River Ave. Blues ยป Heredia’s big day pushes Tampa to win

Heredia’s big day pushes Tampa to win

Yanks survive late innings, finish road trip 6-3

Carlos Silva was scratched from today’s start with shoulder stiffness, though Triple-A Scranton manager Dave Miley said he’s just being “pushed back.” Good news for Ivan Nova, I supposed. Austin Romine, meanwhile, has a sore back and neck following a collision at the plate the other day, and he might have a concussion. He’s already seen the team doctor, though there’s no timetable for his return to the lineup.

Triple-A Scranton (3-2 win over Toledo)
Greg Golson, CF: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 K
Ramiro Pena, SS: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI – 12 for his last 31 (.387) with three doubles and two homers
Jesus Montero, C: 0 for 4, 1 K
Jorge Vazquez, 1B: 1 for 4, 1 K
Brandon Laird, 3B: 2 for 3, 1 RBI – 13 for his last 28 (.464) with four doubles and a homer
Jordan Parraz, DH, Kevin Russo, 2B & Dan Brewer, RF: all 0 for 3 – Parraz struck out
Austin Krum, LF: 1 for 3, 1 SB – threw a runner out at second
Buddy Carlyle, RHP: 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 3-1 GB/FB – 35 of 51 pitches were strikes (68.6%) … solid job in the spot start for Silva
Ryan Pope, RHP: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1-3 GB/FB – 13 of 18 pitches were strikes (72.2%)
George Kontos, RHP: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1-2 GB/FB – 15 of 25 pitches were strikes
Kevin Whelan, RHP: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K – 12 pitches, ten strikes … he’s been every bit as good as Jon Albaladejo was closing games last year, which is pretty crazy

Double-A Trenton (5-2 win over New Hampshire)
Ray Kruml, CF & Addison Maruszak, 1B: both 1 for 4, 1 R – Kruml stole a base and struck out
Corban Joseph, 2B: 2 for 3, 2 R, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB – 11 for his last 33 (.333) with five doubles, seven walks, and four strikeouts
Bradley Suttle, 3B: 0 for 3, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 E (fielding)
Cody Johnson, DH: 3 for 4, 2 RBI, 1 K – 14 for his last 30 (.467) with two doubles and two homers
Jose Pirela, SS & DeAngelo Mack, LF: both 0 for 4, 1 K – Pirela drove in a run
Yadil Mujica, RF: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 K
R.J. Baker, C: 0 for 2, 1 RBI, 1 K – season debut
Craig Heyer, RHP: 6.1 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 6-5 GB/FB – 59 of 89 pitches were strikes (66.3%) … 1.47 BB/9 this year after 0.59 BB/9 last year … bust!
Josh Schmidt, RHP: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 1-0 GB/FB
Tim Norton, RHP: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 0-1 GB/FB – 44-8 K/BB in 29 IP

High-A Tampa (3-1 win over Lakeland)
Walt Ibarra, SS & Rob Lyerly, 3B: both 0 for 4 – Lyerly whiffed
Kelvin Castro, 2B: 3 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B
Zoilo Almonte, LF, Luke Murton, 1B & Kyle Higashioka, C: both 1 for 3 – Almonte got hit by a pitch and scored a run … Murton drove in a row and struck out twice … Higgy doubled and whiffed
Jason Place, DH: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 1 RBI
Taylor Grote, RF: 1 for 2, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K
Neil Medchill, CF: 0 for 3, 2 K
Jairo Heredia, RHP: 7 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 10 K, 6-3 GB/FB – picked a runner off first … very very nice, he’s starting to get some of that prospect stench back … plus he’s got an 80 profile pic
Chase Whitley, RHP: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 3-2 GB/FB

Low-A Charleston (4-2 loss to Augusta) bah, ruined the whole “a win at every level” thing
Slade Heathcott, DH: 3 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI – DH’ing after three days off, so he’s probably just a little banged up
Anderson Feliz, 2B, Rob Segedin, 3B & Eduardo Sosa, CF: all 0 for 4 – Feliz and Sosa struck out
Kyle Roller, 1B & Ramon Flores, LF: both 0 for 3, 1 BB, 1 K
Gary Sanchez, C: 0 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB
Kelvin DeLeon, RF: 1 for 4, 1 RBI, 2 K
Jose Mojica, SS: 2 for 4, 1 2B, 1 K
Nik Turley, LHP: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 3-4 GB/FB – ballin’ … 65-19 K/BB in 67.1 IP
Kramer Sneed, LHP: 2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 1-3 GB/FB – had just six walks all year coming into this game
Michael Recchia, RHP: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1-2 GB/FB
