Montero pounds the Red Sox in SWB win

Five Staten Island Yankees were named to the NY-Penn League All Star Team: Mikey O’Brien, Preston Claiborne, Chase Whitley, Jose Mojica, and Eduardo Sosa. The linked article incorrect says outfielder Felix Sanchez plays for SI when he in fact is a member of the Lowell Spinners.

Meanwhile, Lance Pendleton has been promoted to Triple-A Scranton, and he’s hella excited. Francisco Arcia is out for the season with a broken finger after taking a foul ball off the digit the other day, though I would be surprised if Gary Sanchez was promoted to take his place. Not saying it’s impossible, but I would be shocked.
