Yankees MILB 6/20: Tyrone Yulie: 7 No-Hit Innings

News:

LHP Carlos Rodon started his rehab stint in Somerset tonight.

IF Caleb Durbin, who is off to an impressive start in his first season with the Yankees’ organization, was placed on the injured list today for Somerset. Between Hudson Valley and Somerset, Durbin is hitting .292/.394/.400 in 216 plate appearances with 29 stolen bases in 33 attempts. He has struck out in only 6.9% of his plate appearances, which is second in all of MILB (if I don’t include players in the DSL). Only Cesar Prieto (Double-A, BAL) has a lower rate (6.8%).

Durbin was part of the package (along with RHP Indigo Diazthat the Yankees acquired from the Braves for LHP Lucas Luetge this past winter. The Braves designated Luetge for assignment back in May and outrighted him down to Triple-A once he cleared waivers.

CF Estevan Florial0-for-4
3B Oswaldo Cabrera1-for-3, HBP, CS (1)
1B Andres Chaparro: 2-for-4, 2 HR (13), 2 RBI, 2 RS, K
Chaparro breaks out of his 25-game homerless streak by compiling his third 2-HR game of the season. Maybe this is the start of a new surge (he hit 6 HR in a 5-game stretch back in April). 
RF Elijah Dunham1-for-2, BB
Dunham has a nice little 12-game on-base streak going.
C Carlos Narvaez1-for-3, K
2B Jamie Westbrook: 1-for-2, Catcher’s Interference
DH Josh Breaux0-for-3
SS Wilmer Difo1-for-3
LF Brandon Lockridge1-for-3, 2B (4)
Since promotion: 7-for-25 with four doubles and a pair of stolen bases.

RHP Randy Vasquez: (W, 2-7)  5.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 5 K
A needed strong effort for Vasquez, who was ineligible to be called up for tomorrow’s start.

LHP D.J. Snelten1.1 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K

Somerset (39-24) (Lost to New Hampshire, 4-1)

SS Trey Sweeney1-for-4, HR (8), RBI, RS, K
Sweeney has homered in three straight games. The power stroke is developing!
CF Jasson Dominguez0-for-3, BB, 3 K
You just get this feeling that Dominguez can’t find a consistent groove this year. The walks and the occasional power are nice – but we all would love to start seeing some 3-for-4’s, right?
C Austin Wells0-for-4, K
Wells is suddenly in a 0-for-13 slump in his last four games (hardly a big sample size)
1B T.J. Rumfield0-for-2, BB, HBP
3B Tyler Hardman0-for-3
DH Anthony Seigler0-for-3
RF Aaron Palensky0-for-2, BB, K
LF Jeisson Rosario0-for-3, 3 K
2B Max Burt1-for-3, K

LHP Carlos Rodon: (L, 0-1) 3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K
He can’t even win a Double-A game, and we expect him to be a savior?
RHP Blane Abeyta6 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 8 K
Abeyta did a solid job piggybacking Rodon. 

Hudson Valley (38-26) (Shut down Brooklyn, 1-0, to clinch the first-half title and a playoff berth)

1B Spencer Henson0-for-4, 3 K
RF Grant Richardson0-for-3, BB, 2 K, SB (7)
3B Eduardo Torrealba2-for-2, RBI, HBP
Torrealba’s 7th-inning RBI single provided all the offense needed. He is 22-for-75 (.293) at this level.

RHP Tyrone Yulie: (W, 3-4)  7 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 7 K
4.09 ERA (55 IP, 40 H, 33 R, 25 ER, 6 HR, 33 BB, 64 K). Outstanding effort tonight by the 21-year-old.
RHP Carlos Gomez: (S, 2)  2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
Gomez allowed a weak hit (questionable) in the 9th.

Tampa (31-33) (Defeated Ft. Myers, 8-6, on a walk-off HR)

2B Jared Serna1-for-5, RBI, SB (16)
.309/.372/.527 in 269 PA. He hasn’t been in an extended slump pretty much all season, even when he wasn’t hitting home runs. 
CF Anthony Hall: 1-for-4, BB, K
C Agustin Ramirez0-for-3, 2 BB
DH Daury Arias1-for-5, RS

Walk-off home run! Familia has 10 HR and 28 RBI in 17 games.
3B Jesus Rodriguez0-for-2, SF, RBI, BB
1B Omar Martinez: 1-for-4, RS, 2 K
RF Tayler Aguilar: 2-for-3, HR (5), RBI, RS, BB, K, SB (6)
Aguilar has homered in back-to-back games.

RHP Hayden Merda5.2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, HR
5.47 ERA (54.1 IP, 51 H, 37 R, 33 ER, 4 HR, 27 BB, 55 K). I like when young pitchers bounce back from bad outings (Merda had a 4.2 IP/9 ER outing last time out). 
RHP Yorlin Calderon2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
RHP Ocean Gabonia: (W, 3-0)  1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K

1B Enger Castellano1-for-4, HR (1), 2 RBI, RS

RHP Carlos Lagrange4 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, HR
Lagrange is a big kid who the Yankees signed for $10,000. They like their big, raw pitching prospects…
RHP Sebastian Keane1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Keane has a 14/3 K/BB in 7.1 innings. He is a 22-year-old college arm so they shouldn’t keep him here for too long.
