Make sure you scroll down for tonight’s game thread. Also make sure you check out Mike Ashmore‘s piece on long-time organizational catcher P.J. Pilittere, who spoke about his plans for when his playing career is over and what he’s doing to prepare for it.

Triple-A Scranton Game One (5-4 loss to Louisville in eight innings) faced a (theoretical) big leaguer
Kevin Russo, 2B: 0 for 4, 1 K, 1 E (missed catch)
Chris Dickerson, CF: 2 for 4, 1 2B, 1 SB
Jesus Montero, C: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 K – got a little seven game hit streak going
Jorge Vazquez, DH: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 K – last four hits have gone for extra bases (two doubles, two homers)
Mike Lamb, 1B & Greg Golson, LF: both 0 for 2, 1 K – Lamb walked, got hit by a pitch, and scored a run
Brandon Laird, 3B: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 3 K – pimped the homer off a reliever after whiffing twice in two at-bats against Volquez
Jordan Parraz, RF: 0 for 3, 1 SB, 1 HBP
Luis Nunez, SS: 1 for 1, 1 R, 2 BB
Manny Banuelos, RHP: 6 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 6-4 GB/FB – 65 of 91 pitches were strikes (71.4%) … he was up to 93 on the gun and pitched out of a number of jams, including man on third with no outs (ground out, line out, fly out) … only the third time he’s completed six innings this year, and he might have had another inning left in him … he allowed three hits to lefties, two off a former big leaguer (and Mike Axisa Prospect Crush Hall of Famer) … anyway, it’s another very good start for the youngest pitcher in the league
Logan Kensing, RHP: 1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 2-0 GB/FB – 16 of 27 were strikes (59.3%) … blew the save and Banuelos’ win
Kevin Whelan, RHP: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2-0 GB/FB – ten of 17 pitches were strikes (58.8%)

Triple-A Scranton Game Two (4-3 win over Louisville, walk-off style) makeup of yesterday’s rain out
Kevin Russo, 2B & Brandon Laird, 3B: both 0 for 3 – Laird struck out twice

Jordan Parraz, RF: 2 for 3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K, 1 E (fielding)
Doug Bernier, SS: 2 for 2, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 SB – had two hits in his last 14 at-bats combined (.143)
Pants Lendleton, RHP: 3.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 3-4 GB/FB – 49 of 72 pitches were strikes (68.1%) … only 36 K in 54.2 IP for SWB this year (5.93 K/9)
Andrew Brackman, RHP: 2.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 2 HBP, 1-3 GB/FB – 37 of 55 pitches were strikes (67.3%) … he was sitting 91-94 with the fastball … hit two of the last three men he faced, so his day ended on a sour note

Pat Venditte, SwP: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1-3 GB/FB – 15 of 27 pitches were strikes (55.6%)
Brad Halsey, LHP: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1-0 GB/FB – just five of eleven pitches were strikes, but the walk was intentional
