Charleston RiverDogs (A)

Tyler Austin: 2-4, 2 HR, 7 RBI
Mason Williams.: 3-5, 3 R, 2B, 2 RBI
Cito Culver: 3-4, 2B, 3B, 3 R, 3 RBI, 2 BB

Jose Campos: 2.2 IP, 8 ER, 7 H, 3 BB, 3 K

**The RiverDogs hot-hitting offense bailed Campos out from a poor start, with Tyler Austin going yard twice (one of which was a grand slam) to lead the South Atlantic League with a total of 8 homers on the year.

Tampa Yankees (A+)

Rob Segedin: 1-3, R, BB, K
JR Murphy: 0-4, K
Shane Brown: 1-2, BB, RBI

Shane Greene: 5.0 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 6 K

**Tampa sticks with the trend of getting just 3 hits. Not a good strategy if you’re looking for a win.

Trenton Thunder (AA)

Melky Mesa: 2-2, 3 BB, R
Walter Ibarra: 2-6, 2B, 3B, 2 RBI, K
Abraham Almonte: 2-5

Preston Claiborne: 2.1 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 BB, 4 K

**Trenton batters went 1-10 with runners in scoring position, but still managed a 4-3 win in 11 innings.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (AAA)

Jayson Nix: 2-4, R, 2B, 2 RBI, K
Kevin Russo: 2-4, R, 2B, 3 RBI, BB, K
Francisco Cervelli: 3-5, 2B, RBI, R

Chase Whitley: 1.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 BB, 2 K

**Ramiro Pena got ejected in the 8th inning. Personally, I’m having a hard time picturing Pena doing anything worthy of being ejected.
