Yankees Minor League Report 5/2/14: Gary Sanchez Crushes HR in Trenton Blowout

Scranton (Crushed by 9-18 Norfolk, 10-0)

OF Ramon Flores:  0-for-3, BB, K

22-year old, considered to be a bit of a tweener, did get a start in center tonight.  He won't be able to do that consistently, but it adds value when you can play there in a pinch.

Hitting .302 (43 AB)

C Austin Romine:  0-for-2, BB

SS Dean Anna:  1-for-4, 3B (1), 2 K

IF Scott Sizemore:  1-for-4, 3 K

Strikeouts are up to 29 in 57 AB.   That is a strikeout in more than 50% of his ABs, yet he is somehow hitting .316.

IF Corban Joseph:  1-for-3

2B Jose Pirela:  1-for-3

RHP Brian Gordon (L, 1-2):  5.2 IP, 8 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, HR
