Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (7-1 win over Pawtucket)
- LF Tyler Wade: 1-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 3 K
- CF Clint Frazier: 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB — back in center field
- 1B Greg Bird: 2-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K — here’s video of the home run … 7-for-34 (.206) with two homers, ten walks, and eight strikeouts in eleven rehab games
- 3B Brandon Drury: 1-4, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K
- DH Billy McKinney: 0-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
- C Kyle Higashioka: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K
- LHP Justus Sheffield: 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 3/2 GB/FB — 43 of 70 pitches were strikes (61%) … first start since May 11th due to the shoulder injury … I assume he was on a pitch limit after the injury, hence the short start despite no runs allowed
- RHP Tommy Kahnle: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 2/1 GB/FB – 16 of 21 pitches were strikes (76%) … second rehab appearance and he came out of the bullpen rather than make the start, which means they’re getting him ready for his usual role … Aaron Boone has indicated Kahnle could be back Friday as long as things go well in these rehab games, so we’ll see
- RHP Cody Carroll: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 21 GB/FB — 23 of 42 pitches were strikes (55%) … 33/11 K/BB in 21.
