It wasn’t exactly the type of night to brag about the hitting prospects that are on the farm for the Phillies, while two injuries occurred that are both something the team is going to want to be careful with in the coming days. Let’s see how the kids did.

Lehigh Valley 3, Rochester 2

Alan Rangel was the star for the IronPigs, going six innings on the mound and only allowing three hits on two runs, striking out eight. He’s seen his role changed quite a bit with the team, bouncing between starter and bulk guy depending on what the big league team wants/needs. Seeing as how he is basically their next points of depth, he’ll need to keep pitching well. For the offense, Bryan de la Cruz had two hits, including an RBI double while Christian Cairo also chipped in two hits.

Binghamton 4, Reading 1

Quite the display of offensive struggle, the Fightin’ Phils managed only one run on five hits as they were shut down by Rumble Ponies starter Jonathan Santucci. Erick Brito had two hits on the day, while Aroon Escobar drove in the only run for Reading with an RBI single. The biggest story of the game was Dante Nori needing to come out after coming up lame on a groundout.

Concerning and something to keep an eye on.

Brooklyn 12, Jersey Shore 4

At least Nick Biddison had two hits, both being doubles. Because boy did the pitching struggle for the BlueClaws. Ryan Drombowski got smacked around in 3 1/3 innings, surrendering eight runs on seven hits. The bullpen did manage to get a few other outs, but Giussepe Velasquez gave up four more runs to seal the loss. Tough night.

St. Lucie 5, Clearwater 1

Speaking of concerning injuries:

Well, I’d probably take the rest of the night off too if I was allowed.

Three hits was all that was produced by Clearwater, a sleepy night for the Threshers. The pitching wasn’t much to write home about either, so let’s just chalk this one up to one to be forgotten.
