Triple-A

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders defreated the Pawtucket Red Sox 4-0

Second base prospect Robert Refsnyder paced the RailRiders with a 3-for-4 night, that included a double, but it was Taylor Dugas who drove in the runs for Scranton, recording a pair of RBI. Zelous Wheeler also had a pair of hits in a 2-for-3 effort.

Box Score

Double-A

The Trenton Thunder took down the New Hampshire Fisher Cats by the slim margin of 2-1.

Starting pitcher Jairo Heredia was the true star of the game for the Thunder, tossing 5 innings of 1-run baseball, while striking out 4, and not walking a single hitter. It’s a good thing, because the Thunder bats failed to push much thunder across the dish.

Mason Williams and Rob Sedegin each has a 2-hit night. Williams continues to raise his average after a horrible start, now batting .230 on the season. The Thunder pitching staff combined to strike out 12 Fisher Cat hitters.

Matt Tracy (7-2, 3.61) gets the nod today for the Thunder, while New Hampshire will start P.J. Walters (1-0, 2.70), with the first pitch slated for 1:05 p.m. ET

Box Score

Single-A Advanced

The Tampa Yankees got smoked by the Daytona Cubs 11-4.

Not much went right for the T-Yanks starter Conner Kendrick, who continues to struggle this season. In 2 2/3 innings, he allowed 6 earned runs, on 5 hits, walking 4, and only striking out 1. Gregory Bird led the hitting attack for the Yanks with a pair of doubles, raising his average to .276 for the season on a 3-hit night. Dante Bichette, Jr. had a pair of knocks as well, along with Yeicock Calderon and Matt Snyder.

Miguel Sulbaran (1-1, 3.50) gets the nod for the Yankees today, and Daytona counters with Rob Zastryzny (1-6, 5.80), with the first pitch scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET.

Low-A

The Charleston RiverDogs took a tough loss to the Kannapolis Intimdators by the final of 6-5.

Mikeson Oliberto led the Dogs’ hitting attack, with a pair of hits and a pair of runs driven in. Other than that, it was thin. Tyler Wade did work three free passes on the day for Charleston however.

Brady Lail (7-3, 3.49) toes the rubber for Charleston, while the Intimidators send Thad Lowry (2-4, 4.39) to the hill.
