Triple-A Scranton
Game 1 (6-1 win over Durham in 7 innings)
Wilson Betemit: 1 for 3, 1 2B – Chad Jennings says the double banged off the top of the wall
Bernie Castro: 1 for 3, 2 R, 1 BB – picked off third … I’m sorry, but you just can’t get picked off third base, inexcusable
Brett Gardner: 0 for 3, 1 K
Jason Lane & Cody Ransom: both 2 for 3, 1 BB – Lane doubled … Ransom scored a run
Nick Green: 3 for 4, 1 R, 1 3B, 1 RBI
Chris Stewart: 1 for 2, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 HBP
Steven “don’t call me” White: 6 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 7 K, 1 WP, 6-4 GB/FB – great job picking up his team when they have a short staff
Billy Traber: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 1 HB – faced three lefties (Dan Johnson, Reid Brignac and one-time great Yankee prospect John Rodriguez) and K’ed the first two before plunking the third
