Pinstriped Performances: Sean Boyle Makes History

No-hitters are almost becoming routine across the Yankees system – coming into the day, there had been three already (plus Corey Kluber’s gem at the major league level). But they’d all been combined no-nos, with at least three pitchers taking the game the distance. It was a different story on Thursday. Sean Boyle did it all by himself.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (54-36): Scranton and Worcester played a twin bill, making up a game from last month. Worcester took the opener 5-3 before Boyle’s heroics in a 5-0 RailRiders win for game two.

Game 1

• Star of the Game: Sócrates Brito – 2-for-3, 1 double, 2 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 strikeout. Brito had the only extra-base hit of the contest on Scranton’s side

Game 2

• Star of the Game: Sean Boyle – 7 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K, 95 pitches (59 strikes). Sure, it was a seven-inning game, but that shouldn’t diminish the magnitude of Boyle’s accomplishment. This was, after all, just his third appearance at Triple-A and his first start above High-A. It’s arguably the biggest highlight of this entire Yankees MiLB season
