Branden Pinder 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K
A horribly ugly game for Tampa pitchers to say the least. The Yankees managed to score four runs in the bottom of the third to tie the game, but the runs kept coming for the Cubs, who notched fifteen hits. Rafael De Paula makes his second start with the Yankees tonight at 6:30 pm.
Low-A Charleston RiverDogs:W 5-0 vs. Hickory Crawdads

Zach Arneson 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, K
Charleston got an excellent starting performance out of Camarena and got on the board early with two runs in the first inning. That would be all they'd need, as the RiverDogs' pitchers kept the Crawdads off the board and limited them to only three hits. Cesar Vargas gets the start for Charleston today at 6:05 pm against Hickory.
Short Season-A Staten Island Yankees: L 1-2 (10 innings) vs. Aberdeen Ironbirds

Staten Island rallied to tie the game in the ninth inning and send the game to extra innings, but the bullpen faltered in the 10th and gave the Ironbirds the walk-off victory. The Yankees take on the Ironbirds again tonight at 7:05 pm.
