Syracuse (38-40) 6, Pawtucket (31-45) 3 BOX SCORE

The Mets offense got to former Mariner Erasmo Rameriz, tagging him for three runs over the course of six-and-a-third innings. Danny Espinosa put forth a solid game, recording one double and two singles in four at bats. Tim Tebow doubled for the eighth time this season, raising his OPS to .449. Aaron Altherr recorded two hits in four at bats.

Harol Gonzalez continues to work towards a promotion to the MLB with another strong start for Syracuse. Daniel Zamora lowered his AAA ERA to 2.53 as he continues his strong return to Syracuse. Tim Peterson worked a clean innings last night aswell. Jacob Rhame gave up one run in an inning of work.

Erie (37-36) 10, Binghamton (38-34) 0 F/7 G1 BOX SCORE

The Rumble Ponies offense was… well… not there. As a team, they recorded three hits in total  over the course of a seven inning game. Ali Sanchez was the only hitter to reach base twice as he doubled and walked. Andres Gimenez has continued a nice return from the injured list, hitting in six of his last nine games.

Luc Rennie did not support the lack of an offense last night for Binghamton. In need of a Game 2 starter, the Ponies called on Rennie. He did not entirely answer the call. Rennie was absolutely destroyed by Erie, getting punched by the SeaWolves offense about every other pitch. Joseph Shaw managed to work a scoreless inning in this game.

Erie (38-36) 2, Binghamton (38-35) 1 BOX SCORE

For the second straight game, the Ponies’ offense was nowhere to be seen. Dustin Houle was the only player to record more than one hit on the game. Ali Sanchez went 1-3, following a solid Game 1 performance. He now has a 17-game hitting streak.

Vilera did not have his best stuff on Wednesday, but was able to push through and manage a solid start for the Ponies. He lowered his season ERA to a solid 3.18, which is a very solid continuation of his 2018 season.

Dunedin (46-27) 3, St Lucie (39-36) 1 BOX SCORE

The Mets offense was no where to be found. Jeremy Vasquez was the only other Met to record a hit, and he had the team’s only RBI. Cortes’ double was his 15th of the season.

Kevin Smith, who has had a very impressive season so far, continued his solid work today without having his best stuff. Smith’s gutty outing was a solid bounce back from his last outing where he gave up four earned runs.

Columbia (28-45) 2, Lexington (39-37) 1 BOX SCORE

Hayden Senger continues to stay hot with a two hit performance, as he is hitting .417 over his last 10 games. The 22-year-old catching prospect has raised his batting average for Columbia from .183 to .242. A strong OBP also sees him OPSing .726. Ronny Mauricio continues to do Ronny Mauricio things, as he now has recorded five hits in his last four games. Gerson Molina ripped his eighth double of the season.

Jose Butto turned in one of his best starts of the season, going six innings, allowing one run and striking out five.

Brooklyn 2, Aberdeen 1 F/10 BOX SCORE

Joe Genord blasted his second home run of the 2019 campaign, the best mark on the team for the young season. Gavin Cecchini continued his rehab assignment, going 2-4 with a double.

Corey Oswalt continued his rehab assignment with the Cyclones tonight, going just under five innings and striking out four. 2019 draft pick Mitch Ragan recorded seven scoreless outs.

Kingsport (6-3) 4, Burlington (5-4) 1 BOX SCORE

The Mets offense exploded for 11 hits, but only crossed 4 runs across the plate. Kennie Taylor out of Duke University, ripped his first triple of his professional career against Burlington. Wilfred Astudillo continued his hot start, ripping his first double.

Ramon Guzman threw a scoreless start for Kingsport, his second of the season. Guzman’s 7 K’s are a season high. Escorcha.

GCL Mets (2-0) 11, GCL Astros (0-3) 6 BOX SCORE

  • DH Brett Baty: 2-5, 2B (.333/.400/.556)
  • C Francisco Alvarez: 2-3, HR (.571/.667/1.286)
  • CF Adrian Hernandez: 2-4, 2 2B (.444/.500/1.000)

The GCL offense exploded for 11 runs yesterday, and were lead by arguably the three best prospects on the team. Baty, Alvarez, and Hernandez combined for six hits, three doubles, and a long ball. The three “bonus babies” are leading the team’s offense on the young season.

Robert Colina threw four pretty solid innings for the Mets, and was backed by a very shaky bullpen. Only Ronnie Taylor Jr. turned in a clean outing out of the bullpen.

DSL Rockies (12-8) 14, DSL Mets1 (11-8) 11 BOX SCORE

Carlos Dominguez had his best game of the season, recording three extra-base hits.

DSL Cubs 15, DSL Mets2 (8-10) 4 BOX SCORE

The Mets offense was quiet; Campos was the only to record multiple hits.

  • RHP Eiker Huizi: 3 IP,  H, 2 R, ER, 4 BB, 3 K (2-1, 1.38)

Starter Ricardo Rodriguez failed to record more than one out.
