Tampa & Staten Island end their seasons with losses

Triple-A Scranton (2-1 loss to Lehigh Valley in 10 innings, walk-off style)

Juan Miranda, 1B: 2 for 5, 1 K
Colin Curtis, CF: 0 for 2 – he was pulled for no apparent reason in the middle of the fifth inning (literally in the middle of the defensive inning, not between innings), so it’s safe to assume he’s on his way to New York with Nick Swisher and Austin Kearns banged up

Brandon Laird, 3B: 2 for 4, 1 RBI – nine for his last 22 (.409) after the brutal rough patch

Brett Marshall: 4 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 3-2 GB/FB – late season promotion is a nice reward for his recent stretch of dominance
Ryan Flannery: 2 IP, zeroes, 3 K, 1-2 GB/FB
Chase Whitley: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 1 HB, 1-1 GB/FB – up from Staten Island with the bullpen in need of help following Pat Venditte’s promotion
Preston Claiborne: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1-1 GB/FB
Nathan Forer: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 2-1 GB/FB

Short Season Staten Island (7-4 loss to Vermont) their season is over … they finished at 34-40 and basically at the bottom of the McNamara Division … no postseason for them, so they won’t get a chance to defend last year’s championship … for shame
Shane Brown, LF: 0 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB – 37 walks, 28 strikeouts
