HR: None.
From redwingsbaseball.com/Milb.com: Philip Hughes and three relievers combined on a four-hit shutout, leading the first place Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees to a 3-0 win over the Red Wings Sunday. Alexi Casilla had a hit, a walk and his 24th stolen base of the season for Rochester, who dropped three games back of Scranton. The Wings continue their series against the New York Yankees' top farm club at Frontier Field Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:05 pm. Rochester stays a half-game out of the IL wild card spot, with Buffalo and Durham tied for the wild card spot after both clubs lost Sunday.
The Yankees jumped on Wings starter Ryan Mullins in the first inning, taking a quick 2-0 lead. Mullins, making his third Triple-A start, allowed three hits - including a two-run single by Angel Chavez. Mullins quickly settled down and, with the help of infield double plays in both the second and third innings, kept Scranton off the scoreboard until the fifth. Mullins allowed a single, followed by a balk, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly by Andy Cannizaro to make it a 3-0 Scranton lead. Mullins struck out the next two hitters to send play to the sixth.
Hughes (4-1), placed on the big league DL (hamstring, ankle) May 3, made a rehab start with Scranton and blanked the Wings into the seventh, allowing just three hits, walking three and fanning four. Mullins (0-2) worked six innings in his best start so far with Rochester, giving up six hits and three runs, with a walk and three strikeouts. Carmen Cali tossed two scoreless relief innings.
NOTES: Right-handed pitcher Joba (pronounced JAW-buh) Chamberlain starts Monday night against the Wings at Frontier Field. Chamberlain, 21, was selected in the supplemental first round (41st selection overall) of the 2006 first-year player draft by the Yankees. He boasts a 2.72 ERA in 14 starts this season between Class-A Tampa (4-0, 2.03) and Double-A Trenton (4-2, 3.43). He ranks third in the Yankees' system with 115 strikeouts...The 2007 Red Wings look to become the first Rochester club to win a division title when trailing at the All-Star break (trailed Buffalo by 3.0 games) since 1995, when the Red Wings trailed Ottawa by 3.0 games...Saturday night’s win clinched the Red Wings' third consecutive winning month of July (16-13 record with two games to play). Since the 2005 season, Rochester has a 48-39 record in July. The 1997 Wings had a 23-6 record in July, the best one month record since month-to-month records started being kept in 1980....Class A Ft. Myers outfielder Erik Lis is the Twins Minor League Player of the Week for July 21-27...Lis, 23, hit .389 with two doubles, a home run, six rbi, two walks and scored two runs in five games...he had a .450 on-base percentage and a .667 slugging percentage...he was the Twins ninth round selection in the 2005 First-Year Player draft.
