Lowell Spinners News Release
LOWELL, MASS. - Searching for positives, Boston Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino emerged without any setbacks after going 0-for-2 through five innings in rightfield for the Spinners Thursday night. Unfortunately for the Spinners, that was where the positives ended as the Staten Island Yankees scored early and often as they trounced the Lowell, 11-0, at LeLacheur Park.
Staten Island (14-13) ruined the professional debut of Reed Reilly, the Red Sox 7th round selection in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft, when Luis Torrens hit a one-out home run in the first inning to stake the Yankees to a 1-0 lead.
The Yankees would chase Reilly in the second inning before Heri Quevedo escaped the inning with the Spinners in a 3-0 hole.
That would be the only escaping Quevedo would manage on the night, as the right handed was pummeled for five runs in the third and one run in the fourth, with home runs by Renzo Martini, and Ty McFarland to give the Yankees a 9-0 lead. The Yankees would tack on two additional runs in the sixth against Quevedo before Chandler Shepherd and Edward Garcia pitched the final four innings without allowing any further damage.
Unfortunately for the Spinners, there was no offense to be found. Nick Longhi was the lone offensive bright spot, extending his hitting streak to 12-games with a 2-for-4 night. Jordan Betts had the lone other Spinners hit, on a night when the team struck out 15 times. Victorino was 0-for-2 with two strikeouts before leaving after the fifth inning.
Reilly (0-1, 16.20) allowed three runs on five hits, striking out one in his debut. Quevedo was rocked for eight runs on seven hits and three walks, striking out one in 3.1 innings before Shepherd (two innings, one hit, one strikeout) and Garcia (two innings, one hit, two strikeouts) closed out the game.
Victorino is slated to return to Lowell again Friday night when the Spinners look to avoid the sweep. Jake Drehoff (0-1, 5.24) gets the ball for a 7:05 first pitch with post-game fireworks to follow!
