Scranton does it’s best Charleston impersonation

Triple-A Scranton (9-1 win over Durham)
Brett Gardner: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K – played LF … his foot isn’t bothering him anymore, so me thinks the Yanks are trying to increase his versatility a bit
Bernie Castro: 1 for 4, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Juan Miranda: 1 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K – 9 walks, 4 K this year
Shelley: 3 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 BB – hitting .500-.560-1.136-1.696 in 5 games since being sent down
Jason Lane & Cody Ransom: both 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 K – Ransom doubled & drove a run in
Chris Stewart: 2 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB
Justin Christian: 0 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB – played CF … he’s already versatile, he’s played all over the outfield plus the middle infield spots in his pro career
Dan Giese: 4.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 6-6 GB/FB – started for Steven White, who was pushed back to tomorrow … this was Giese’s first professional start, and it looks like he’ll hold down Alan Horne’s rotation spot for the time being
Scott Strickland: 3.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K
Edwar: 1 IP, zeroes – what, no K’s?

Scranton’s game was over by the third inning; they batted around in the second before a single out was recorded. Here’s how the inning played out: single, single, double (1 run scores), single (1 run scores), wild pitch (1 run scores), single, walk, single (1 run scores), single (1 run scores), single (1 run scores), walk (1 run scores), pop out, strikeout, wild pitch (1 run scores), strikeout. Phew.

Justin Snyder: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 RBI
Brandon Laird: 0 for 2, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 SB, 1 E (fielding) – playing 3B and batting third because Bradley Suttle is on the DL with a minor hip problem
Jesus Montero: 1 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 K – driven in the winning run in 3 of the last 4 games
Wady Rufino: 1 for 4
Carmen Angelini & Taylor Holiday: both 1 for 3, 1 R – Angelini stole 2 bases … Holiday drove a run in & K’ed
