While the New York Yankees were gearing up for a game against the Oakland A’s, the Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre RailRiders were in the headlines for all the wrong reasons during their game against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.
After a poor start to the game by Nick Nelson and Nick Goody, record-setting righty Luis Gil was charged with eating up most of the innings. Gil inadvertently created a combustible situation when he threw very hard right near the head of recently demoted third baseman Alec Bohm.
