Scranton (Lost to Charlotte, 9-5)

2B Robert Refsnyder:  1-for-5, RS, 2 K
1B Kyle Roller:  2-for-4, HR (9), RBI, RS, 2 K
18th HR in 81 games between Trenton/Scranton
UTIL Jose Pirela:  0-for-5, RBI, K
Scranton's lone rep in the ASG earlier this week
OF Zoilo Almonte:  1-for-5, 2B (12), RBI, RS, K
C John Ryan Murphy:  0-for-4, 2 K
Average dips below .200
UTIL Adonis Garcia:  1-for-4, 2 RBI
C/1B Austin Romine:  1-for-4
OF Antoan Richardson:  2-for-3, RS, CS (1)
Now 20-for-21 stealing

RHP Bryan Mitchell (L, 0-1):  4 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 4 HR
You definitely wouldn't classify this as a good start.
RHP Danny Burawa:  1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, HR
5.70 ERA; 36.1 IP, 39 H, 23 R, 23 ER, 3 HR, 22 BB, 48 K
UTIL Pat Venditte:  2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, HR
3.94 ERA; 32 IP, 34 H, 14 R, 14 ER, 1 HR, 11 BB, 35 K for Scranton
RHP Matt Daley:  1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
--------------------------
Trenton (Lost to Binghamton, 8-4)

CF Jake Cave:  1-for-5, 2B (1), RS, K
Double-A debut for the 21-year old.  He hit .304/.354/.395 in 385 AB for Tampa
CF Mason Williams:  2-for-5, 2 RBI, RS, K
DH'd tonight as Cave played center.  I wonder if part of the plan is to have him concentrate more at the plate by DHing a bit more, while Cave mans center.
C Gary Sanchez:  1-for-5, 3 K
3B Rob Segedin:  1-for-4, BB, K
20-for-51 in July
1B/3B/OF Tyler Austin:  1-for-3, BB, K
C/1B Pete O'Brien:  0-for-4, 2 K
12-for-40 in July

LHP Manny Banuelos (L, 0-3):  3.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
6.03 ERA; 31.1 IP, 32 H, 23 ER, 21 ER, 4 HR, 15 BB, 28 K for Trenton
RHP Jairo Heredia:  1.2 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
64 IP, 71 H, 34 R, 31 ER, 1 HR, 21 BB, 68 K
RHP Nick Rumbelow:  1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Double-A debut as he has moved through three levels this season.  7th round pick in 2013 out of LSU
---------------------
Tampa (Defeated by Palm Beach, 7-3)

1B Greg Bird:  2-for-4, HR (5), RBI, RS
.265/.354/.412 in 226 AB
.233/.281/.367 in 14 July games.
3B Dante Bichette:  2-for-4
.287/.370/.426 in 338 AB
19-game hitting streak
OF Aaron Judge:  2-for-4, RS, K
.297/.429/.505 in 91 AB here; .323/.428/.523 in 325 AB overall
2B Angelo Gumbs:  2-for-4, HR (3), 2 RBI, RS, K
.233/.282/.343 in 236 AB; second consecutive game with HR
3B Eric Jagielo:  0-for-4, 2 K
.250/.330/.482 in 164 AB
SS Cito Culver:  1-for-3, BB, K
.215/.286/.283 in 353 AB

LHP Conner Kendrick (L, 3-7):  4 IP, 8 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
6.24 ERA; 53.1 IP, 71 H, 40 R, 37 ER, 1 HR, 22 BB, 43 K
The bullpen may be in his future.  So may be a resume writer.
LHP Jacob Lindgren:  1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
Tampa debut.  Now has 16 strikeouts in seven professional innings.  He has now struck out seven straight hitters (had a 1-inning, 4 K performance his last time out when he was in Charleston).   It likely won't be long before he is trying out Double-A hitters.
RHP Cesar Vargas:  1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
2.40 ERA: 48.2 IP, 38 H, 19 R, 13 ER, 2 HR, 12 BB, 53 K between Charleston/Tampa
-----------------
Charleston (Swept DH from Lexington, 6-2 and 5-1)

3B Miguel Andujar:  4-for-6, 3 2B (18), 4 RBI, 3 RS, BB
His nice turnaround continues.   Andujar was a sleeper prospect entering the season, but had a rough start that he is now rebounding from.   Now 29-for-83 since ASB.
OF Dustin Fowler:  2-for-8, 2B (12), RS, K, CS (2)
2B Gosuke Katoh:  1-for-5, 3B (6), RS, BB, 2 K
SS Tyler Wade:  1-for-6, RS, BB, 2 K
OF Mark Payton:  2-for-4
OF Michael O'Neill:  5-for-8, 3 RS, 2 SB (27)
Raised average up to .252.  Obviously, O'Neill has his flaws - but he has hit well since the calendar turned to June and was a college draftee - may as well just let him play in Tampa now.
C Eduardo de Oleo: 2-for-3, RBI
C Jackson Valera:  5-for-5, 2B (8), 5 RBI, RS
22-year old has pretty much never hit in his years with the organization.   But I am not going to be so mean that I would leave this night out of the report.
UTIL John Murphy:  1-for-6, RBI, 3 K
C Kale Sumner:  1-for-2, K
OF Brandon Thomas:  2-for-3, RS, K, SB (10)
All the way up to .150!

RHP Rookie Davis (W, 4-8):  5.2 IP, 10 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
4.66 ERA; 85 IP, 91 H, 48 R, 44 ER, 3 HR, 34 BB, 66 K
Second consecutive nice outing; we'll see if it continues.
LHP Evan Rutckyj (S, 1):  1.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
Now has 28 K in 17 IP at this level; but his early struggles in Tampa will stick out until he tries out the level again.

LHP Ian Clarkin:  2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
3.38 ERA; 58.2 IP, 52 H, 25 R, 22 ER, 5 HR, 19 BB, 64 K
Only threw 22 pitches.  Was just activated from DL, so let us hope that is the reason for the short stint.
RHP Giovanny Gallegos (W, 2-4):  4 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K
A strong finish is crucial if he wants to regain what was decent prospect status.

Staten Island (Defeated Williamsport, 5-4)

C Luis Torrens:  1-for-4, 2B (6), K
22-for-53 in July.   I wonder if they will give him some more Charleston AB later this season?
OF Austin Aune:  2-for-4, 2B (10), HR (1), RBI, RS, K, CS (3)
First HR since 2012
1B/OF Chris Breen:  0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, K
.276/.390/.510 in 98 AB; 18 walks
CF Devyn Bolasky:  2-for-4, 2 RBI, K
2B/3B Ty McFarland:  0-for-4, K
.288/.336/.459 in 111 AB
SS Vince Conde:  1-for-4, RBI, RS
1B Connor Spencer:  1-for-3, RS, K
OF Nathan Mikolas:  0-for-4

RHP Jordan Foley:  3.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, HR
First professional runs allowed (14.1 IP).  Has a 16/4 K/BB ratio
RHP Jonathan Holder (W, 1-0):  3.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
5.68 ERA: 12.2 IP, 19 H, 9 R, 8 ER, 0 HR, 5 BB, 10 K
RHP Conor Mullee (S, 1):  1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
2.45 ERA; 14.2 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 0 HR, 5 BB, 18 K
