I’m finally back from a school-induced hiatus, sorry for disappearing for the last few weeks.

Scranton defeats Gwinnett, 4-1 (they lead series 2-0)

  • Ivan Nova earned the win for the Yankees with 7 innings of 1-run ball, allowing 7 hits and a walk while striking out 5.  His sinker was also great today, as Nova recorded 15 groundball outs against 1 flyout.
  • Zach Kroenke struck out 1 in a perfect 8th.
  • Kevin Whelan got the save, striking out 3 in a shutout innings of relief, giving up a hit and a walk.
  • Reegie Corona was 2 for 4 with a double.
  • Austin Jackson was 1 for 4.
  • Juan Miranda was 2 for 4.
  • Kevin Russo was 1 for 4 with a double.
  • John Rodriguez and Justin Bernier were each 1 for 4.

Staten Island is the only other team with games remaining, since the deciding game in their best of 3 series with the Lowell Spinners was rained out.

    I am really encouraged by the progress Ivan Nova has made, he seemed to fly through the minors until he got to Scranton and he hit a wall but he has really worked and really started pitching some really nice games. Do you know what his sinker topped out at?

    Tampa is still in it. They closed out their series in 2 games the other day, so they didn’t have a game last night.

    They play Charlotte tonight.
