The minors today

AAA: SWB swept a DH.

Game 1: There are times when Dellin Betances shows his potential, but far too often he lets you down. Today he showed his potential with five no-hit innings as SWB won 5-1. He walked 4 and K’d 3. Sam Demel 2 IP, 1 unearned run. LF Zoilo Almonte 2 hits, HR, 2 RBI. 1B Dan Johnson 2 h, rbi.

Game 2: A 2-1 win. Chris Bootcheck, 34, who had an unimpressive MLB career mostly as a reliever, is having a good year as a starter at AAA. 6 IP, 1 R, 4 H. He is now 4-0, 0.60. Ronnier Mustelier solo HR.

AA: Trenton lost 5-1. Caleb Cotham 2 scoreless innings as the starter. Jeremy Bleich 5 R in 2 2/3. DH Tyler Austin 2 h, triple, RBI.

The minors tonight.

AAA: The Yanks will be calling up Preston Claiborne to fill Joba’s place on the team while Joba is on the DL. Claiborne, a 25-yr.-old RHP, was 0-0, 3.48 for SWB so far this year with 3 saves. 10 K in 10 1/3. Last year for AA Trenton and AAA SWB, he was a combined 6-2, 2.96, 6 saves, 78 K in 82 IP.

Luckily nothing was wrong with Mustelier, he just went right to AAA. It was strange how they did it though. Started for A+ last night, pulled after one inning and no at bats. You think he’d have played longer and at least received one AB before switching.

SWB won 4-1 tonight. Brett Marshall 7 scoreless IP. Mustelier 3B, 0 for 3 with a walk in his first game (full game, that is) after coming off the DL. RF Addison Maruszak double and 2 RBI. 2 H, triple, and an RBI for CF Melky Mesa.

AA: 2-1 win for Trenton. Nik Turley 6 IP, 1 R, 2 H and 8 K. LF Ramon Flores 2 H, double, RBI. 2 doubles, RBI for C Nick McCoy.

High A: Tampa lost 8-0, getting just five hits and striking out 11x. Corey Black went 5, 3 R and 11 K.

Low A: Charleston got shut out 6-0. Dan Camarena 6 R, 4 ER in 4 IP. C Pete O’Brien and DH Rey Nunez 2 hits each.

 

Just a note. You are free to comment, but I do delete all spam. Keep it intelligent and keep it (for kid’s sake) CLEAN.
