DotF: Four Staten Island pitchers combine for no-hitter

Triple-A Scranton (8-1 win over Charlotte)

• LF Mason Williams: 1-4, 1 BB, 1 CS
• CF Jake Cave: 1-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K — five homers in his last 12 games now
• 3B Miguel Andujar: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K — left the game the inning after being hit by the pitch … he did stay in to run the bases … they were probably being cautious in the blowout game
• RF Billy McKinney: 3-4, 3 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — 12 homers sets a new career high … he hit eleven back in 2014 and eleven total from 2015-16
• 1B Ji-Man Choi: 1-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI
• RHP Domingo German: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 1 HB, 7/4 GB/FB — 49 of 76 pitches were strikes (64%)
• RHP Nick Rumbelow: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 3/1 GB/FB — 21 of 31 pitches were strikes (68%) … 29/7 K/BB in 24.1 innings back from Tommy John surgery … I wonder if he’ll find himself back on the 40-man roster this winter … he was non-tendered last year, which means he’ll automatically become a minor league free agent after each season
• RHP Ben Heller: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 0/1 GB/FB — nine of 13 pitches were strikes

Double-A Trenton Game One (8-7 win over Altoona in eight innings)

• 2B Jorge Mateo: 2-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 K, 1 SB, 1 CS — had been in a 2-for-22 (.091) rut
• SS Thairo Estrada: 1-5, 2 R, 1 K, 1 SB, 1 E (fielding)
• DH Ryan McBroom: 3-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI — that’s three homers in five games since the trade, or one more than Rob Refsnyder hit in his last 140 games (at whatever level)
• CF Rashad Crawford: 0-4
• 3B Abi Avelino: 3-4, 2 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 SB, 1 E (throwing)
• LHP Daniel Camarena: 4.2 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 6/3 GB/FB — 58 of 88 pitches were strikes (66%), plus he picked a runner off first
• RHP Colten Brewer: 2.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2K, 4/0 GB/FB — 22 of 30 pitches were strikes (73%)

Double-A Trenton Game Two (5-1 loss to Altoona in seven innings) makeup of their June 22nd rainout

• SS Thairo Estrada: 0-3, 1 BB
• 1B Ryan McBroom: 1-3, 1 BB
• 2B Abi Avelino: 0-3
• RHP Raynel Espinal: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 1/2 GB/FB — 30 of 50 pitches were strikes … he started in place of RHP Zack Littell, who was a healthy scratch per Joel Sherman … that doesn’t necessarily mean Littell will be traded, but it’s a pretty good indication his name has come up in trade talks, so the Yankees are making sure he doesn’t get hurt before the deadline

High-A Tampa (11-3 win over Daytona)

• CF Jeff Hendrix: 3-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 K
• SS Kyle Holder: 2-5, 2 R

• RF Alex Palma: 0-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 CS
• 1B Tim Lynch: 2-4, 2 R, 2 HR, 3 RBI — last year’s ninth rounder has five homers in his last six games, and nine homers in 35 games overall this season
• RHP Taylor Widener: 4.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 5/6 GB/FB — 52 of 87 pitches were strikes (60%) … sixth straight start the converted reliever has failed to complete five innings
• LHP James Reeves: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 2/2 GB/FB — 16 of 29 pitches were strikes (55%)

• RF Isiah Gilliam: 0-4, 1 K
• RHP Rony Garcia: 5.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 5/3 GB/FB — 58 of 95 pitches were strikes (61%) … 35/13 K/BB in 39.2 innings for the 19-year-old

• LHP Justin Kamplain: 2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 24 of 35 pitches were strikes (69%)
