Righthanded pitcher and second baseman Jayson Yano threw three consecutive complete games for the Newark Pilots from mid-June to early July. In those three games – against Glens Falls, Watertown and Albany – the 6-foot, 170-pound athlete tossed 22 innings allowing only two earned runs while posting a sparkling 16-to-2 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

Yano opened the season in the Pilots' bullpen before being move to the starting rotation. He made his fourth start of the year on Monday night against second-place Elmira in the West Division, and while he didn't go the distance, he did pick up the win.

On the year Yano is now 4-1 in 30 1/3 innings of work with a 1.48 ERA. He has allowed only 25 hits and three walks with 21 strikeouts.
