Greg Golson was 3 for 4 and a walk, scored 2 runs, drove in 1 and stole a base as Scranton broke open a close game with 5 in the 9th to top Buffalo, 7-2. Golson singled, stole second and scored the run to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead in the top of the 8th, then walked and scored again in the 5-run rally in the 9th. Greg is off to a .324 start for his new team!
Travis d'Arnaud has been named Florida State League Player of the week. Starting the season on a 9-game hitting streak, Travis is hitting .425, with 3 doubles, 3 homers and 10 RBI. John Mayberry has won the same honor in the International League, playing for Lehigh Valley. Mayberry was 11 for 21 (that's .524!) with 4 doubles and a home run for the IronPigs.
Carlos Carrasco threw 4 shut out innings before running into trouble in the 5th in Louisville. Carlos gave up 3 runs (only 2 earned) on 3 hits and 3 walks, striking out 7 and was the losing pitcher as the Bats went on beat the Clippers, 8-2. In Manchester, New Hampshire, Kyle Drabek fought his way through 5 innings to notch a 5-4 victory over Trenton Monday. Kyle gave up 3 runs on 5 hits and 5 walks (too many) to improve to 2-1 on the year.
In Tampa, the Threshers split a doubleheader with the Yankees, losing 3-1 in the early game, but coming back to gain the split with a 5-1 triumph in the nightcap. Jon Velasquez was the hard luck loser in game 1, tossing 3 innings in the spot start and allowing just 1 run. A big, bases clearing double by Troy Hanzawa was the big blow in the second game as the Thresher scored 4 runs in the top of the 6th to break a 1-1 tie. D'Arby Myers, Steve Susdorf, Fidel Hernadez and Korby Mintkin all had 2 hits for Clearwater. The Threshers are now 8-4 and in first place by 1.5 games over Lakeland in FSL North, and have an early game today. Trevor May will go today, having been pushed back a day due to the rain out last week.
The Lakewood BlueClaws parlayed 5 hits (2 by Jonathan Villar) into a 5-0 victory over the Greensboro Grasshoppers Monday, taking the series 3-1. 6 great innings by Jarred Cosart improved his record to 3-0, 2.65. Cosart gave up just 3 hits and 1 walk, striking out 10. An inning of scoreless relief each from Like Wertz, Jordan Ellis and Jacob Diekman and the BlueClaws have now tossed 25 consecutive scoreless innings. They will entrust this streak to Phillies' starter Joe Blanton tonight for 2 innings, or 30 pitches, before Matthew Way will take over.
