Nashville (50-51) 11, Las Vegas (46-54) 4 Box Score

Patrick Kivlehan had two hits including his seventh homer of the season, now slashing .296/.350/.464 since signing with the Mets organization. Everyone in the 51s’ lineup had at least one hit.

Bowie (46-54) 9, Binghamton (47-53) 3 – Box Score

The Rumble Ponies scored three runs in the top of the fifth to take a brief lead, but couldn’t scratch together anything else in their loss to Bowie.

Will Toffey hit a two-run homer and added a base hit, and Levi Michael added an RBI double, as well. Tomas Nido continues to rake in MiLB, stroking a double, and Josh Allen added a two-base hit as well.

Kevin McGowan took the brunt of the damage for Binghamton, giving up six earned runs and taking his first loss, and first decision of the season for the Rumble Ponies. Joe Zanghi allowed three earned runs in his two innings of work.

Scott Copeland (first inning) and Stephen Nogosek (ninth) each worked perfect frames.

Binghamton (48-53) 7, Bowie (46-55) 3 Box Score F/7 Box Score

  • Andres Gimenez SS: 0-for-2, BB, R, SB, .277/.346/.424

Mets top prospect Andres Gimenez went 0-for-6 in his first two games as a Binghamton Rumble Ponie. Binghamton scored seven runs despite only four hits, though they did walk eight times.

Zamora stranded two inherited runners and retired all seven that he faced.

St. Lucie (39-58) 10, Clearwater (50-49) 8 – Box Score

St. Lucie played catch-up all game before scoring four in the bottom of the seventh to take the lead. Luis Carpio and Michael Paez hit home runs in the third and fifth innings, respectively, and Jeremy Vasquez and Dan Rizzie both had multi-hit games.

After Joe Cavallaro got housed for seven earned runs in less than five innings, the Mets’ bullpen was fantastic, keeping themselves in the game, eventually going ahead in the seventh for good.

Columbia (48-50) 3, Rome (54-47) 2 – Game 1, F/7 Box Score

The Fireflies put three on the board in the first inning after an Edgardo Fermin leadoff double followed by a Hansel Moreno single, a wild pitch, a sacrifice fly, and a solo home run from Zach Rheams.

Jake Simon went four innings, working around five base hits and allowing just one earned run. Nicolas Debora secured his third win of the season with three impressive innings in relief that made the Fireflies early lead stand up.

Rome (54-47) 4, Columbia (48-50) 1 – Game 2, F/7 – Box Score

The only run the Fireflies scored in the second game of their twin bill came on Matt Winaker’s solo shot in the sixth. Columbia managed only four hits in the game.

Chris Viall took his sixth loss of the season after getting a bit beat up over his five innings of work. He allowed seven hits, walking two, and fell victim to Rome going 2-for-7 with runners in scoring position.

Mahoning Valley (23-12) 1, Brooklyn (20-17) 0, F/5 (Rain) – Box Score

The Cyclones managed just two singles and two walks in their rain-shortened loss to Mahoning Valley, with Carlos Cortes and Chandler Avant each chipping in base hits.

Mahoning Valley strung together three singles and took advantage of a throwing error by Avant to score the game’s only run.

Kingsport (17-15) 3, Danville (16-17) 1, F/6 (Rain) – Box Score

Mark Vientos hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth to beat Danville in a rain-shortened game in Kingsport today.

  • Jose Butto (1.93 ERA) – 6 IP, 3 H, ER, 6 K, BB

Jose Butto pitched six strong innings, allowing a solo home run to Justin Dean in the top of the sixth and only three other baserunners (two singles and a walk).

GCL Marlins (9-20) 7, GCL Mets (17-14) 2 – Box Score

The Mets got RBI doubles from Jhoander Saez and Jaylen Palmer, but couldn’t capitalize on their ten base hits, leaving ten men on base, and lost to the lowly GCL Marlins.

Today was a bullpen day for the GCL Mets, and it did not go well. Jurgen Jimenez took the loss, allowing four earned runs and four bases-on-balls in three innings pitched, and Marcos Correa got knocked around for seven hits and three runs in two innings of his own.

DSL Mets2 (20-24) 5, DSL D-Backs2 (16-28), 2 – Box Score

The DSL Mets2 scored two runs in the second inning on Jeison Rodriguez’ triple. The D-Backs2 tied the game up in the top of the seventh, but the Mets scored three more in the bottom half of the inning on Endy Rodriguez two-RBI double and Felix Valerio’s RBI base hit.

All three Mets hurlers allowed just one hit in each of their respective outings today. Suarez was the most impressive, allowing just one baserunner in his five innings of work.

David Marcano walked four batters and allowed two runs, but picked up the win. Daniel Guzman worked two clean innings and got the save.

DSL Mets1 (25-18) 8, DSL Angels (13-29) 1 – Box Score

The DSL Mets1 went into the top of the tenth tied at one with the DSL Angels before putting up a touchdown in the frame and going on to win, 8-1.

Seven Mets players had hits, with Alexis Marquez and Juan De La Rosa contributing two hits apiece.

Jeffrey Colon pitched five strong innings, allowing just two hits and striking out six, letting one unearned run cross the plate. Joshua Cornielly and Martin Rodriguez combined for five scoreless innings in relief, with Rodriguez picking up his first win of the season.
