GCL Yanks toss rain shortened no-hitter

Eduardo Nunez was named to the Double-A Eastern League Postseason All Star Team, so congrats to him. Austin Jackson wasn’t so lucky, he landed in the Not-So-Hot section of this week’s Prospect Hot Sheet.

Meanwhile, some jerk threw Triple-A Scranton’s Governor’s Cup Trophy across the room because he was upset about something. He was arrested, and the trophy is a little banged up. Doesn’t sound like a trip to the disabled list will be needed.

Triple-A Scranton was rained out. They’ll play two tomorrow.

Double-A Trenton was also washed out. Two tomorrow.
