Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox

Final Score: Norfolk 6, Pawtucket Red Sox 1

Notable Pitchers:

Edwin Escobar (1 IP, H, K)

Robby Scott (2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 2 K)

Zeke Spruill (6 IP, 7 H, 3 R (one earned), 2 BB, 3 K)

* Spruill is now a regular in the PawSox rotation and is considered a borderline prospect. For the season Spruill has functioned it every pitching role and has even captured a pair of saves. The 25-year-old right-hander was acquired from Arizona for pitcher Myles Smith.

Notable Position Players:

Quintin Berry (3-4)

Travis Shaw (1-4)

Allen Craig 1-3, BB)

Marco Hernandez (2-3, 2B, BB)

* Hernandez has not missed a beat since moving up from Portland as he is now hitting .298. Hernandez. only 22-years-old, was a PTBNL from Chicago for Felix Doubront. Will this be a player that Theo undervalued? Time will tell.
