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

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

RHP Manny Barreda: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HB, 1/3 GB/FB

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

C Francisco Arcia: 1-2, 1 2B, 1 RBI — was taken out after seven innings, once the score got out of hand
