Yankees MiLB Roundup for August 12th: Starting Pitching and Rain Headline The Day

TRIPLE A

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (59-64) defeat Louisville Bats (60-64) 6-1

Banuelos made the start and was lights-out over five innings. He allowed just one run on two hits and struck out four. Had it not been for a wild pitch in the third inning that allowed a runner to advance to second and then score on a single, Banuelos may have been unblemished through five innings. The bullpen was able to shut Louisville down the rest of the way.  The offense collected eleven hits on the day. Zoilo Almonte led the charge with three. Rob Refsnyder and Kyle Roller each added two hits.  Jose Pirela broke out of his slump with a triple and two RBI. Prior to Tuesday, he had been hitless in his last five games.

The RailRiders will host Louisville again in the third game of this four game series Wednesday. Pat Venditte (2-4, 3.56 ERA) will be on the mound for SWB, facing off against David Holmberg (1-6, 4.74 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05.
