1

Neil Medchill was named NY-Penn League Hitter of the Week, while Adam Warren and Trenton Laire shared Pitcher of the Week honors. Meanwhile, Brett Marshall was placed on the disabled list. He had been pitching pretty poorly of late, so maybe this explains things.

Triple-A Scranton (8-1 loss to Columbus)
Kevin Russo, Austin Jackson, Yurendell DeCaster & Frankie Cervelli: all 1 for 4 – Russo & Jackson each swiped a bag … DeCaster doubled & K’ed … Cervelli K’ed
Ramiro Pena: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB – played CF as well
The Duncans: both 0 for 4 – Eric K’ed
Colin Curtis: 3 for 3, 1 BB
Romulo Sanchez: 3.1 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 Balk, 4-5 GB/FB – 46 of 82 pitches were strikes (56.1) … not what they needed on a night when they had only one fresh reliever
Anthony Claggett: 2.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 4-3 GB/FB – 20 of 41 pitches were strikes (48.8%)
Edwar Ramirez: 2 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 2-2 GB/FB – 16 of 24 pitches were strikes (66.7%)

Double-A Trenton (5-4 loss to New Hampshire in 10 innings, walk-off style)
Austin Krum & Eduardo Nunez: both 1 for 5, 1 R – Krum hit a solo jack … Nunez K’ed twice
Reegie Corona: 2 for 3, 1 R, 2 BB
Noah Hall & Richie Robnett: both 0 for 5 – Hall K’ed once, Robnett twice
Jesus Montero: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB – hit a go ahead homer in the 10th, but it wasn’t enough … allowed two stolen bases
Chris Malec: 2 for 5, 1 RBI
Marcos Vechionacci: 2 for 4
Paul Bush: 3.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 3-4 GB/FB
Jason Stephens: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 1 WP, 5-0 GB/FB
Eric Wordekemper: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 3-2 GB/FB
Wilkins Arias: 2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 1-1 GB/FB – 51 K in 53.2 IP
Jose Valdez: 0.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1-1 GB/FB – the walk was intentional

High-A Tampa
Game 1
(6-4 win over Palm Beach in 7 innings) makeup of yesterday’s rainout
Dan Brewer & David Adams: both 1 for 4 – Brewer scored a run & K’ed twice
Matt Cusick: 3 for 4, 1 RBI

Damon Sublett: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 RBI
Brandon Laird & Seth Fortenberry: both 2 for 3, 1 2B, 1 HBP – Laird drove a run in & scored another
Craig Heyer: 4 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 3-7 GB/FB
Adam Olbrychowski: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1-2 GB/FB
Pat Venditte: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 0-2 GB/FB – 48-2 K/BB ratio in 36.2 IP
