Las Vegas 51 (64-71) 11, Salt Lake Bees 7 Box Score

Conforto is now hitting .537/.576/.889 with five home runs since being sent back down to Vegas. He also had another hit vs a lefty making him 11 for 18 with two homers against lefties in that span. Interesting to see Conforto in right field for the first time in his second Vegas visit. Nimmo is now tied at .347 for the PCL batting title.

  •  Josh Zeid RHP: 5 IP, 6 H, 2 R (ER), BB 5 K, W (2-1, 6.58)
  • Paul Sewald RHP: 1.1 IP, H, BB, K, S (16th save, 3.45)

Zeid is among three Mets minor leagues on the roster for Team Israel in the upcoming WBC Qualifier. Sewald now has 77 K/19 BB rate in 62.2 innings this year and could be in line for a September call up.

Bowie Baysox 3, Binghamton Mets (61-69) 1 Box Score

Good news for Evans is he’s on his way for qualifying for the batting title, bad news is Aneury Tavarez went 3 for 5 last night and is now hitting .335 for Portland.

St. Lucie Mets (66-57) 7, Palm Beach Cardinals 5 Box Score Game One

  • Kevin Taylor DH: 2 for 3, 2B, RBI, 2 BB, 3 R, .293/.390/.415
  • John Mora RF: 2 for 4, 3B, BB, 2 RBI, R, SB .242/.340/.335

The Mets scored two runs off former big leaguer Daniel Bard without a hit after he walked two and hit a batter in the only three hitters he faced.

Palm Beach Cardinals 1, St. Lucie Mets (66-58) 0 Box Score Game Two

  • Kevin Taylor DH: 1 for 2, BB, .293/.390/.415
  • Tomas Nido C: 1 for 2, BB, .311/.350/.453

The Mets had only two hits in game two and fell half a game out of first place with the loss. Nido would lead the league in hitting but is now just of qualifying.

  • P.J. Conlon LHP: 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K (1.53)

Conlon did not pitch in both games on the same day, the first game was the completion of a suspended game.

Kannapolis Intimidators 6, Columbia Fireflies (61-70) 3 Box Score

Catcher Tyler Moore had a tough game with his fifth error and 13th passed ball.

  • Nabil Crismatt RHP: 7 IP, 10 H, 5 R (3 ER), 0 BB, 10 K, L (1-2, 1.88)

Brooklyn Cyclones (33-33) 1, Williamsport Crosscutters 0 Box Score

The 19-year old catcher has struggled at the plate but threw out another runner trying to steal, now thrown out 28 of 59 would-be basestealers this season.

Princeton Rays 5, Kingsport Mets (22-40) 1 Box Score

Cespedes is hitting .390 with six runs scored over his last ten games.

DSL Mets1 (44-26) 1, DSL Cubs1 Box Score

Raul Beracierta and Edinson Valdez each had a hit in the game.

  • Nelmerson Xavier Angela LHP: 5 IP, Zero Hits!, 2 BB, 4 K (1.88)
  • Jorge Cespedes RHP: 4 IP, H, 3 K, W (3-1, 2.74)

The Mets lost their no-hit bid with one out in the top of the 8th inning.

    I’ve expressed my thoughts on Champ Stuart. I still believe in him as a player. I know what I saw in person and I know what I heard from his girlfriend.

    I wonder what’s going to be the situation now with AAA guys like Cecchini and Nimmo for next year. Cecchini I don’t see on the roster unless mets decide not to resign Walker and let Reyes go. cecchini looks like he can hit but he’s not a SS based off the hundreds of errors he’s had in his minor league career

  3. Jason Mercado

    He’s just gotta hit some more and not strikeout so damn much. he’d be a Leadoff hitter with SB speed the mets need badly

  4. Michael Mayer

    Reyes isn’t going anywhere, they have him for the league minimum next year.

  5. SynderGOD

    Conforto needs to be in the majors and playing every day.

  6. jdon48

    Everyone knows that Conforto is hitting great because he is in
    vegas. Everybody bats .537 in vegas.

  7. rob

    Have they had Gavin play any 2B in Vegas? If not, why wouldn’t they let him get some experience there this year?

  8. danielm34 - LGM

    He hasn’t. I would assume that them keeping him solely at SS is an attempt to keep his trade value as high as possible (SS being more valuable than 2B). That being said, I do think Gavin can stick at SS long term, so until Rosario and him are playing at the same level, there’s really no reason to move him off of SS. I would imagine he’d get some playing time a 2B in spring training, since, assuming Rosario is the SS of the future, Gavin will either be the starting 2B or a utility guy.

  9. danielm34 - LGM

    And with Stuart’s no K day, he pushes his K% below 40% in Binghamton. Now, if only he could get to around 25%, we could start talking about him as a legit good prospect. He still has lots of potential, but he needs to make more contact.

    Basically means he’ll be starting 2nd/3rd baseman opening day. Can’t leave that speed on the bench.

  12. Michael Mayer

    Cecchini has started taking ground balls at 2b and will play some there in AFL
