Pinstriped Performances: Rookie Tuesday

The full-season affiliates took the day off after playing on the holiday, so in an unusual change, the rookie affiliates owned the second day of the work week – and all three emerged victorious.

FCL Yankees (16-6): The Yankees broke a tie with a big eighth inning and held off a late charge from the Phillies to win their matchup 5-4.

• Star of the Game: Sean Hermann – 5.2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 K. Hermann rattled off his third fine start in a row, and his ERA sits at a healthy 2.91 overall
• Oswaldo Cabrera: 1-for-3, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 strikeout. Cabrera, who last played for Scranton on May 8, continued his rehab assignment
• Agustin Ramirez: 1-for-4, 1 RBI

• Leam Mendez: 1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K. Mendez bent but did not break and earned his second save of the year

DSL Yankees (10-14): A career day from Willy Montero led the Yanks to a 12-5 drubbing of Mets 1.

• Star of the Game: Joel Mendez – 1-for-3, 1 home run (1), 3 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 walk. Mendez showed off some of the power he displayed often last season, when he hit seven homers in 49 games
