I’m a few days late on this, but for those of you who frequent Double-A Trenton games, Chase the Bat Dog is retiring next month. They’re having a whole big on-field ceremony, which is pretty awesome. Here are the details.
Triple-A Scranton was rained out. They’re going to play two tomorrow. Double-A Trenton, meanwhile, had a scheduled off-day.

- CF Ben Gamel: 2-4, 1 R
- 2B Rob Refsnyder: 1-4, 1 R, 1 K
- C Gary Sanchez: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K — six hits in his last 22 at-bats (.273), but four of them are doubles
- RF Yeral Sanchez: 1-4, 1 RBI, 2 K — 27-year-old Cuban outfielder joined the team last week after signing for $400k last summer
