With rain in the forecast and the New York Yankees on the West Coast, only two affiliates were in action on Friday night. In Tampa, they were able to drive in all of their runs on non-hits. Meanwhile, in Charleston, one starter kept the opponent from getting in the hit column and the offense had a couple of home runs. Read about who hit the home runs and more in tonight’s Pinstriped Performances:

Scranton Wilkes-Barre Railriders (Triple-A): The Railriders (9-9) had their game against the Syracuse Mets suspended due to rain. They will resume the game Saturday as part of a doubleheader beginning at 4:05. The Railriders trail 1-0 in the bottom of the first.
