Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees 4, Durham Bulls 3
Box | Recap
Notes: Durham fell to 29-23... Aneury Rodriguez took the loss, struggling with his control most of the night. He walked three in the 1st inning but worked out trouble, something he couldn't do in a 4-run 4th inning... Jason Cromer pitched three scoreless innings in relief... Desmond Jennings went 0-3. He was hit by a pitch and stole a base... Justin Ruggiano had 2 hits and 4 stolen bases...
The Leftovers: Weirdly, Ruggiano has hit righties well but struggled against lefties this year. The OPS split, entering today, was .891 against .556...

Any reaon why DJ was in the 7 spot the last few games?
ReplyDeleteCork at RaysIndex has speculated it may be to get him used to that role for an eventual call-up, but I think it was more to just shake things up to try to get Jennings out of his slump.
