DotF: Gamel’s walk-off single gives Scranton’s latest win

Some quick notes:

• LHP James Pazos threw a simulated game this afternoon, reports Shane Hennigan. He’s been on the Triple-A DL since mid-June with an unknown injury. Pazos is getting healthy just in time for September call-ups.
• Thanks to yesterday’s great start, RHP Chad Green made an appearance in today’s Prospect Report even though he’s in the big leagues. He’s still prospect eligible though, so there you go.

Rookie Pulaski (6-0 loss to Bristol in eight innings) the game was completed early due to rain

• SS Oswaldo Cabrera: 0-3, 1 K

• LHP Evan Rutckyj: 0.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K — first game since mid-April due to some sort of elbow surgery … it couldn’t have been too serious if he’s back already, so maybe a bone spur or something?
