With Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre rained out on Tuesday, only four teams were in action on Tuesday. Two teams gave up late leads in the ninth, but one affiliate had a player record a multi-home run game. Meanwhile, Trenton picked up another walk-off victory to keep their win streak going and the Yankees began their series against the Red Sox with a convincing win.
