2B Jesus Bastidas: 1-for-4, RS, SB (4)
DH Michael Hermosillo: 1-for-2, HR (5), RBI, 2 RS, BB, SB (4)
Walk-off home run. The veteran outfielder is hitting only .171/.289/.386, which is a little surprising as he has always hit in the minors. MLB is a different story.

This is his Triple-A debut. The 24-year-old hit .235/.350/.451 in 16 games for Somerset this season.

LHP Luis Severino: 3.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, HR
Severino topped out at 98 MPH (on his last pitch). He threw 49 pitches today. Could the Yankees use him for 65 pitches? Yes. Will they? I think they give him one more Scranton start.
