News:
Nothing.
Scranton (19-9) (Defeated Jacksonville, 2-0. It is their second straight shutout)
2B Caleb Durbin: 1-for-4, 2B (11), SAC
Durbin has a sneaky .459 SLG (his 11 doubles are second in the International League). As for the SAC, it is rare for me to type that nowadays. It isn’t a common occurrence within the organization.
CF Everson Pereira: 1-for-4
Pereira’s hitting streak is up to 7.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-4, RS, 3 K
Between here and Somerset: .301/.372/.410 in 94 PA. He does have a 33.3% K rate since his promotion, so that needs to come down.
RF Oscar Gonzalez: 1-for-3, BB, K
DH Jose Rojas: 1-for-3, RS, BB
C Luis Torrens: 1-for-4, RBI, K
3B Josh VanMeter: 1-for-4, RBI, 2 K

2.13 ERA (12.2 IP, 11 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 HR, 1 BB, 16 K). Mauricio walked 19 batters in 48.2 innings last season. The 27-year-old is making a push to make his MLB debut in 2024.
LHP Oddanier Mosqueda (S, 2): 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
1.76 ERA (15.1 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 2 HR, 7 BB, 21 K)
Somerset (10-14) (Lost to New Hampshire, 10-9)
CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-6, RBI, SB (4), 2 K
He had a chance to be the hero with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th, but it just wasn’t meant to be.
3B Jon Berti: 1-for-4, RS, BB, 2 K
He missed last night’s game due to some back stiffness. I guess it wasn’t a big deal (says the person who has trouble moving for days when he has “back stiffness”)
C Agustin Ramirez: 0-for-2, 3 RS, 3 BB
Ramirez’s second 3-BB effort this season.
1B Ben Rice: 2-for-4, RS, HBP, K
Rice is hitting .274 with a .941 OPS. He is on a 6-game hitting streak (8-for-21).
SS Ben Cowles: 2-for-5, 2 2B (10), 2 RBI, RS, K
As of this writing, Cowles’ ten doubles is at the top of the Eastern League leaderboard.
DH Jared Wegner: 0-for-4, RS, SB (3), BB, 2 K
Wegner’s 13-game hitting streak is snapped.
LF Grant Richardson: 4-for-4, 2 2B (8), 4 RBI, 2 RS, SB (5), BB
Richardson’s third career 4-hit effort. He is hitting .294 with a .855 OPS (8 doubles, 2 HR, 14 RBI, 10 R, 5 BB, 17 K, 5-for-6 SB)
2B Anthony Seigler: 0-for-4, BB, 2 K
RF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-4, 2 RBI, BB, K
RHP Blane Abeyta: 5 IP, 9 H, 6 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
LHP Josh Maciejewski: (L, 0-1) 2.1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 3 K
RHP Kevin Stevens: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 0 K
RHP Jack Neely: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, HR
Hudson Valley (14-9) (Lost to Wilmington, 4-1)
2B Roc Riggio: 0-for-4, K
SS Jared Serna: 1-for-4, CS (3)
His streak of 3-hit efforts ends at three (the streak seemed sustainable to me!)
CF Jace Avina: 1-for-2, 2B (4), 2 BB
.304/.439/.522 in 57 PA. Quite a start to his career in the organization. While he has primarily played CF (smart), he also has a pair of games in LF and RF.
3B-C Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-4, K
1B Omar Martinez: 0-for-3, HBP, 2 K
C Rafael Flores: 1-for-1
He left the game after he hit a single…

DH Josh Moylan: 0-for-3, BB, K
RF Cole Gabrielson: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, 2 K
LF Kyle Battle: 1-for-3, 2 K
RHP Sebastian Keane: (L, 1-3) 4.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 4 K, HR
It’s all a process. He is alternating good and not-so-good performances, so I expect a big effort next time out!
LHP Joel Valdez: 3.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K
1.80 ERA (15 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 HR, 4 BB, 19 K)
Tampa (7-17) (Defeated Dunedin, 10-4)
3B Enmanuel Tejeda: 4-for-5, 2B (4), RBI, 3 RS, 2 SB (10)
Tejeda has back-to-back 4-hit efforts. He is hitting .330/.374/.402 in 108 PA (4 doubles, 1 HR, 15 RBI, 15 R, 6.5% BB, 22.2% K, 10-for-13 SB). As of this writing, he is 5th in the league in batting average

RHP Cade Smith: (W, 1-1) 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 11 K
Smith earns his first professional win. Congrats! He threw 43% 4-seamers, 40% sliders (12 whiffs), 9% curves, and 8% changeups. Season: 2.11 ERA (21.1 IP, 10 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 0 HR, 10 BB, 33 K).
