Ryan Madson, LA Dodgers (Batavia, '09) stats: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 SO

*Note: Matt Barnes pitched one inning for the Red Sox last night . There is some confusion about whether Barnes is a former NYPL player. The Lowell Spinners Tweeted yesterday that Barnes played for the Spinners in 2011. Their website includes him on their list of former players. However, I can’t find any evidence that Barnes ever played for Lowell in 2011, or any other season. The Boston Red Sox website and their media guide indicates that he didn’t play minor league baseball until 2012, so I am not including him in the stats listing.
