DotF: Bird doubles, Sanchez homers in Scranton’s loss

Late Update: SS Tyler Wade was promoted to Double-A Trenton following tonight’s game, according to his representatives at Paragon Sports.

Random stat I came across earlier today: RHP Jonathan Holder and RHP Rookie Davis rank first and second in the minors with a 2.21 FIP and a 2.24 FIP, respectively. That’s among the 547 pitchers with at least 80 innings pitched. Luis Severino is ninth with a 2.46 FIP. He led the minors with a 2.40 FIP last year. How about that?
