Gumbs walks off with a win for Tampa

Got a whole bunch of notes…

RHP Rafael DePaula, RHP Gabe Encinas, LHP Dietrich Enns, and C Peter O’Brien have all been named to the Low-A South Atlantic League Southern Division All-Star Team. DePaula will start the game and Encinas will not pitch because he’s done for the year with an elbow injury.
Triple-A Scranton Roster Moves (Donnie Collins & Mark Feinsand): LHP Clay Rapada has been released while 2B Corban Joseph and RHP Kelvin Perez were placed on the DL. OF Brennan Boesch and LHP David Huff were added to the roster.
Double-A Trenton Roster Moves (Josh Norris): RHP Danny Burawa and C Tyson Blaser were activated off the DL. C Nick McCoy was placed on the DL, and RHP Branden Pinder was demoted to High-A Tampa. He’s been pretty awful this year.
