Yankees Minor League Report 7/16/14: Dante Bichette's Streak Reaches 18; Eric Jagielo Finally Returns; Rafael DePaula Continues to Pitch Well

Tampa (Lost to Palm Beach, 3-2)

3B Dante Bichette:  1-for-4, 2B (23), RS

Hitting streak jumps to 18.    He has seven doubles in 14 July games, and has gone from minor league fodder to someone that will reach Double-A coming off of a good season (provided an 0-for-45 isn't coming, which is always in the back of your mind with Bichette) at the age of 22 in 2015.  

3B Eric Jagielo: 1-for-4, RBI, K

.256/.337/.494.  First game since 5/20 (Just finished a 7-game rehab stint in the GCL)

OF Aaron Judge:  2-for-4

So far, he is living up to the advanced hype.

1B Greg Bird:  0-for-4, 3 K

.261/.351/.396 in 222 AB with 61 K

He really hasn't been all that special since returning from injury.

2B Angelo Gumbs:  2-for-4, 3B (3), HR (2), RBI, RS

.228/.278/.328 in 238 AB

SS Cito Culver:  1-for-4, K

RHP Rafael DePaula:  6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, HR

4.30 ERA; 83.2 IP, 84 H, 43 R, 40 ER, 5 HR, 35 BB, 97 K

After a two-start stretch where he gave up 13 runs in just three innings, he now has a five start stretch where he has allowed four runs over 28.1 IP with a 26/7 K/BB ratio.  

RHP Brett Gerritse (L, 3-5);  2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K

------------------

Charleston (Lost to Lexington, 7-5)

SS Tyler Wade:  3-for-5, RBI, RS, SB (15), CS (10)

His solid overall performance continues

OF Dustin Fowler:  1-for-4, 3B (5), 2 RBI, RS, K

24 XBH in 50 games; 36 runs batted in.

3B Miguel Andujar:  2-for-4, 2B (15)

2B Gosuke Katoh:  0-for-3, RS, BB

15-game hitting streak snapped

OF Mark Payton:  2-for-4, 3B (1), RS, BB, 2 K

11-for-30 since signing on the dotted line

C Eduardo de Oleo:  1-for-4, HR (11), RBI, RS

11 HR in 49 games after hitting five in his first 101 professional games.

RHP Gabriel Encinas:  2 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 1 K

LHP Omar Luis:  3 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K

RHP Angel Rincon:   3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

------------------

Staten Island (Defeated Williamsport, 7-3)

C Luis Torrens: 2-for-3, 2B (5), 2 RS, BB

Hitting .393 (22-for-56) at this level.  

2B/3B Ty McFarland:  2-for-4, 2B (11), RBI, RS, K

CF Devyn Bolasky:  1-for-4, 2B (5), 2 RBI, 3 K

Scouting report indicates he is a slap-type hitter who won't strike out and lacks extra base power.   I guess tonight, he didn't read his scouting report.

1B/OF Chris Breen:  0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, K

OF Austin Aune:  1-for-4, RBI, K

SS Vincent Conde:  1-for-3, RBI, RS, BB, SB (1)
