Triple-A Scranton (6-4 loss to Columbus in 10 innings, walk-off style) Columbus leads the best-of-series 1-0 … David Phelps gets the ball tomorrow against old buddy Zach McAllister … Jesus Montero is out with some kind of lower leg infection, hopefully nothing serious
Reid Gorecki, CF: 1 for 5, 2 K
Kevin Russo, 2B: 0 for 3, 1 BB
Juan Miranda, 1B & Brandon Laird, 3B: both 0 for 4 – Laird struck out twice
Jorge Vazquez, DH: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K – hit a game tying homer in the top of the ninth
Chad Huffman, RF: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Eric Bruntlett, SS & P.J. Pilittere, C: both 1 for 4 – P.J. doubled and scored a run, so he did a decent job of approximately Montero’s production
Justin Christian, LF: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K, 1 E (fielding) – he apparently had an adventure in the outfield that led to some Columbus runs
D.J. Mitchell: 5 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 6-4 GB/FB – 65 of 102 pitches were strikes (63.7%)
Zack Segovia: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 3-1 GB/FB – 18 of 27 pitches were strikes (66.7%) … dude came in with the bases loaded and no outs, and escaped without allowing a run thanks to a strikeout, force at the plate, and a routine grounder … that’s huge
Eric Wordekemper: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 2-1 GB/FB – just 18 of 38 pitches were strikes (47.4%), but it’s worth noting that two of the walks were intentional
Amaury Sanit: 0 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K – all four pitches were strikes … served up a walk-off homer to a guy that hit .238/.332/.336 this season
Double-A Trenton (2-0 win over New Hampshire) Trenton leads the best-of-five series 1-0 … Andy Pettitte gets the ball tomorrow, and will throw four innings or 65 pitches, whatever comes first … he’ll be backed up by Adam Warren
Austin Krum, CF, Marcos Vechionacci, 1B, Damon Sublett, LF, Luis Nunez, SS & Matt Cusick, 2B: all 0 for 3 – Krum walked stole a base, scored a run, got caught stealing & K’ed twice … Sublett K’ed twice, Nunez & Cusick once each … Nunez also committed a throwing error
Justin Snyder, 3B: 1 for 4, 1 2B
Dan Brewer, RF: 1 for 2, 1 RBI, 1 BB – got picked off first
Austin Romine, C: 1 for 3, 1 K, 1 PB
Rene Rivera, DH: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K – added that big insurance run with a solo shot in the eighth
Dellin Betances: 5.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, 2-4 GB/FB, 2 E (pickoff, throwing) – 58 of 92 pitches were strikes (63%) … he was sitting 91-92 in the first, touching 95 … 28-4 K/BB ratio in 20 IP at AA
Wilkins Arias: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1-1 GB/FB
Josh Schmidt: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 1-0 GB/FB – I have a feeling that you’re going to see him in pretty much every game the rest of the way, he’s one of those rubber armed guys that can be used in any situation
J.B. Cox: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K – apparently he had a little hissy fit and slammed the ball on the ground instead of giving it to manager Tony Franklin when he was removed
Pat Venditte: 0.1 IP, zeroes, 1 K
Ryan Pope: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
High-A Tampa (7-0 win over Dunedin) Tampa swept the best-of-three series and advances to the best-of-five League Championship Series, which starts on Friday … they’ll take on either Charlotte or Bradenton, that series is tied at one and will be decided tomorrow … don’t hold me to it, but I believe Graham Stoneburner gets the ball in Game One, Brett Marshall in Game Two, and Josh Romanski in Game Three
Ray Kruml, LF & Jose Pirela, 2B: both 1 for 5 – Kruml K’ed twice … Pirela drove in a run, stole a base, scored two & K’ed
Bradley Suttle, 3B: 3 for 5, 3 2B, 2 RBI – now that’s a freaking game
Myron Leslie, 1B & Jack Rye, LF: both, 2 for 5, 1 R – Leslie doubled & K’ed twice
Addison Maruszak, SS: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K
Zoilo Almonte, RF: 2 for 4, 1 R, 2 2B, 1 BB, 2 K – big game for him too
Trent Lockwood, DH: 1 for 4, 1 BB, 1 K
Jose Gil, C: 3 for 4, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 HBP – and him too, another big performance
Craig Heyer: 2 IP, zeroes, 3 K, 3-0 GB/FB – left after a rain delay
Trenton Lare: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K – he left after a second rain delay
Michael Solbach: 3.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 5-2 GB/FB – he’s up from Charleston to help out during the playoffs
Chase Whitley: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 0-1 GB/FB – caps off a perfect series for the pitching staff … they allowed zero runs on eight hits (six singles, two doubles), six walks, and 13 strikeouts
Low-A Charleston, Short Season Staten Island, and the Rookie GCL Yanks are done. None of the three qualified for the postseason.
