4/18 Minor League Report

================

We are lucky enough to have a SWB report from BigGuy tonight.
He won't be doing these all the time by when he does I will
post them. Thanks BG for the great contributions.

(AAA) Scranton-Wilkes Barre (10-0) beat Rochester 6-2: Box Score | Recap

The SWB Yankees continue to roll over opponents. They increased their record to a perfect 10-0 with a 6-2 win over Rochester (Twins).

PITCHING: Kei Igawa made his 2nd start of the year. In the 1st inning Igawa gave up a single and walk to the first 2 men he faced, but worked out of the jam with a DP. Igawa settled down nicely and threw perfect 2nd and 3rd innings. He gave up a solo homer in the 4th to Matt Tolbert make the score SWB 4-1. Igawa was perfect the next 3 innings 5-7 allowing only 1 base runner on an error by Berroa at short.

Igawa's line: 7.0 IP, 1 run (HR), 3 Hits, 4 K's--1 Walk, 83 pitches--56 strikes, 6 groundouts--11 flyouts.

BULLPEN: J B Cox came on to pitch the 8th. He gave up 1 run on 2 singles and a wild pitch to make the score SWB 6-2. Cox struck out the next 2 batters. An error by 3rd baseman Justin Leone, that should have ended the inning, sent Cox to the showers. David Robertson relieved Cox in the 8th with 2 out and a runners on 1st and 2nd. Robertson got the final out of the 8th on a 3-pitch strikeout. Robertson threw a perfect 9th to end the game.

OFFENSE: SWB came into the game averaging 8 runs per game, batting .323. They wasted no time taking a 1-0 lead in the 1st inning.

I know I'm sounding crazy, but Kei Igawa has really impressed me so far this year. I think he should be called up as the long reliver. I know he sucks as soon as he gets to the Majors, but I think he's improved.

He may have improved but I'm just going to say, be careful what you wish for.
