Triple-A: Scranton 5, Pawtucket 1
Quick poll: If you thought Reegie Corona would have more longballs than Jesus Montero nearly halfway through the season, raise your hand. Well, if your hand is raised, you are correct. Corona swatted his fifth dinger of the year, a two-run shot, and the Yankees topped the PawSox. Montero, who has but four homers, was 1-for-4. Overall, Corona was 2-for-4 with the two RBIs and two runs scored. Eduardo Nunez and Justin Christian also had two hits apiece.

Double-A: Trenton 11, Erie 2
Brandon Laird did what usually does -- destroy pitching --and the Thunder mounted a late comeback to drop the SeaWolves. From the seventh inning on, Laird was 2-for-2 with a grand slam and a three-run homer, both of which came off of reliever Jay Voss. Overall, Laird was 3-for-5. Austin Romine was 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs. Oh, and then there was Hector Noesi, who fanned 10 over seven innings of two-run ball. It's the second time during his tenure with the Thunder that he's fanned ten.
