Scranton (18-9) (Defeated Jacksonville, 5-0)
3B Caleb Durbin: 1-for-5, SB (13)
DH Everson Pereira: 2-for-4, 2 RS, SB (3), 2 K
Pereira has a 6-game hitting streak (10-for-29). He is hitting .270/.348/.560.

RF Oscar Gonzalez: 0-for-4, RBI, RS, SB (1), K
C Luis Torrens: 2-for-3, HR (2), 4 RBI, RS, BB

2B Jeter Downs: 0-for-4, 2 K
SS Kevin Smith: 0-for-4, 3 K
CF Greg Allen: 1-for-3, BB, 2 K
LF Brandon Lockridge: 1-for-2, RS, SB (12), 2 BB
RHP Clayton Beeter: (W, 3-1) 5.2 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 9 K
2.74 ERA (23 IP, 17 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 13 BB, 35 K). I advocate for Bullpen Beeter but the Yankees have their reasons for keeping him in the rotation. Is it easy to convert to the bullpen? Yes, but they wouldn’t be able to ask him to do the back-to-back days thing right away, for example. He would have to be moved carefully.
RHP Art Warren: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Cody Morris: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
1.42 ERA (12.2 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 HR, 7 BB, 15 K)
RHP Duane Underwood Jr.: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

CF Spencer Jones: 0-for-3, BB, K
1B Agustin Ramirez: 0-for-4
3B Ben Cowles: 0-for-3, BB, K
Anytime you can hold Rice/Jones/Ramirez/Cowles to a 1-for-13 night, it deserves applause.
DH J.C. Escarra: 0-for-4
LF Grant Richardson: 0-for-3, K
RF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-3, K
2B Anthony Seigler: 2-for-3, 2B (5)
.241/.328/.333 in 61 PA. He has hit safely in seven of his last eight games (10-for-29)
SS Alexander Vargas: 0-for-3, K
RHP Trystan Vrieling: (L, 2-2) 5 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
He cruised until a 5-run fifth inning, where New Hampshire singled him to death. Season: 3.41 ERA (29 IP, 20 H, 12 R, 11 ER, 1 HR, 7 BB, 31 K)
RHP Leonardo Pestana: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Impressive Double-A debut for Pestana.
RHP Yorlin Calderon: 2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
Hudson Valley (14-8) (Defeated Wilmington, 13-10, in a crazy 11-inning affair)
2B Roc Riggio: 1-for-3, RBI, 2 RS, SB (3), 4 BB
Riggio has a pesky reputation and has shown some of that. His BB/K is currently over 1.0 (15/10).
SS Jared Serna: 3-for-7, 3 HR (5), 6 RBI, 3 RS
These are his first home runs since April 7th, but he is on fire: 9-for-16 with two doubles and three home runs in his last three games. He is up to .231 with a .825 OPS (4 doubles, 5 HR, 17 RBI, 17 R, 15.5% BB, 10.3% K, 1-for-3 SB). When he gets going, it can be a sight to see. This is not his best for RBI in a game (he drove home seven on 7/14/23, a day when he hit two home runs).
CF Jace Avina: 0-for-5, RS, HBP, 3 K
LF-C Jesus Rodriguez: 4-for-5, 2B (4), HR (3), RBI, RS, CS (3), BB
Rodriguez has a career average of over .300, but this is his first career 4-hit effort. He is up to .325 with a .899 OPS this season (4 doubles, 1 triple, 3 HR, 10 RBI, 11 R, 7.95% BB, 14.8% K). You don’t see him near the top of Yankees prospect lists, but he performs. That should count for something.
C Omar Martinez: 2-for-4, HR (4), 2 RBI, 2 RS, 2 BB, K
Martinez is hitting .246 with a .845 OPS (1 double, 1 triple, 4 HR, 9 RBI, 8 R, 15 BB, 16 K)
PR-LF Kyle Battle: 0-for-0, RS
1B Josh Moylan: 2-for-6, 2B (1), RBI

5.59 ERA (9.2 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 0 HR, 10 BB, 10 K).
RHP Trent Sellers: 3 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 1 K, HR
2.20 ERA (16.1 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 9 BB, 23 K).
RHP Matt Keating: 3 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, HR
RHP Steven Fulgencio: (W, 1-0) 1 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
Fulgencio’s High-A debut.
RHP Huey Morrill (S, 1): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
Tampa (6-17) (Defeated Dunedin, 5-4)
2B Enmanuel Tejeda: 4-for-5, HR (1), 4 RBI, 2 RS, SB (8), CS (3)
Tejeda’s second career 4-hit game as he sets a new personal best for RBI. A night like this jumps his triple slash from .276/.330/.310 to .304/.353/.370.
1B Coby Morales: 1-for-5, 2B (2), 2 K
SS Roderick Arias: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K
3B Dylan Jasso: 2-for-4, 2B (7), K
.253/.387/.413 in 93 PA. He is a 21-year-old corner infielder.
CF Jackson Castillo: 0-for-2, 2 BB, 2 K
LF Willy Montero: 0-for-4
DH Tomas Frick: 1-for-4, 2B (3), RS, 2 K

RF Daury Arias: 0-for-3, RS, BB, 3 K

8.62 ERA (15.2 IP, 17 H, 15 R, 15 ER, 1 HR, 8 BB, 21 K). A nice bounceback after his 2.2 IP/8 ER outing last time.
RHP Cade Austin: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
3.38 ERA (16 IP, 11 H, 8 R, 6 ER, 1 HR, 5 BB, 21 K)
RHP Montana Semmel (W, 2-2): 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
