Update: Scranton’s second game is over, so the post has been updated.
Jorge Vazquez is your Triple-A International League Offensive Player of the Week, which is usually what happens when you hit five homers in seven days. Dellin Betances made 50 throws from flat ground today and had no trouble with his blistered finger. He told Mike Ashmore that he’ll be pitching again “hopefully by next week.” Manny Banuelos will start tomorrow, his first outing following his blister.
Both Carmen Angelini and Jairo Heredia were placed on High-A Tampa’s disabled list for unknown reasons. Remember, Jairo left his start after just an inning the other night, so clearly something’s up. Mike Gipson was placed on Charleston’s disabled list as well.
Triple-A Scranton Game One (6-4 win over Lehigh Valley in seven innings) makeup of the April 8th rain out
Greg Golson, RF: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 K – threw a runner out at third
Ramiro Pena, SS & Brandon Laird, 3B: both 0 for 3 – Pena drew a walk
Jesus Montero, C: 3 for 4, 1 R – he’s now hitting .452, yawn
Jorge Vazquez, 1B: 2 for 3, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 E (missed catch) – takes over the minor league lead with his seventh homer
Chris Dickerson, CF: 2 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 K – got picked off first
Jordan Parraz, DH: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 3B, 1 RBI – second straight game with a triple, his third of the year … he has the same number of triples as he does doubles and homers combined
Justin Maxwell, LF: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 K – second straight game with a bomb
Kevin Russo, 2B: 1 for 3, 1 K – gets his average over .100 with that hit (.108)
Andrew Brackman, RHP: 5 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 2 HB, 4-3 GB/FB – 50 of 86 pitches were strikes (58.1%) … nightmare first inning went HB, SB, HB, single (runner thrown out at third), ground out, homer, homer, single, fly out … he retired 11 of the next 15 men after that, so it wasn’t a total disaster start
Andy Sisco, LHP: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K – 11 of 18 pitches were strikes (61.1%)
Kevin Whelan, RHP: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2 WP, 2-1 GB/FB – 17 of 27 pitches were strikes (63%)
Triple-A Scranton Game Two (5-3 loss to Lehigh Valley in seven innings)
Kevin Russo, 2B: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 K – hey look at that, best day of the season for him
Dan Brewer, DH: 2 for 3, 1 2B – not playing much, which is a shame, but at least he’s doing when he does get penciled into the lineup
Jorge Vazquez, 3B: 1 for 4, 1 R – what, no homer? lame
Chris Dickerson, LF: 1 for 3, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 SB

Amaury Sanit, RHP: 2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 1-2 GB/FB – 36 of 64 pitches were strikes (56.3%) … 64 pitches to get six outs is some kind of special

Mark Prior, RHP: 1 IP, zeroes, 1-2 GB/FB – half of his ten pitches were strikes … he hit 90 on the gun … first appearance since the move up from Charleston

Bradley Suttle, 3B: 3 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B – nine for his last 19 (.474)
Cody Johnson, DH & Melky Mesa, CF: both 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB – Johnson whiffed twice, Mesa once
Corban Joseph, 2B, Addison Maruszak, 1B & Ray Kruml, RF: all 1 for 3 – CoJo drove in a run, walked, and got picked off first … Maruszak stole a bag, drove in a run and whiffed … Kruml struck out twice
Steve Garrison, LHP: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 6-4 GB/FB – 43 of 64 pitches were strikes (67.2%) … apparently he was on a strict pitch count for whatever reason
