Triple-A: Charlotte 2, Scranton 0; Charlotte 7, Yankees 3

Tuesday: David Winfree, but that was the best the Yankees could muster against the Knights' combination of Dan Hudson and former Thunder reliever Jhonny Nunez.

Tim Redding threw a complete game, allowing just the two runs on four hits and two walks. He struck out seven.

Jesus Montero, Matt Cusick and Greg Golson each scored.
