Notes:
LHP Brent Headrick, who pitched well for the Yankees earlier this year, was placed on the 7-day injured list for Scranton.

Winans has 20 strikeouts in 9.1 innings. He tied his personal best for strikeouts in a game.

1.42 ERA (12.2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 HR, 4 BB, 15 K)

RHP Yerry De Los Santos: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
1.08 ERA (8.1 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 HR, 3 BB, 9 K). He is on the 40-man roster, giving him one advantage over the depth chart competition.
Somerset (7-9) (Defeated Hartford, 7-3. Eight of Somerset’s 11 hits went for extra bases. That’s how you win!)
3B Dylan Jasso: 2-for-4, RBI, CS (1)
.283/.333/.491 in 57 PA (3 doubles, 1 triple, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 12 R, 5.3% BB, 14.0% K). Jasso has six multi-hit efforts in his last nine games. He is 22 and trying this level for the first time, which is encouraging.
DH Spencer Jones: 0-for-3, CS (1), BB, 2 K
.250/.384/.583 in 73 PA (2 doubles, 6 HR, 11 RBI, 13 R, 4-for-5 SB, 16.4% BB, 32.9% K). Last year, in 544 PA at this level, he hit .259/.336/.452 (9.9% BB, 36.8% K). He relied heavily on BABIP last season (.401). This season, he is at .300.
1B Rafael Flores: 0-for-4, 2 K
CF Garrett Martin: 1-for-3, 2B (2), R, 2 SB (4), BB
.186/.352/.372 in 54 PA (2 doubles, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 9 R, 4-for-5 SB, 11.1% BB, 14.8% K). His .182 BABIP should normalize.
2B Jose Colmenares: 0-for-4, 2 K
Colmenares’ Double-A debut.
RF Cole Gabrielson: 0-for-3, SB (7), BB, K
SS Alexander Vargas: 0-for-4, 2 K

RHP Clayton Beeter (L, 0-1): 0.1 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 0 K
I would rather this happen on a rehab stint than in an important game.
RHP Harrison Cohen: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
2.35 ERA (7.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 HR, 2 BB, 9 K)

RF Jace Avina: 1-for-3, K
DH Omar Martinez: 0-for-2, BB
1B Coby Morales: 1-for-3, HR (1), RBI, R
Morales isn’t known for his power (6th HR in 137 career games)
3B Josh Moylan: 0-for-2, R, BB, 2 K
2B Brenny Escanio: 0-for-2, 2 R, BB
C Tomas Frick: 0-for-3, K
RHP Ben Hess: (L, 1-1) 3.2 IP, 4 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 6 BB, 4 K, HR

RHP Matt Keating: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 0 K
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert: 0.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
Game 2 (Lost, 3-2, in ten innings)
CF Brendan Jones: 1-for-4, 2 SB (10), BB, K
SS George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-4, 2B (2), R, BB, K
Doubleheader: 1-for-6, 2B, R, 2 SB, 3 BB, K. Lombard has more walks (15) than strikeouts (14) and is hitting .286 with a .892 OPS. If you want a negative (why would you?), he has only four extra-base hits in 15 games. That does not concern me.
C Omar Martinez: 0-for-4, R, CS (1), BB, 3 K
LF Jace Avina: 2-for-4, RBI, BB, 2 K
1B Coby Morales: 0-for-4, BB, 2 K

Pastore’s High-A debut.
RHP Carlos Lagrange: 5 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 8 K, HR
Lagrange allowed a lead-off home run before settling in to provide a dominant performance. Season: 5.14 ERA (14 IP, 13 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 2 HR, 5 BB, 24 K). Most of the bad stuff happened in his first start (Last 2 starts: 11 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 17 K).
RHP Chris Kean: 2.1 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
6.2 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 7 K
RHP Tyrone Yulie: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
4.91 ERA (7.1 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 5 BB, 11 K)
RHP Ocean Gabonia (L, 0-1): 0 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
Tampa (7-10) (Lost to Dunedin, 6-5)
SS Roderick Arias: 0-for-4, SB (8), BB, K
.161/.297/.274 in 74 PA (4 doubles, 1 HR, 7 RBI, 9 R, 8-for-8 SB, 14.9% BB, 27.0% K). It’s only 15 games, but he played 124 games here last year. It is time to pick up the pace.
C Edgleen Perez: 0-for-4, 2 K
I am not sure why Perez was pulled.
3B Juan Matheus: 0-for-1, K
3B-1B Parks Harber: 3-for-4, 3B (2), R, K
.322/.429/.593 in 70 PA (3 doubles, 2 triples, 3 HR, 13 RBI, 9 R, 3-for-4 SB, 14.3% BB, 28.6% K). Harber has back-to-back 3-hit efforts.
DH Dillon Lewis: 0-for-3, SB (5), HBP, K
.185/.267/.259 in 60 PA. Lewis is 8-for-9 stealing bases in 29 minor league games. We are still waiting for last year’s 13th-round pick’s bat to blossom.
LF Tyler Wilson: 1-for-4, RBI, R
RF Austin Green: 0-for-3, R, BB, K
2B Hans Montero: 2-for-4, HR (1), 2 RBI, 2 R, 2 K
.233/.303/.333 in 33 PA. Montero was a bonus baby when he signed, but full-season ball is eating him up (.206/.305/.333 last season).
CF Marshall Toole: 2-for-4, K
Toole’s tools include speed (11-for-13 SB in 25 career games) and defense. It’s up to the bat if he is going to advance.
1B-C Josue Gonzalez: 0-for-3, BB, K
RHP Danny Flatt: 3.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, HR
4.66 ERA (9.2 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 1 HR, 8 BB, 6 K)

RHP Jackson Fristoe (L, 1-1): 2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, HR
