Here are your latest updates from the world of the Mets minor league system from the past week.
Las Vegas 51s
The 51s struggled to a 2-5 record this week, despite scoring 60 runs in that span. At 35-33, they currently sit four games out of first place in the PCL Southern Division.
Binghamton Mets
The B-Mets used a 5-2 week to expand their EAS Eastern Division lead to 6.5 games over the Portland Sea Dogs. Binghamton is off tonight as they travel to Richmond, but are currently sitting pretty with a 42-26 record.
St. Lucie Mets
St. Lucie had a shortened week thanks to All-Star Game festivities in Dunedin over the weekend, but took three of four from Clearwater to end the first half on a good note. However, they’re sporting a 34-30 record, which is still nine games behind Fort Myers.
Savannah Sand Gnats
The Gnats are the first half champs of the Sally League, and are riding a current six-game winning streak. This recent string of victories has pushed their season record to 43-26, which is 3.5 games ahead of the Charlestown RiverDogs.
