Triple-A
The Pawtucket at Indianapolis game was postponed.
Double-A
Altoona (34-31) wins 5-1 at Binghamton (33-29)
The Rumble Ponies’ Andres Jimenez tripled to elad off the game and scored one batter later on a groundout, snapping Pedro Vasquez’ streak of three straight starts without allowing a run - but that was the only run that the 23 year old right-hander Vasquez (7-2, 3.14) would surrender on the night, as he allowed only three singles and a walk over the remainder of his seven innings of work, striking out four. He threw 60 of 92 pitches for strikes.
In two of those last three starts, on May 30 for Indianapolis vs Charlotte and his last time out on June 9 vs Akron, Vasquez only allowed one hit in six innings. Over that stretch, he’s allowed one run on three walks and eleven hits in 25 innings, fanning 23.
