Monday 5/4
Jesus Montero was taken out the game in the 8th inning of the Tampa game with a leg injury. The Yankees are always secretive on the severity of injuries to minor leaguers, so don't expect detailed news.
Scranton won behind a mixed pitching debut by George Kontos. Kevin Russo got back in the lineup with a 4 hit night. Shelley Duncan, who was named IL Batter of the Week, got his 10th home run. Austin Jackson got two hits, to raise his average to .390, but did strike out 3 times. PJ Pilittere had the dubious honor of having 9 runners successfully steal against him (with none thrown out). He's usually very solid in the catch & throw department, so I wouldn't pin that all against him. Two of the runners counting against him were caught in a double steal/run down, but Juan Miranda threw the ball away. The team is now 20-4, and is 6 games ahead in the standing.
Trenton was rained out, Tampa's bats continue to be ice cold , while Charleston lost as well.
