Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W 2-0 vs. Buffalo Bison
The Yankees won an unusual kind of pitching duel as neither starting pitcher made it through the fifth inning. Chris Capuano went only 3.2 innings, allowing five hits and two walks with two strikeouts. He was probably yanked at the right time after allowing consecutive hits and had already thrown over 60 pitches by the fourth inning. Yankees fans should probably be ready for another Capuano call-up as we head into September. Maybe the fifth time will be the charm! After being relieved, Johnny Barbato struck out three over 3.
