DotF: O’Brien goes deep, Refsnyder extends multi-hit game streak

June 10, 2014 by Mike 70 Comments

Game 63: Great Northwest
Eighth inning rally leads Yankees to 3-2 win over Mariners in series opener

After 60 games and a 158 wRC+ with Double-A Trenton, 2B Rob Refsnyder was promoted to Triple-A Scranton, according to Nick Peruffo. Refsnyder played 62 games with Low-A Charleston last year (173 wRC+) before being promoted last year, so he’s on the same basic schedule.

In other news, OF Adonis Garcia has been placed on the Triple-A Scranton DL, according to Chad Jennings. He left yesterday’s game with an unknown leg injury. Donnie Collins says RHP Zach Nuding was demoted back down to Double-A. Also, LHP Dietrich Enns underwent some kind of elbow surgery today based on his Twitter feed.

Triple-A Scranton (6-3 loss to Toledo in ten innings)

  • LF Jose Pirela: 2-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 SB, 1 CS — threw a runner out at the plate … 20-for-44 (.455) in his last ten games
  • DH Frankie Cervelli: 1-4 — he’ll continue his rehab with Double-A Trenton tomorrow since the RailRiders are heading out on a road trip
  • RF Zoilo Almonte: 1-3, 1 BB, 1 K
  • SS Zelous Wheeler: 0-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K
  • 1B Kyle Roller: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI — third homer in his last six games
  • 3B Scott Sizemore: 0-3, 1 RBI
  • 2B Rob Refsnyder: 2-4 — eight straight multi-hit games and 13 in his last 14 games… doesn’t miss a beat after the promotion
  • C Austin Romine: 1-3
  • RHP Shane Greene: 4 IP, 8 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 4/1 GB/FB — 60 of 87 pitches were strikes (69%)

  • RHP Preston Claiborne: 2 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 1/2 GB/FB — 15 of 27 pitches were strikes (56%)

Double-A Trenton (7-4 loss to Richmond)

  • CF Mason Williams: 2-4, 2 RBI, 1 SB — 13-for-40 (.325) in his last ten games
  • LF Ben Gamel: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB — 10-for-29 (.345) during his seven-game hitting streak
  • C Gary Sanchez: 1-4, 1 RBI
  • 1B Peter O’Brien: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K — 22nd homer of the year ties with him Cubs 3B Kris Bryant for the second most in baseball behind Rangers 3B Joey Gallo (23)
  • RF Tyler Austin: 0-4, 2 K
  • RHP Bryan Mitchell: 4.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 3 WP, 5/2 GB/FB — 56 of 89 pitches were strikes (63%) … 15 runs in 20.1 innings since coming off the disabled list
  • LHP Fred Lewis: 2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 1/0 GB/FB, 1 E (throwing) — 29 of 42 pitches were strikes (69%) … first multi-strikeout outing since April 21st

High-A Tampa (5-4 win over Clearwater)

  • CF Jake Cave: 0-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K

  • RHP Nick Goody: 1 IP, zeroes, 3 K — 25/4 K/BB in 14.1 innings since returning from Tommy John surgery … he was one of their best bullpen prospects before blowing out his elbow and a case can be made he is the best right now

Low-A Charleston (8-5 win over Greenville)

  • SS Tyler Wade: 1-5, 1 3B, 3 RBI, 1 K — base-clearing triple capped off the go-ahead six-run eighth inning
  • RF Aaron Judge: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 E (fielding) — the All-Star Game is one week from today and I have to think he’ll be promoted to Tampa shortly thereafter
