Huuuuughes and Rauuuuul bury Mariners

If you’re wondering what Jorge Vazquez is up to, Mike Ashmore points out that he’s back playing in the Mexican League this summer. He’s hitting .273/.344/.473 with three homers in 15 games for Tigres de Quintana Roo after the Yankees released him at the end of camp. It wasn’t much of a secret that JoVa was getting tired of playing in Triple-A, but apparently none of the other 29 clubs were willing to give him a shot.

Triple-A Empire State (3-2 win over Durham, walk-off style)
2B Kevin Russo: 1-5, 1 R, 1 SB
LF Colin Curtis: 1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — walk-off single
1B Steve Pearce: 1-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — has replaced JoVa and then some
DH Jack Cust & CF Ronnie Mustelier: both 0-4 — Cust struck out twice … Mustelier played center, eh? interesting
3B Brandon Laird & C Frankie Cervelli: both 1-4 — Laird doubled

RF Cole Garner: 0-4, 1 K
SS Yadil Mujica: 2-4, 1 2B
RHP Nelson Figueroa: 6 IP, 9 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 8/2 GB/FB — 62 of 91 pitches were strikes (68.1%)
LHP Juan Cedeno: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 20 of 35 pitches were strikes (57.1%)
RHP Kevin Whelan: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 3/0 GB/FB — 16 of 22 pitches were strikes (72.7%)

Double-A Trenton (5-1 win over Portland)
DH Abe Almonte: 1-2, 2 R, 2 BB, 1 K — eight hits in his last 23 at-bats (.348)
2B Corban Joseph, DH Cody Johnson, 3B Kevin Mahoney, RF Dan Brewer & SS Addison Maruszak: all 1-4 — Johnson hit a solo homer and struck out thrice … Mahoney and Maruszak each struck out twice, and the latter also scored a run … Brewer stole a base
1B Luke Murton: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI
CF Melky Mesa: 1-3
C Jose Gil: 0-3, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 SB, 1 CS
RHP Cory Arbiso: 7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 HB, 12/4 GB/FB — 60 of 93 pitches were strikes (64.5%) … easily his best start of the year and maybe the best of his pro career
RHP Kelvin Perez: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 18 of 32 pitches were strikes (56.3%)

High-A Tampa (4-2 loss to Lakeland)
LF Ramon Flores: 0-3, 1 R, 2 BB — eight walks in his last ten games
2B Kelvin Castro: 3-5, 1 K, 1 E (fielding)
C J.R. Murphy: 0-3, 1 BB
1B Kyle Roller: 0-1, 1 R, 1 RBI, 3 BB, 1 K — seven walks in his last five games
DH Tyson Blaser & CF Eduardo Sosa: both 1-4 — Blaser struck out once, Sosa twice … Sosa also got caught stealing
RF Neil Medchill: 0-4, 3 K — 13 strikeouts in his last eight games
3B Hector Rabago & SS Jose Mojica: both 2-4 — Rabago struck out … Mojica drove in a run
LHP Nik Turley: 5 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 7 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 3/3 GB/FB — first start back from a blister problem, so he gets some slack
LHP Aaron Dott: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 5/1 GB/FB
RHP Manny Barreda: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HB, 1/3 GB/FB

Low-A Charleston (16-2 win over West Virginia) still no Mason Williams and Gary Sanchez, but the good news is that neither guy is on the DL
2B Angelo Gumbs: 3-6, 2 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 K, 2 SB — 12 hits in his last 25 at-bats (.480), and he’s also 13-for-14 in stolen base chances during that time … dude is out of his mind right now
SS Cito Culver: 0-6, 1 K, 1 E (fielding)
3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 3-4, 3 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HBP — four straight multi-hit games, now nine hits in his last 17 at-bats (.529)
RF Tyler Austin: 2-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — 25 extra-base hits in 31 games
CF Ben Gamel: 3-6, 1 R, 1 2B, 5 RBI, 1 K– got picked off first … second homer in three games
1B Casey Stevenson: 0-2, 1 R, 1 HBP, 1 E (fielding) — left the game in the sixth, an inning after getting plunked
1B Rey Nunez: 0-3, 1 R, 1 K
DH Kelvin DeLeon: 4-5, 4 R, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 1 K — nine hits in his last 14 at-bats (.643) … another guy who’s absolutely locked in
C Francisco Arcia: 1-2, 1 2B, 1 RBI — was taken out after seven innings, once the score got out of hand
C Nick McCoy: 1-1, 1 R, 1 BB — so Sanchez isn’t on the DL but they’re carrying a third catcher? hmmm
LF Ali Castillo: 1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Bryan Mitchell: 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 8 K, 8/2 GB/FB — 22/10 K/BB in his last 21 IP
RHP John Brebbia: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 3/1 GB/FB
