Triple A

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees won a close scoring game over the Lehigh Valley IronPigs by a score of 2-1. Starting for the Yankees was the biggest let down of our season Ian Kennedy and he pitched a good game giving up 1 earned run on 6 hits in 5 innings of work for the win. His era is 2.10 but what good is this strong outing if he can’t pitch in the majors? J.B. Cox pitched a scoreless 6th inning and Phil Coke pitched 1.2 scoreless innings giving up 1 hit. Scott Strickland pitched 1.1 scoreless innings for his 10th save. Strickland almost gave up a home run by a matters of inches when there were two outs in the 9th inning. The hitting stars of the game for Scranton worth mentioning were center fielder Brett Gardner who went 3 for 4 with 1 run scored and second baseman Chris Basak went 1 for 2 with 1 rbi. I don’t see how being down in Scranton is going to help Gardner any more. I feel he needs to be called up for good.

Double A

The Trenton Thunder lost a low scoring game to the Bowie Baysox by a score of 2-1. Starting for the Thunder was Eric Hacker and he gave up 2 earned runs on 5 hits in 6 innings of work along with 6 strikeouts for the loss. Hacker hasn’t been as dominant as he was in Tampa but he’s been pitching well enough to get the job done and help the Trenton Thunder win. Replacing Hacker to start the 7th inning was Zachary Kroenke and he pitched 2 scoreless innings giving up 1 hit along with 4 strikeouts. Kevin Whelan pitched a perfect 9th inning. The hitting stars of the game for Trenton worth mentioning were center fielder Austin Jackson who went 2 for 4 with his 16th stolen base and second baseman Kevin Russo who went 1 for 3 with 1 rbi.
