Scranton over Pawtucket, 5-2

• Ian Kennedy was solid again, giving up 2 runs on 6 hits and a walk in 7 innings of work, and striking out 6.  With Darrell Rasner's recent mediocrity, could Kennedy get the call soon?  I would think so.
• Scott Patterson got the save, striking out 2 and allowing 2 hits in 2 scoreless.
• Brett Gardner was 0 for 5.
• Bernie Castro was 3 for 5, but was caught stealing.
• Matt Carson was 2 for 5 with a double to raise his average to .301.  He also stole a base
• Juan Miranda was 2 for 4 with a walk, and is up to .303.
• Ben Broussard was 2 for 5 with a double and a homer.

Both of Trenton's games against Portland were rained out Tampa loses to Lakeland, 2-1 (7 innings, game 1)

• Ryan Pope started, and despite pitching well took the loss.  In 6 innings, Pope gave up 2 runs (both on solo homers) on 4 hits and 2 walks, and struck out 3.
• Grant Duff pitched a perfect 7th and struck out 1.
• Luis Nunez was 1 for 4 with 2 walks and a stolen base.
• Eduardo Nunez was 1 for 4.
• Andres Perez had the only other hit, going 1 for 2 with a triple.

Tampa loses to Lakeland again, 4-2

• Jason Stephens started, giving up 4 runs on 9 hits and a walk in 6 innings, and striking out 3.
• Michael Obradovich, promoted from the GCL, struck out the side in a perfect 7th.
• Mitch Hilligoss and Kevin Smith were both 1 for 3 with a double.
• Josh Kreuzer and Kyle Anson were boht 1 for 3.
• Seth Fortenberry was 3 for 3 with a double.

Charleston defeats Greenville, 9-3

• Lance Pendleton was the starter, giving up 2 runs on 9 hits and a walk in 5 innings, and striking out 7.
• Chase Vacek pitched 1 1/3 perfect innings.
• Justin Snyder and Austin Romine were both 0 for 5.
• Brad Suttle was 1 for 5 with a solo homer.
• Jesus Montero, catching today was 4 for 5 with 2 doubles and his 13th home run.  With this outburst, Jesus raised his average to .316 on the season.  His OPS is up to a lofty .840.  He is hitting .333 in his last 10 games,
• Austin Krum was 2 for 4.
• Brandon Laird continued to rake, going 2 for 4 with his 15th home run and a double.
• Carmen Angelini was 1 for 4, raising his average to .235 on the season.
• Prilys Cuello was 3 for 4 with a triple, a homer, and a stolen base.  He seems to have moved to leftfield for the long term, or at least in deference to Snyder.

Staten Island falls to Brooklyn, 5-3

• Casey Erickson started, giving up 2 runs on 6 hits, and striking out 3 in 5 2/3 innings.
• Brad Rulon gave up a run on a hit and 2 walks in 2 innings, striking out 4.  This outing raised Rulon's ERA to 0.63, as it was only his 2nd run allowed this season.
• Pat Venditte struck out 3 and walked 2 in 3 scoreless innings.  Venditte, who had not pitched since July 24th due to illness (I think) made his return in style.  The Rulon-Venditte combo should help the Yankees reliably close out games.
• Addison Maruszak and David Adams were each 2 for 6.  Maruszak's average is up to .324 on the season.
• Brian Baisley was 1 for 4.
• Jack Rye was 1 for 5 with a walk and a homer off the Met's sandwich-round pick, Brad Holt.
• Ben Blumenthal was 1 for 1 with a double.
• Steven Strasbaugh was 2 for 4 with a double.
• Taylor Grote was 1 for 5.

The GCL Yankees were off tonight.
