Josh Norris was at last night’s Double-A Trenton game, and he posted video of SS Gleyber Torres’ grand slam and 3B Miguel Andujar’s home run. Here’s the link. Norris also wrote something on RHP Domingo Acevedo’s Double-A debut, so check that out too.
Triple-A Scranton (5-4 win over Rochester in eleven innings, walk-off style)
- SS Tyler Wade: 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 E (missed catch)
- CF Dustin Fowler: 1-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K — six homers in 37 games this year after hitting 12 homers in 132 games last year … getting out of Trenton is good news for a left-handed hitter
- DH Clint Frazier: 1-5, 2 K
- 1B Mike Ford: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB — 9-for-30 (.300) with two doubles and four homers since the promotion
- LF Mason Williams: 0-4, 1 BB, 1 K
- RF Mark Payton: 2-5, 1 RBI, 1 K — walk-off single … also threw a runner out at second
- 2B Cito Culver: 2-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 E (missed catch) — seven homers in 30 games!

- LHP Tyler Webb: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 1/0 GB/FB — 31 of 44 pitches were strikes (70%) … 32 strikeouts and zero walks in 22 innings this year … he’s 26, left-handed, and at Triple-A for the third straight full season … being a Rule 5 Draft pick this spring might have been his best chance to reach MLB at this point
- RHP Ben Heller: 2 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 4/0 GB/FB — 13 of 18 pitches were strikes (72%) … 28/7 K/BB in 21.1 innings
Double-A Trenton is currently in extra innings. Here’s the box score. I’ll update this post once the game ends, as long as that happens reasonably soon. DH Tyler Austin went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in his first minor league rehab game. That’s the most important bit of news from this game.

Low-A Charleston (18-4 beatdown of Augusta) everyone in the starting lineup reached base at least twice
