Pinstriped Performances: Saturday, June 2, 2018

After an undefeated day in the New York Yankees organization on Friday, Saturday was not as kind. Since Charleston had their game suspended due to rain, only five games took place and the teams combined for a 2-3 record. The Yankees had one of the wins while the Dominican Summer League team kicked off their season with a win. In the other three games, the Yankee affiliates combined to score one run.
