Yankees Minor League Roundup for May 10th

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

The future Yankees were a goose egg last night, losing the three games that finished. The Trenton Thunder continue to be far and away the best of the bunch.

TRIPLE-A

Scranton Wiles Barre RailRiders (18-16) lost to the Durham Bulls 9-2

Errors and poor pitching can be attributed to what happened to the RailRiders last night. Starting pitcher Shane Greene was shellacked for 3 runs and 8 hits given up in 3 innings of work. He also had 4 walks. Reliever Cesar Cabral did even worse, giving up 3 runs and walking 3 of his own in just 1.2 innings. The RailRiders did manage to put 8 hits on the board. Jose Pirela led the offense last night with a home run and going 2-4 on the night.

Chase Whitley takes the mound for the RailRiders today. The 24 year old righty is 3-2 with a 2.49 ERA on the season.

BOXSCORE

DOUBLE-A

Trenton Thunder (22-13) suspended with the Reading Fightin Phils (15-16) 3-3

The Trenton Thunder did not get to finish their game against the Fightin Phils last night on account of rain. Play was suspended in the 13^th inning. They will finish that game today then play one more. Jeremy Bleich will start for the Thunder in the 2^nd game tonight.

SINGLE-A

Tampa Yankees (16-19) lost to the Lakeland Flying Tigers 23-12 (5-3)

The Tampa Yankees seem to not be able to get back to .500 as their woes continued against the very strong Flying Tigers last night. The 5-3 loss can be attributed to a lack of hitting. The Yankees only had 5 hits on the night. Greg Bird was the lone standout, going 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks. Bird is now hitting .286 on the season. Starting pitcher Miguel Sulbaran gave up all 5 runs.

The Tampa Yankees are off today, and will continue their fight to .500 on Monday.

BOXSCORE

Charleston Riverdogs (18-16) lost to the Savannah Sand Gnats (24-9) 1-0

Pitching was definitely not the issue Saturday night. Both teams only managed 5 hits, with the Sand Gnats squeaking a run by. Caleb Smith was the hard luck loser last night, giving up the one run in 5 innings of work, along with 3 strikeouts. Mike Ford “led” the hitting by going 2-4. He has his average up to .333 on the season.

Brady Lail takes the mound tonight for the RiverDogs. He is 4-1 with a 3.98 ERA on the season.
