Lyerly helps Charleston walk-off with a win

Triple-A Scranton is off until tomorrow for the All Star break. The International League defeated the Pacific Coast League 2-1.
Eduardo Nunez, SS: 0 for 2 – started the game & batted third … he saw a total of four pitches on the night
Jesus Montero, C: 0 for 2, 1 K – entered the game in the 5th inning … same deal as Nunez, saw four pitches all night, he looked pretty overmatched during the strikeout, two weak hacks … he replaced Eric Kratz, who exited the game because he found out he was being called up to the big leagues for the first time in his career … cool story
Jon Albaladejo: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 0-2 GB/FB – got the save in the 9th … ten of his 11 pitches were a strikes, and the one ball was borderline … he’s definitely a different guy than the one we saw the past few years, threw a ton of four seamers & a few curves, used to be sinker-slider … I can’t see why they wouldn’t give him a try, they have nothing to lose

Double-A Trenton is also off until tomorrow for the All Star break. The West All Stars beat the East All Stars 10-3.
Austin Romine, C: 0 for 2 – started the game & batted third
Brandon Laird: 0 for 2, 1 BB, 1 K – started & batted cleanup … the good news is that his ankle’s okay

Josh Schmidt: 0.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1-0 GB/FB – nine of his 17 pitches were strikes (52.9%) … pitched the 9th, or at least part of it

Rob Lyerly, 1B: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI – walk-off two run jimmy jack … he’s now 11 for his last 22 with four doubled & homer … when this dude gets hot, he really gets hot
Kyle Higashioka, C: 2 for 3 – got a nice little five game hit streak going
Emerson Landoni, 3B & Francisco Santana, CF: both 1 for 3 – Landoni K’ed … Santana tripled & K’ed
Ronny Marte: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 11-3 GB/FB – what a spot start

Matt Jernstad: 2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 4-0 GB/FB – picked a guy off first … I keep thinking this guy’s name is Paul … doesn’t Paul work better with his last name than Matt?

Anderson Felix, DH: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Gary Sanchez, C: 0 for 5, 1 K, 3 PB, 1 E (throwing) – worst game of his career? … turns out he came out of yesterday’s game just so Kyle Perkins could get some playing time, no injury
Ramon Flores, LF: 3 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 BB – the box score says he played third, but I’m pretty sure that’s a mistake since he throws lefthanded … probably just got him mixed up with Jose Toussen
