DotF: Refsnyder, Sanchez extend hitting streaks in Triple-A win

Make sure you check out Tim Casey’s article on 1B Nick Swisher. Swisher spoke about trying to stick around and get back to the big leagues, and, as you’d expect, it’s chock full of bro quotes.

Triple-A Scranton (6-4 win over Pawtucket)

• LF Jake Cave: 3-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI — threw a runner out at third … does he automatically go back to Double-A with Ben Gamel on his way back down?
• DH Aaron Judge: 1-5, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K
• C Gary Sanchez: 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 PB  — 16-for-40 (.400) during his nine-game hitting streak
• RF Rob Refsnyder: 1-4, 1 K, 1 SB — back in right field … hitting streak is up to 16 games and on-base streak up to 20 games
• 1B Nick Swisher: 1-4
• RHP Brady Lail: 6 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 6/5 GB/FB — 69 of 98 pitches were strikes (70%) … this is his ninth career Triple-A start, and it’s only the second time he had more strikeouts than walks
• RHP Johnny Barbato: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 20 of 38 pitches were strikes (53%) … first appearance since being set down
• RHP Anthony Swarzak: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1/1 GB/FB — 19 of 26 pitches were strikes (73%) … so I guess the move to the bullpen was not a one-time thing despite all the pitching injuries

Double-A Trenton (3-0 loss to Reading)

• 2B Tyler Wade & CF Dustin Fowler: both 0-4 — Fowler struck out once
• 1B Tyler Austin: 1-4, 1 K — they were getting no-hit until his seventh inning single
• RHP Cale Coshow: 5.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 2 K, 1 HB, 9/5 GB/FB — 61 of 104 pitches were strikes (59%)

High-A Tampa (5-0 win over Lakeland)

• LF Cesar Diaz: 0-3, 2 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB
• 2B Billy Fleming: 2-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB — he’s up to .336/.408/.500 on the season
• 3B Miguel Andujar: 0-4
• SS Abi Avelino & RF Austin Aune: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K — Avelino stole a base and Aune threw a runner out at the plate
• LHP Ian Clarkin: 7 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 10 K, 1 WP, 3/4 GB/FB — there we go, there’s the outing we’ve been waiting to see since he came back from last year’s elbow injury
• LHP James Reeves: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K — 31/9 K/BB in 18 innings for last year’s tenth round pick

Low-A Charleston was rained out. They’re going to play a doubleheader tomorrow.
