Yankees Minor League Report 5/10/14: Pete O'Brien Hits First Double-A HR; Tyler Austin Returns; Greg Bird Hits First Tampa HA; Caleb Smith = Andy Pettitte?

Scranton (Lost to Durham, 9-2)

2B Jose Pirela:  2-for-4, HR (2), RBI, RS, 2 K
14 hits in last 39 AB.  
1B/OF Ramon Flores:  0-for-4, BB
1B Kyle Roller:  0-for-4, K
C Austin Romine:  1-for-3, BB, K
Has the average up to .212.
1B/3B Russ Canzler:  1-for-3, 2B (6), RBI, BB
OF Zoilo Almonte:  0-for-3, 2 BB, K
OF Antoan Richardson: 2-for-3, BB
UTIL Zelous Wheeler:  1-for-5, 2 K

RHP Shane Greene (L, 0-1):  3 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 2 K
5.68 ERA in 12.2 IP with 21 hits allowed, six walks, and 14 strikeouts.  Not a great start for Greene at all, but he is still well behind other pitchers at this point in terms of workload.
LHP Cesar Cabral:  1.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 1 K
9.45 ERA; 6.2 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 11 BB, 7 K.   Can you say implosion?
RHP Robert Coello:  2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K
0.68 ERA; 13.1 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 HR, 5 BB, 16 K
--------------------------------------
Trenton (Tied at 3 in the Bottom of the 13th, and now in a rain delay.   The Thunder actually used utility infielder Dan Fiorito to pitch the top of the 13th, and put up a 1-2-3 inning)

Here is how things looked at the time of the delay:

C/RF Pete O'Brien:  1-for-5, HR (1), 2 RBI, RS, K
Played RF tonight.  HR was 11th overall this season.
1B/OF Tyler Austin:  1-for-3, RS, 2 BB, K
First game since 4/23.   Played first base tonight.  With Kyle Roller now in Triple-A, there is room for Austin and perhaps O'Brien to get some work at first base.
OF Ben Gamel:  3-for-6, 2 SB (3)
C Gary Sanchez:  1-for-6, RS, 2 K
2B Robert Refsnyder:  2-for-5
Third consecutive 2-hit game.  With the contact rate way up since a tough start to the season, the hits were going to start falling eventually.
CF Mason Williams:  0-for-5, BB, K
All the way down to .194.
OF Taylor Dugas:  1-for-3, 2 BB
.288 with 12/12 K/BB ratio in 25 games.

RHP Caleb Cotham:  4.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 K
LHP Ty Webb:  1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Two nice outings after an initial drubbing.
RHP Trent Garrison:  3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
3.06 ERA; 17.2 IP, 10 H, 8 R, 6 ER, 0 HR, 9 BB, 11 K
RHP Jairo Heredia:  3 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K
3.10 ERA; 20.1 IP, 20 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 0 HR, 6 BB, 22 K.   In his last three appearances, Heredia has struck out 17 batters in 9 innings.
-----------------------------
Tampa (Lost to Lakeland, 5-3)
1B Greg Bird:  1-for-2, HR (1), 2 RBI, 2 BB, K
CF Jake Cave:  1-for-3, 2 BB, K
13-for-41 in last ten games.
3B Eric Jagielo:  1-for-4, 2 K
SS Cito Culver:  0-for-2, RS, BB, SAC
.203/.265/.244 in 123 AB with 11 BB and 33 K
1B Matt Snyder:  1-for-4
2014 debut for Snyder.  Drafted in 2012 out of Mississippi, he put up an impressive line (.299/.397/.428) in Staten Island that year.  Didn't play much last year, and when he did, he went 17-for-93 (.183).  23 years old.
2B Angelo Gumbs:  0-for-4, 2 K

LHP Miguel Sulbaran (L, 0-1):  5 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
RHP Stefan Lopez:  2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Tampa debut. In 10 innings for Charleston, he allowed two runs on four hits with three walks and nine strikeouts.
LHP James Pezos:  2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
4.60 ERA; 15.2 IP, 16 H, 9 R, 8 ER, 0 HR, 4 BB, 18 K.    Gave up seven runs (six earned) in his first three appearances; two runs total in his last seven appearances.
-----------------------------
Charleston (Lost to Savannah, 1-0)

1B Mike Ford:  2-for-4
Continues to hit.  Up to .333 in 108 AB; 7-game hitting streak.
SS Abiatal Avelino:  0-for-4
2B/SS Tyler Wade:  0-for-4, BB, K, SB (6)
OF Aaron Judge:  0-for-3, BB, K, E (2)
6-for-34 in last 10 games; 3-for-29 in May.
OF Michael O'Neill: 1-for-3, BB, SB (13)
The 13 stolen bases lead the organization.
2B Gosuke Katoh:  0-for-4, K
UTIL John Murphy:  1-for-1
Pinch-hit for Avelino late in the game.

LHP Caleb Smith (L, 1-1):  5 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 6 BB, 3 K
So how did Smith pull off this erratic outing without the aid of a double play?  He picked off three runners at first.
RHP Giovanny Gallegos:  4 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
3.34 ERA; 32.1 IP, 27 H, 17 R, 12 ER, 3 HR, 7 BB, 32 K.
