Kevin Thompson was the hitting star in the Yankees 5-4 win over Ottawa.  He went two for three with a double, a homerun, two RBIs and three runs.

Jose Veras picked up the win and he improved to 2-0.  He gave up three hits and a walk with two strikeouts in two shutout innings of relief.

Tampa swept Lakeland in their twin billing and the first game made the headlines with a seven inning no-hit shutout by Daniel McCutchen and Jose Veras.  McCutchen picked up the win and he threw five of those seven innings.  He gave up five walks and he struck out two and the win pushed his record to 11-2 on the season.  Tim Battle had a nice day at the plate and he went two for three with a triple and a run.

The second game was closer but the Yankees still pulled it out.  Austin Jackson belted a two run homer to lead the offense and Anthony Clagget picked up the win and he improved to 3-8.  He gave up three runs (two earned) on seven hits and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings of work.
