Iowa 7, Las Vegas 51s (47-44) 2 Box Score

The loss keeps the 51s down 5.5 games behind division leading El Paso.

Travis Taijeron and Sean Gilmartin drove in the two 51s runs. Conforto looked solid at the plate again in his quest to return to the major leagues. Plawecki got his first start of the year at first base.

  • Sean Gilmartin LHP: 5 IP, 6 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, L, 9-4, 4.84 ERA
  • Jim Henderson RHP: 1 IP, BB, 2 K, 0.00 ERA

Gilmartin got touched up through five innings in a forgettable start. Henderson threw a scoreless inning for the second straight night.

Binghamton Mets (41-49) 3, Hartford 2 F/13 Box Score

WALK-OFF! Binghamton wins in dramatic fashion in a 13 inning affair.

Smith has hit above .350 in the last ten games, and Rosario is hitting over .420 since his promotion to Binghamton. De La Cruz had a pinch-hit RBI single to give the B-Mets a walk-off win.

Montero was good in his return to the B-Mets after a horrid performance this year for Las Vegas. Taylor capped off an impressive seven innings of shutout ball from the bullpen to secure the victory with two perfect innings of his own.

St. Lucie Mets (47-41) 8, Daytona 1 Box Score

Every player in the St. Lucie lineup had a hit with Wuilmer Becerra going 1 for 5 and his seventh stolen base.

  • P.J. Conlon LHP: 6 IP, 2 H, ER, 4 K, W, 3-0, 2.18 ERA

Conlon continues to have an excellent 2016 campaign, going 11-1 across Columbia and St. Lucie.

Rome 3, Columbia Fireflies (41-51) 0 Box Score

Winningham was the only Fireflies hitter multiple hits. There were no extra base hits, it was that kind of game for Columbia.

Ingram continued to struggle for Columbia, especially with his control. Bashlor, on the other hand, has been a solid piece out of the bullpen all year and has 46 strikeouts in 39.1 innings.

Lowell 7, Brooklyn Cyclones (13-15) 3 Box Score

2016 draftees Paez and Alonso have gotten a hit in every professional game to start their young careers.

Kingsport Mets (9-12) 15, Bristol 3 Box Score

Correa and Rasquin combined to knock in seven of the Mets 15 runs in the offensive explosion.

  • Adonis Uceta RHP: 6 IP, 3 H, ER, 6 K, HR, W, 2-2, 5.40 ERA

GCL Cardinals 6, GCL Mets (10-8) 5 Box Score

The GCL Mets lost a nail biter, despite a late push in the 8th inning. The team was only 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position.

DSL Mets1 2 (18-17), DSL Yankees1 1 6 Innings (Suspended, Rain) Box Score

Mets1 lead in a suspended game on a unearned run in the top of the 6th inning

DSL Mets 1 9 (18-17), DSL Yankees1 8 Box Score

Mets1 came back from being down 7-4 after two innings to secure the victory over Yankees1 in this high scoring affair.

Moreno extended his hitting streak to 14 games. Granadillo hit his first home run at the DSL level with this grand slam.

Both Campos and Familia performed well in their Mets1 debuts, after being transferred from Mets2 earlier today.

DSL Mets2 6 (14-22), DSL Red Sox2 5 Box Score

Garcia continued showing his impressive plate vision with two more walks.

Isturiz had a strong performance despite his command, and Guzman was perfect in 1.1 IP for the win.

Earlier in the day shortstop Andres Gimenez was among three Mets named to the DSL All-Star Game roster.

    I mean maybe its just me but for awhile I’ve wanted conforto back as the starting LFer, keep Nimmo and DFA de aza.
    Of course de aza keeps getting that once a month hit and terry of course would prefer that once a month over nimmo because he’s a ‘veteran’.

    I still don’t care to hear about ‘development’ with Nimmo on bench. Injury plagued or not hes had plenty of years in minors and 2 in vegas already. Anything else he needs to learn should be taught by major league coaching IMO.

  2. Michael Mayer

    That is where we will disagree with Lagares healthy there is little reason for Nimmo to be the 5th OF (assuming Conforto comes back). He is still young and hasn’t gotten enough at bats the last couple of years, he is better served playing everyday in AAA.

  3. Ernest Dove

    I hear ya but if Nimmo isn’t traded this year (anyway) and Yo is still on team next year that means what for Nimmo? A third year at AAA level to ‘stay sharp”?

  4. Michael Mayer

    That is something you worry about next year, not right now. I just don’t see the point in Nimmo rotting on the bench until September when he would be up anyway. I think a month or so of everyday minor league at bats would be better for him than playing twice a week (maybe). Also could use more reps in the outfield corners and that won’t happen as a 5th OF.

  5. Out of place Met fan

    Agree. That is a deferred decision that typically takes care of itself. Regular PA for Nimmo and Conforto are what is best for the team long term. Either one or the other in Vegas, Conforto offering more of what the team lacks with Wright and Duda down.

    Playoffs are a different scenario where best 25 are available.

  6. Out of place Met fan

    Of note is Plawecki playing first

  7. Michael Mayer

    Yes and his first of the year there. Could give TC some more options in September.

  8. jdon48

    Exact;y. He may be looking for a light hitting first baseman sat some point

  9. lareplus

    Does anyone know how Conforto did playing right field?
