DotF: Solarte partays in Scranton's loss

Triple-A Scranton (6-3 loss to Buffalo)

LF Jose Pirela: 2-5, 1 SB
2B Rob Refsnyder: 0-5, 1 K — this is only the fourth time in 25 games with at least five plate appearances that he’s gone hitless
RF Zoilo Almonte: 1-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K — I know he can’t hit lefties, but I have a hard time believing he isn’t a better option than Alfonso Soriano at this point
1B Kyle Roller: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 BB
3B Yangervis Solarte: 3-3, 1 2B, 1 BB — hopefully he tears it up down here and forces his way back into the MLB picture
DH Scott Sizemore: 0-3, 1 BB, 2 K
C John Ryan Murphy: 1-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K — second homer in 13 games since being sent down
RHP Edgmer Escalona: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2/5 GB/FB — 37 of 47 pitches were strikes (79%) … got the spot start in place of RHP Bruce Billings, who was a late scratch … safe to assume Billings is on his way to join the MLB team to give the taxed bullpen a fresh long man
LHP Francisco Rondon: 2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 1/2 GB/FB — 29 of 47 pitches were strikes (62%)
SwP Pat Venditte: 0 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 0 K — six of 13 pitches were strikes
RHP Matt Daley: 2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1/3 GB/FB — 20 of 28 pitches were strikes (72%) … 36/7 K/BB in 25.1 innings at this level

Double-A Trenton (3-1 loss to New Hampshire)

CF Mason Williams, 1B Peter O’Brien & RF Tyler Austin: all 0-4– O’Brien struck out once, Austin twice
LF Ben Gamel: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K — threw a runner out at second … second homer of the year and tenth of his career
C Gary Sanchez: 3-4, 1 2B, 1 K — 14-for-37 (.378) with three doubles and a homer in his last ten games
RHP Zach Nuding: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4K, 7/5 GB/FB, 1 E (pickoff) — 55 of 84 pitches were strikes (65%)

High-A Tampa (5-4 loss to Dunedin)

CF Jake Cave: 3-5, 1 R — 19-for-50 (.380) in his last ten games
SS Cito Culver: 2-5, 1 R, 2 K — had two hits in his previous 30 at-bats (.067)
1B Greg Bird: 0-5, 2 K
3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K — 10-for-34 (.294) during his modest eight-game hitting streak
RF Aaron Judge: 1-3, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB — threw a runner out at first as part of a double play
RHP Rafael DePaula: 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 4/6 GB/FB — 85/32 K/BB in 72.2 innings this year … he threw 113.1 innings last season, so there is still plenty of time before they shut him down

Low-A Charleston (9-1 win over Rome)

LF Michael O’Neill: 0-3, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB, 1 HBP
SS Tyler Wade: 2-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 K
RF Dustin Fowler: 2-5, 2 R, 1 3B, 1 HR, 5 RBI — eight doubles, four triples, and seven homers in only 42 games
3B Miguel Andujar: 2-3, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 BB — .301/.368/.473 with a 14/11 K/BB in his last 26 games following a very slow start
CF Mark Payton: 0-4, 1 K — pro debut for this year’s seventh rounder
2B Gosuke Katoh: 1-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K, 1 HBP, 1 E (fielding) — 11-for-30 (.367) during his little eight-game hitting streak
RHP Rookie Davis: 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 11/4 GB/FB — 60 of 88 pitches were strikes (68%)
LHP Jacob Lindgren: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 2/0 GB/FB — eight of 14 pitches were strikes (57%) … if I had to put money on it right now, I’d bet on him not making his MLB debut this year but coming to camp with a legitimate chance to win a bullpen job next spring

Short Season Staten Island (4-3 loss to Hudson Valley in ten innings, walk-off style)

LF Chris Breen: 0-5, 3 K
2B Ty McFarland: 2-5, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 E (fielding) — six doubles in 17 games as a pro
CF Austin Aune: 1-5, 3 K
C Luis Torrens: 3-5, 1 R, 1 3B, 1 PB — six passed balls in six games at this level … 12-for-50 (.240) in 15 games since coming back from the shoulder problem
RF Nathan Mikolas: 1-4, 1 R, 2 K
RHP Jordan Foley: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 2/2 GB/FB
RHP Andy Beresford: 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 6/0 GB/FB

Rookie GCL Yanks1 (7-6 loss to GCL Tigers)

SS Jorge Mateo: 0-3, 1 R, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 CS — first caught stealing in a dozen attempts this year
3B Eric Jagielo: 0-3, 1 BB — played eight innings … I have to think he’ll play a full nine innings at some point before returning to Tampa
CF Leonardo Molina: 2-5, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 3 K
RF Alex Palma: 1-4, 1 2B
LHP Orby Taveras: 2.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 2 HB, 4/1 GB/FB — 10/3 K/BB in 14 innings
RHP Manolo Reyes: 1.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2/2 GB/FB
