LaMarre went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a steal, Allen went 1-for-2 with a sacrifice fly and a take, and Gardner included a single to lead off a four-run seventh inning.
LaMarre got the call Sunday to change Locastro instead of one-time leading prospect Estevan Florial, with Boone saying the more knowledgeable LaMarre “provides us the very best opportunity in the brief term.”
” Hes doing well, “Boone said.” The most significant thing for him is [staying] healthy and getting those regular reps. Hes had some ups and downs certainly down there, however the greatest thing is hes been able to play routinely. Hopefully hes in store for a big second half.”
The 23-year-old lefty-hitting Florial continues to battle with getting on base and strikeouts, though he homered two times on Friday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

” After last time, showing up for 4 days and harming my hamstring so early, I told Booney, Im not coming out of the video game,” stated LaMarre, who played in three games in May before going on the IL and then getting outrighted off the roster. “You do not get too lots of chances to use pinstripes, so I desire to take benefit of every inning Im given out there.”
