Minor League Recap - 4/22

Darrell Rasner and the Jose Veras out dueled Twins prospect Glen Perkins in the Yankees 3-0 win over Rochester. Rasner allowed just 2 hits in 8 innings and struck out 5 to improve to 3-0, 0.72. He should be the first choice to replace either Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy, or Mike Mussina if they continue to struggle. Jason Lane hit his 6th home run for the Yankees.

Trenton used two home runs and a triple to rally from a 4-0 deficit, but the Binghamton Mets won it with a run in the 9th, 5-4 over the Thunder. Matt Carson and P.J. Pilittere had the home runs.

After throwing 2 straight shutouts, the Tampa Yankees were blanked by the Clearwater Threshers (Phillies), 6-0. The Yankees made 3 errors that lead to 4 unearned runs. Edwin Nunez had 2 of the team's 5 hits.

Charleston took 3 of 4 from Columbus, topped off by last night's 7-2 win over the Catfish. Carmen Angelini and Brandon Laird lead a 15-hit River Dogs attack with 3 hits each. Rutgers alum David Williams, and Taylor Holiday drove in 2 runs each. Noel Castillo went 7 innings to improve to 3-0, 2.28.
