DotF: Frazier has big game, McKinney homers in AAA loss

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (10-5 loss to Durham)

SS Tyler Wade: 1-5, 2 K — seems like he’s been striking out a lot, but his 23.2 K% since being sent down isn’t too far out of line with last year’s 19.4 K% at this level
CF Clint Frazier: 3-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 CS
3B Brandon Drury: 0-2, 3 BB, 1 K
LF Ronald Torreyes: 0-4, 1 R, 2 K — he played five total innings in right field with the Yankees the last two years … this is his first start in the outfield since 2015
RF Billy McKinney: 1-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K — four homers in his last eight games
RHP Erik Swanson: 2.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 1 HR, 1/0 GB/FB — 44 of 66 pitches were strikes … 73/19 K/BB in 59.2 innings
RHP Brady Lail: 1.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HR, 1 WP, 2/1 GB/FB — 26 of 36 pitches were strikes (72%)

RHP Trevor Stephan: 5 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 1 HB, 6/3 GB/FB — 60 of 90 pitches were strikes … 2.57 ERA and 67/13 K/BB in 56 innings now
RHP Domingo Acevedo: 4 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 4/1 GB/FB — 32 of 51 pitches were strikes (63%) … the bullpen thing isn’t permanent, apparently … Acevedo’s going to work in long relief for the time being while he builds up arm strength

LF Alex Palma: 0-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K

2B Oswaldo Cabrera: 1-4, 2 RBI
3B Dermis Garcia: 0-4, 3 K
