Triple-A hitters have finally figured out Kei Igawa, but remarkably he still won last night's Scranton-Rochester game. That's because the Yankees rallied from a 6-1 deficit to beat the Red Wings 10-6.
Chris Stewart homered, and he and Justin Christian drove in 3 runs each as Scranton scored 3 in the 5th, 2 in the 6th, and 4 more in the 7th. Greg Porter also hit his 2nd home run.
Chad Jennings reports that Phil Coke may be on his way up from Trenton to make at least one start for Scranton.
Tampa lost their 4th straight, 8-7 in extra innings, after blowing a 3-run lead in the 9th to the Clearwater Phillies. The loss overshadowed a big night for Kevin Smith, who went 5-6 with 2 doubles, a home run, and 4 RBI. Mike Dunn had a mediocre outing, allowing 3 runs in 5 innings, but still stood to get the win. But the Phillies roughed up closer Josh Schmidt, before beating Stephen Artz in the 12th. Tim Battle also homered for the Yankees.
The Charleston RiverDogs won their 6th straight, a 5-2 victory over the Rome Braves. Justin Snyder and Brad Suttle drove in 2 runs each and three Dogs pitchers combined on a 5-hitter. Jairo Heredia allowed just 2 hits over 4 innings before giving way to Jesse Hoover (3-2) who picked up the win with 4 innings of work. Chace Vacek picked up his 4th save, striking out 2 of 3 in the 9th.
More on the game from the Charleston Post and Courier.
4 RiverDogs have been selected to play in the South Atlantic League All-Star game. Catcher Jesus Montero, 2nd Baseman Justin Snyder, and pitchers Jason Stephens and Jonathan Ortiz will travel to Greensboro, N.C. for the game on June 17.
The Trenton Thunder had the night off, but start a 3-game series tonight with the Connecticut Defenders.
