AAA: So far, the killer Bs of Betances and Banuelos have been disappointing. While Banuelos is on the DL after two bad starts, Betances had his third straight disappointing start as Empire St. (SWB) lost 5-3.
Betances 4 2/3, 5 R, 7 H, 4 walks, 4 K. (0-2, 10.38). Manny Delcarmen 2 1/3 scoreless, Eppley and Whelan each one scoreless.
DeWayne Wise was 2 for 2 and is now at .500. Ramiro Pena had a 2-run HR.
AA: 6-3 Win for Trenton. Shaeffer Hall 5 IP, 3 R, 8 H, 1 walk, 2 K. Mike Dubee and Preston Claiborne each with two scoreless IP, 4 K for Claiborne. Zoilo Almonte 2 h, 2 RBI. 2 hits, solo HR Cody Johnson, 2 h, 2-Run HR Melky Mesa, HR Kevin Mahoney.
High A: 6-2 win for Tampa. Nik Turley is doing well, and could be in AA later this year. 7 IP, 0 R, 6 H, 0 walks and 7 K. Eduardo Sosa 3 H, 2 RBI. Kelvin Castro 2 h, 1 RBI; 2 h, 2 RBI Ramon Flores. The best thing about Turley? He’s 22 and a lefty. Big, too. 6’6″, 230.
Low A: Another good outing for Jose Campos, the “other guy” in the Montero deal that the Yanks picked up. 5 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 1 walk and 7 K. He is now 3-0, 0.56. Zach Varce and Ben Paullus each with 2 scoreless & 3 K in Charleston’s 5-1 win. Gary Sanchez 4 for 5, 2 doubles, 2 RBI. Tyler Austin 2 h, triple, 1 rbi. Mason Williams 2 hits, his 6th SB.
