New Orleans Zephyrs 6, Las Vegas 51s (57-63) Box Score

Cecchini who had been excelling in the leadoff spot since the trade of Dilson Herrera was moved down to seventh in the lineup for this one.

Gsellman was in the line for the victory until Henderson coughed up three runs in the eighth inning. It was his fifth straight quality started for the 51s and has struck out 31 batters in 32.2 innings during that span. He’s on the 40-man roster and would line up for the next time Logan Verrett‘s rotation spot comes up but instead the Mets seem to prefer Jon Niese.

Binghamton Mets (55-61) 7, Harrisburg Senators 3 Box Score

It was the first AA home run for Rosario who set a new season high overall with his fourth blast of the year. Here is the home run for your viewing pleasure.

Bradenton Marauders 7, St. Lucie Mets (61-52) 4 Box Score

  • Tomas Nido C: 1 for 4, R, 2B (22nd), .315/.347/.468
  • Jhoan Urena DH: 1 for 2, 2 BB, R, .218/.288/.329
  • John Mora RF: 1 for 2, 2B (15th), 2 BB, RBI, R, .243/.341/.327

The Mets scored two runs in the ninth inning but the comeback fell short when Kevin Taylor grounded out with the tying run on deck to end the game.

Greensboro Grasshoppers 3, Columbia Fireflies (53-65) 2 Box Score

Milton Ramos knocked in the only two runs for Columbia with his thirteenth double of the season.

Brooklyn Cyclones (29-25) 14, West Virginia Black Bears 7 Box Score

Lindsay tied the Cylones record with his seven RBIs and finished a triple short of the cycle. Reyes is now 2 for 6 with two walks and two stolen bases this time around with Brooklyn.

Szapucki had his worst outing of the year but still set a Cylones record with his third straight double digit strikeout start (his first four with the team as well). He has now struck out 86 batters this year in 52 innings. Mets GM Sandy Alderson was in attendance to watch him throw along with Ron Romanick who is the Mets minor league pitching coordinator.

Elizabethton Twins 6, Kingsport Mets (17-32) 4 Box Score

Five players in the Mets lineup had two hits as the team out hit the Twins 13-4 but left 10 runners stranded.

  • Jake Simon LHP: 5 IP, 5 H, 5 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, L (1-5, 4.84)

GCL Marlins 8, GCL Mets (17-23) 1 Box Score

Carpio remains on the road back from shoulder surgery and will DH for the rest of the season.

DSL Mets1 (36-23) 4, DSL Rangers1 3 Box Score

Gimenez scored the walk-off run on throwing error by the Rangers shortstop in the 10th inning.

DSL Rangers2 18, DSL Mets2 6 (18-40) Box Score

Valdez was one of four Mets with multiple hits but they also made five errors and the pitching staff walked ten batters, hit three and threw eight wild pitches.

    Lindsay looks good, hopefully he shakes off the injury bug.

    Szapucki will learn that control is what ultimately matters. You can strike out the world but you can still lose by getting babip’d to death.

    Gimenez is my favorite prospect.

    Cecchini should be up at the major league level while Walker plays 3b.

    I didn’t even realize the 51s are below .500. Makes it even more fabulous that checchini is hitting 7th again on a team i assume is not even going to playoffs. So wally can’t even at least pretend excuse is hitting the ‘veterans’ for playoffs

  3. lightningboynine

    Gimenez seems like stud. I wish the mets would be a agreesI’ve with him and bring him state side now to set him up to start full season next year.

  4. Jason Mercado

    I think Rosario has mastered AA. He and Smith should be in the AAA infield next season. Lindsay if he can stay on the field can be a real exciting player for Mets in 2-3 seasons. Alonso before the injury looks good as well. Szapucki will be the prospect Mets may have to have him untouchable at this rate. They normally don’t rush players but I think he’d fit well in High A next season.

    down to 8th last night

    With potential control issues, I’m fine with him sitting in lowA to work on things, IMO, he should be there now.

  8. Jason Mercado

    This is true. He’s been wild lately. Low A makes sense now until he stops walking 4-5 batters a game.
