The Scottsdale Scorpions broke their four game losing streak with a 4-1 win over the Salt River Rafters last night. They are now 3-6 and sitting in last place in the Arizona Fall League Eastern Division.

Mets relief prospect Corey Taylor worked around two ninth inning singles to pick up his first AFL save after having 20 during the regular season for the St. Lucie Mets. Taylor, 23, has pitched 5.2 innings in the AFL allowing only one run on four hits while striking out three and walking nobody.

Gavin Cecchini got his fourth start at shortstop (one at second base) and had a rough day in the field committing a throwing and fielding error. He now has three errors in the AFL after setting a career high with 33 for the Las Vegas 51s. At the plate, Cecchini went 0 for 3 with a walk and run scored. He’s slashing .267/.381/.400 in 15 at bats with three RBI and four runs scored.

Tim Tebow (2 for 20) was given the night off, along with Mets prospects Champ Stuart (3 for 13) and Matt Oberste (0 for 11). In case you missed it, Marcos Molina threw three scoreless innings on Wednesday night as he works his way back from TJS.
