Rays down on the farm May 15: Stanek's career outing leads Crabs

All affiliates not playing the Clearwater Threshers had a tougher time.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (20-15)

Durham briefly held a lead before getting blown out in its 10-2 loss to Scranton. Taylor Motter's sacrifice fly in the fourth gave the Bulls a 2-1 edge, but the game quickly unraveled for starter Scott Diamond. He retired the first batter of the inning before allowing the next seven to reach en route to a five-run inning. Diamond finished with six runs allowed in 4 2/3 innings, and Norberto let the game get out of hand with a three-run sixth.

Double-A Montgomery Biscuits (15-19)

Montgomery was beaten thoroughly in its 8-1 loss to Tennessee. Daniel Robertson's two-out double in the third cut the Biscuits' deficit in half, but the Smokies scored six unanswered runs to close the game. Jared Mortensen allowed four runs in six innings, and Ryan Garton got tagged with four runs in two-thirds of an inning.

Class A-Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs (24-10)

Clearwater scored a run for the first time since it played at Jack Russell Memorial Stadium, but it did not matter in Charlotte's 5-1 win over the Threshers. Ryne Stanek ensured their offensive woes continued with his best start as a professional, striking out nine and allowing just three hits and two walks in seven scoreless innings. Jake Bauers powered the Stone Crabs' lineup with four hits -- including three doubles --, and Mike Marjama's home run added to the lead.

Class A Bowling Green Hot Rods (20-14)

Bowling Green was not particularly competitive in its 11-0 loss to West Michigan. The Whitecaps scored twice in the second before blowing the game open with a six-run third. Hot Rods starter Henry Centeno did not survive that inning, finishing with eight runs allowed in 2 2/3 innings. His counterpart, A.J. Ladwig, struck out 10 in eight scoreless innings. Cristian Toribio was the only Hot Rod to reach base twice.
