Kennedy headlines night of dominant pitching performances

Cashman's persistence landed Teixeira
Catching some 'breaks' with Andy Pettitte

Tonight’s David Price – Matt Wieters matchup was rained out. For shame.

Triple-A Scranton (2-1 win over Lehigh Valley in 11 innings)
Kevin Russo: 3 for 5, 2 2B, 1 SB – I wouldn’t be completely shocked if he was the big league utility infielder in the second half
J-Rod: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 K
Todd Linden: 0 for 5
Shelley Duncan & Juan Miranda: both 1 for 5, 1 K – Shelley drove in a run … Miranda doubled & drove in a run
Austin Jackson: 2 for 5, 3 K – 3 hits in his first 2 games … holding his own so far
Eric Duncan: 0 for 2, 1 BB
Angel Berroa: 1 for 4, 1 RBI
Chris Stewart: 0 for 4, 1 K
Ian Kennedy: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB,  11 K, 2-5 GB/FB – 68 of 86 pitches were strikes (79.1%) … 11 K ties a career high
David Robertson: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 2-5 GB/FB – 27 of 39 pitches were strikes (69.2%) … most dominant pitcher in the system over the last two years is at it again
Brett Tomko: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K3-0 GB/FB – 21 of 35 pitches were strikes (60%) … allowed two hits in the top of the 9th, but he escaped without allowing a run
JB Cox: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1-2 GB/FB – picked up the save … only 7 of 14 pitches were strikes

Double-A Trenton (4-3 loss to Binghamton)
Eduardo Nunez: 2 for 5, 1 E (fielding) – he & Ramiro Pena got the most unwarranted hype of the preseason
Reegie Corona: 0 for 3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 E (fielding)
Colin Curtis & Seth Fortenberry: both 0 for 4, 1 K
Edwar Gonzalez: 3 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI
Marcos Vechionacci: 1 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 E (throwing) – just stay healthy Vech
Chris Malec: 2 for 3, 1 RBI, 1 K
Zach McAllister: 5 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 3 HB, 10-2 GB/FB – solid debut for a 21-yr old in AA
Kevin Whelan: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 0-1 GB/FB
Wilkins Arias: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 1 HB, 3-0 GB/FB – one of the walks was intentional
Josh Schmidt: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K

High-A Tampa (2-1 win over Lakeland)
The Austins: both 0 for 3 – Krum drove in a run with a sac fly … Romine drew a walk & swiped a bag
Eric Fryer: 3 for 4, 1 SB
Jesus Montero, Brandon Laird & Mitch Hilligoss: all 1 for 4 – Montero caught for the second consecutive game, so it looks like he & Romine will be sharing catching duties in blocks of games rather than one at a time, which is the better for their development… Hilligoss K’ed
Damon Sublett: 0 for 4, 1 K, 2 E (fielding, throwing) – that’s three errors in two games
Wady Rufino: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 K
Addison Maruszack: 1 for 3, 1 R
Dellin Betances: 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 K, 5-6 GB/FB – only two walks … love it
Amaury Sanit: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 2-3 GB/FB – 29-yr old Cuban defector spent last year in the Dominican … keep an eye on him, he’s an interesting guy and has a chance to rocket up the ladder Edwar style
Jon Ortiz: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 2-0 GB/FB – last year’s Low-A supercloser gets a shot at High-A this year

Low-A Charleston (4-2 win over Rome)
Carmen Angelini: 0 for 4, 1 K
Ray Kruml & Brian Baisley: both 2 for 4, 1 R – Kruml swiped a bag … Baisley doubled twice & drove in a run
David Adams: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 CSm 1 E (fielding)
Abe Almonte & Taylor Grote: both 1 for 3, 1 K – Almonte scored a run & drove one in
Melky Mesa: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 K
Garrison Lassiter & Chase Weems: both 0 for 3 – Lassiter K’ed twice, Weems once
DJ Mitchell: 6 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 1 HB, 9-2 GB/FB – picked a runner off first … Yanks have high hopes for the 10th rounder out of Clemson
Dan Kapala: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 4-0 GB/FB
Pat Venditte: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1-1 GB/FB
