AAA: Rochester Red Wings (31-43) 3, Syracuse Mets (26-51) 1 BOX SCORE

The Syracuse offense mustered only three hits on Tuesday night in Rochester. Mason WIlliams, Mark Payton and Tovar each had one hit. Tovar singled in the ninth, stole second base, advanced to third on a Mazeika groundout and scored on a wild pitch.

Worley got the start and allowed only two runs on six hits while striking out one. Despite the quality start, Worley took the loss. The right-hander pitched four scoreless innings to start his outing, then allowed a run on a single in the fifth inning. In the sixth, Worley surrendered a solo home run to give Rochester a two-run lead. In the eighth inning, Kilome gave up a solo home run to catcher Keibert Ruiz – a top prospect dealt from Los Angeles to Washington in the trade for Max Scherzer and Trea Turner.

AA: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (31-44) 9, Portland Sea Dogs (47-28) 0 BOX SCORE

The Binghamton offense posted 11 hits, four walks and nine runs on Tuesday night, led by Cortes. The designated hitter led off and collected three hits, including a double, and drove in two runs. Baty, appearing in left field on Tuesday, led off the eighth inning with a single and came around to score on a Carlos Rincon single. Third base prospect Mark Vientos exited Tuesday’s game in the fourth inning.

Butto got the nod and tossed six scoreless innings to earn the win, his first victory since being promoted to Binghamton. After getting the first two outs in the first, Butto allowed back-to-back singles, then a wild pitch moved the runners to second and third. He struck out the next Portland batter to get out of the jam. Winans and Orze combined to pitch in three scoreless innings in the shutout.

A+: Hudson Valley Renegades (51-28) 5, Brooklyn Cyclones (30-47) 0 BOX SCORE

Palmer, a Brooklyn native making his debut with the Cyclones after being from promoted from St. Lucie, went hitless and struck out three times in his homecoming. Mauricio, the organization’s top shortstop prospect, also failed to reach base on Tuesday. Alvarez, the organization’s top prospect, reached base once on a ninth inning walk. Edgardo Fermin had a single in the second, the lone Brooklyn hit on Tuesday. The Cyclones failed to score against Hudson Valley.

Vilera took the hill on Tuesday and turned in a strong outing. The righty allowed two runs, one of which was unearned, on six hits and one walk in 5 ⅔ innings. Vilera struck out the first two Hudson Valley batters of the game, then a batter reached base on a fielding error by first baseman Cody Bohanek. That Hudson Valley baserunner later came around to score an unearned run on a single. The bullpen combined to allow three runs in 3 ⅓ innings.
