Road Record: 4-3 • It’s Semple, You’re Gone: RiverDogs reliever Shawn Semple delivered another lights out pitching performance on Current Streak: L1 Current Home Streak: L1 Wednesday night at McCormick Field. The South Jersey native struck out a career-high 11 in 4.0 innings to pick up his first Current Road Streak: W1 South Atlantic League save.

Team AVG (rank): .241 (3rd) Team HR (rank): 2 (T9th) • Stowers Impressing First Week on the Job: New Yankee farmhand Josh Stowers is off to a hot start with his new Runs Scored: 28 (8th) organization, hitting a cool .357 (10-for-28) after extending his hitting streak to 7 straight games with a double in Thursday’s Team ERA (rank): 4.98 (14th) home opener.

Losing some of their organizational talent due to promotions and trades in the last year, the Yankees’ farm system fell from the second-best system in the game to 20th on the Baseball America rankings.
