It was a really frustrating day for the Yankees minor league affiliates as they went just 1-4 today here is a recap of all the days action.
TRIPLE-A
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (51-56) lose to the Pawtucket Red Sox (61-48) 8-5
Once again it was pitching that hurt the RailRiders as Bruce Billings only lasted three innings and gave up five earned runs. On the bright side Adonis Garcia was able to get two hits on the day and raised his batting average to .310. John Ryan Murphy was also able to drive in two runs on two hits as well. The RailRiders will take on Pawtucket again today at 1:05 pm the pitching match up is Matt Barnes (5-7 4.89) against Bryan Mitchell (1-1 4.15).
DOUBLE-A
Trenton Thunder (50-58) lose to the Binghamton mets (63-43) 10-7
It was a shootout between the Thunder And the Binghamton Mets as both offenses combined for 17 runs. Slugger Peter O’Brien hit his 21st home run of the year, which was a two run blast. Designated hitter Tyler Austin put in a four hit day that included 2 runs batted in. The pitching staff got roughed up giving up all ten runs in the first 6 innings and that proved to be to much for the Thunder to bounce back from. Trenton will take on Binghamton in the final game of the series at 1:05 pm Manny Banuelos (0-3 5.20) Binghamtons pitcher is TBA.
SINGLE-A
High-A
Tampa Yankees (52-53) Lose to the Ft Myers Miracle (64-39) 8-6

Eric Jagielo had a two hit game and is starting to look more comfortable at the plate. Dante Bichette Jr was able to drive in two runs with a double and continues to be impressive at the plate.
