SWB relievers have combined to allow just one run in 18.0 innings against the Bisons and IronPigs since the beginning of play on Wednesday. What’s more, they’ve combined to allow just 12 baserunners -- two on hit batsmen (both by Adam Warren), five walks and five hits (four singles, two June 26 Coca-Cola Park 6:35 p.m. of which were infield hits). In the final three games of the last series, 43 Buffalo batters have managed to hit only six balls out of the infield against June 27 Coca-Cola Park 1:35 p.m. RailRiders relievers in this stretch, while striking out 17 times. The SWB bullpen ERA is down to 3.32 on the season, while the unit is averaging 11.67 August 10 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. K/9.

The 31 round-trippers hit by SWB puts the club in a seventh place in Triple-A East with Nashville setting August 14 PNC Field 6:05 p.m. the pace with 44 dingers. The RailRiders are tied for 22nd in minor league baseball in home runs, with Salt Lake (AAA, LAA) leading the minors with 47.

August 24 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. August 25 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. WALK-A-THON: Through 23 games this season, the RailRiders have drawn 126 walks, the second-most in all of Triple-A baseball, trailing only Gwinnett August 26 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. (140). No other team in the minors’ highest level has taken more than 118 bases on balls (Lehigh Valley).

September 15 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. September 16 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. THREE DOZEN SIDES OF BACON: The COVID-19 pandemic has created one of the most unusual season schedules in the history of the Scranton/ September 17 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. Wilkes-Barre franchise. With the season beginning a full month later than traditional, all teams in Triple-A East will play 120-game schedules. The September 18 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. RailRiders, along with the rest of the Northeast Division teams, will exclusively play teams within the division. This leads to a schedule where SWB September 19 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. plays the rival Lehigh Valley IronPigs an unprecedented 36 times. For perspective, the RailRiders play the Rochester Red Wings and the Buffalo Bisons a combined 36 times. The RailRiders currently lead the 2021 IronRail Series 4-3. 2019 results: Lehigh Valley, 11-7 THAT’S ALL THEY GOT, ONE HIT?: On Thursday, May 27, three Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders pitchers combined for a seven-inning one-hitter all-time series: RailRiders Lead 111-100 against the Buffalo Bisons. The trio ofBrian Keller, Sal Romano, and Nick Goody did not allow a baserunner after the fourth inning, and combined to retire the final 11 Bisons batters. It was the first one-hitter thrown by the RailRiders since 2016, whenChad Green tossed a one-hitter at Gwinnett railriders at a glance on July 14. Overall, it was the sixth one-hitter in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre franchise history. The RailRiders have thrown four no-hitters in franchise history. • The first one-hitter in SWB history came in the team’s inaugural 1989 season, when Pat Combs threw one on August 19 at Pawtucket. 2021 regular season: 16-7 • The SWB Red Barons got two one-hitters in the 1991 season, the first from Andy Ashby on July 22 vs Richmond and the second authored by John GB: +2.0 1st, AAA East Northeast Burgos on August 16 vs Columbus. These were the first two one-hitters thrown by SWB at Lackawanna County Stadium. Home: 7-4 Away: 9-3 • It was 11 years until the next SWB one-hitter, with Brett Myers allowing one base hit to Toledo on April 25 at home.

  • New York Yankees Shortstop Gleyber Torres Wins AFL MVP
    New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres wins AFL MVP Author : Robert D. Cobb New York Yankees' top prospect, shortstop Gleyber Torres, has won the Arizona Fall League MVP award. Torres, who was the headliner in the package from the Cubs that sent Aroldis Chapman to Chicago, is just 19-years-old. He is the youngest player to win the Joe Black MVP Award, in fact, no one under the age of 21 has ever put together a better season in the 32 game league. [embedit snippet="ryne-ads"] The Arizona Fall League is an off-season, 32 game league that plays from mid-October to mid-November. It was founded in 1992 and has attracted many of the top prospects in minor league systems all around the league. Torres, along with fellow Yankee prospects Greg Bird, Miguel Andujar, Dillon Tate, J.P. Feyereisen, Tyler Wade, Brody Koerner and James Kaprielian, played for the Scottsdale Scorpions. Torres led the AFL in average at .403, OBP at .513, and OPS at 1.158. He also earned the batting title, by an astounding 50 points over the next closest player. He added 25 hits, three homers, four doubles, 14 walks, and four stolen bases in 18 games, putting all of his tools on display. His performance earned him two AFL Player of the Week awards en route to being named MVP. He wasn't only the league's best hitter, but he also provided a flair for the dramatic. On October 15th he delivered a walk-off hit with the bases loaded for the Scorpions, joining teammate Tim Tebow with the only walk-off hits of the year.

  • The International League
    June 30, 2020 STATEMENT International League President Randy Mobley regarding cancellation of the 2020 season: The International League (the oldest league in all of Minor League Baseball) traces its history back to 1884, and it is with deep regret that I confirm that for the first summer in 137 years the League will play no games in 2020. Until just a few hours ago the League and its 14 member teams continued to plan and prepare for the possibility of playing a 60-game, shortened season. Due to the many COVID-19 related challenges that would accompany staffing team rosters for a two-month season, Major League Baseball has now advised that they will not be providing players to the teams of Minor League Baseball in 2020. While we continue to pray for the health and wellbeing of those within our communities, our focus immediately turns to planning and preparing to welcome fans and sponsors back into our fabulous ballparks next April. During what will now become an extended off-season from Triple-A Baseball, I encourage fans to stay in tune with activities planned by their local team. Teams in Minor League Baseball are known for their creativity and that is now and will continue to be demonstrated in ways never before explored. From drive-in fireworks shows to family movie nights on the giant videoboards to experiencing “dinner on the diamond,” teams will be finding creative ways to stay engaged with their community. While you may not hear the crack of the bat or Take Me Out to the Ballgame, fans are invited to explore a different ballpark experience during these unique times.
