Mitchell strikes out 12, Torrens goes deep in wins

C Peter O’Brien was named the High-A Florida State League Offensive Player of the Week. He went 13-for-39 with two doubles and four homers during the first ten days of the season. Not bad.

Triple-A Scranton was rained out yet again. They’ve played ten games and had six rainouts this season. Crazy. They’ll try to play a doubleheader tomorrow, but the forecast isn’t much better.

Double-A Trenton (2-0 win over Akron)

• CF Mason Williams: 1-4
• LF Ben Gamel & 3B Rob Segedin: both 0-3, 1 BB — Gamel was caught stealing … Segedin scored a run and committed a throwing error
• DH Tyler Austin: 1-4, 2 RBI, 2 K
• RF Taylor Dugas: 1-4, 1 2B
• RHP Bryan Mitchell: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 12 K, 3/4 GB/FB — 58 of 87 pitches were strikes (67%) … that’s a new career high in strikeouts for him, he had struck out ten on two occasions (once last year, once the year before)

High-A Tampa (6-5 win over Clearwater, walk-off style)

• CF Jake Cave: 1-5, 1 RBI
• SS Cito Culver: 0-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 E (fielding)
• DH Eric Jagielo: 2-5, 1 R, 2 K — 11-for-36 (.306) with two doubles and three homers in his last eight games
• 3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 2-2, 2 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB — 12 walks and seven strikeouts in eleven games
• 2B Angelo Gumbs: 2-5, 1 2B, 1 K
• RF Cody Grice: 2-4, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K — walk-off single
• RHP Brett Gerritse: 5 IP, 13 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 6/0 GB/FB
• RHP Kyle Haynes: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 2/2 GB/FB — he’s the guy they got from the Pirates for Chris Stewart over the winter
• LHP Evan Rutckyj: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 1/1 GB/FB

Low-A Charleston (11-3 win over Greenville)

• SS Abi Avelino: 2-5, 1 R, 2 K, 1 CS
• CF Brandon Thomas: 1-3, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 2 K
• RF Aaron Judge: 1-3, 3 R, 2 RBI, 2 BB, 2 K — still waiting for his first extra-base hit … not even mad, just kinda amazed it hasn’t come yet for a power-first player
• 3B Miguel Andujar: 2-5, 1 R, 1 3B, 3 RBI, 1 K — still waiting for his first homer, but he has two triples though
• LF Michael O’Neill: 2-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K
• C Luis Torrens: 2-4, 2 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — first homer of the year breaks an 0-for-13 slump
• 2B Gosuke Katoh: 2-4, 1 R, 1 BB — had reached base only three times in his last six games
• RHP Rookie Davis: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 8/4 GB/FB — 49 of 81 pitches were strikes (60%) … really hopes he makes it too MLB just because of his name
