Montero homers in Scranton loss

Update: Both the Double-A Trenton and Low-A Charleston games are over and have been added to the post.

Austin Krum was promoted to Triple-A Scranton, who is without outfielders Chris Dickerson (bigs), Greg Golson (hamstring), and Jordan Parraz (hamstring). Although he only has a .052 ISO in Double-A this year (.332 wOBA), he’s walked nearly as many times as he struck out (26 K, 25 BB in 181 PA) and is a perfect 14-for-14 in stolen base chances. Krum also led the system in walks last year (68), also spent with Trenton.
