Yankees prospects Schlittler and Flores Power Somerset

Before the largest crowd of the season at TD Bank Ballpark, two of the brightest young stars in the Yankees' farm system stood out as Somerset took out the Akron Rubber Ducks 3-1 to salvage a game in a six-game series.

Cam Schlittler blanked the Rubber Ducks over five innings, allowing only two hits, while striking out six for his fourth victory of the year, and third scoreless outing of the season.

Ranked number 10 among top Yankees prospects, Schlittler ranks second in the Eastern League in innings pitched (53.0), strikeouts (64), and fourth in ERA (2.38).

With the six strikeouts on Sunday, Schlittler has recorded at least six strikeouts in each of his last five outings.

Schlittler got all the run support he needed in the bottom of the fourth inning when Rafael Flores crushed a three-run homer to left to give Somerset a 3-0 lead.

Flores leads the Eastern League in homers with 11. He is hitting .286 on the year and has driven in 37.

Meanwhile, in his third game back with Double-A Somerset, Spencer Jones went 1-for-3 with a run scored. He is hitting .375 in his three games back with the ballclub. On the season, Jones is hitting .240 with nine homers and 17 RBI.

Jazz Chisholm: The Yankees infielder played in his third game with the Double-A Patriots, going 0-for-3 on Sunday. In three rehab games, Chisholm hit .333 (three hits in nine at-bats) with two runs scored and a stolen base. It remains to be seen if Chisholm stays with Somerset as it hits the road for Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday, or if he gets activated Tuesday when the Yankees return to the Bronx to host Cleveland.
