• SS Jose Iglesias 1-for-5, R, HR (6), RBI (18), K (.835 OPS)

Syracuse had a great offensive game, with eight of nine hitters reaching base. Mark Vientos and Ben Gamel continue anchoring this Syracuse offense, and new addition Mike Brosseau went 3-for-4 with 2 runs scored.

• RHP Yacksel Rios (2.30) 1 IP, K

Mike Vasil had another uneven outing, despite his only run being on a solo home run. Vasil struggled with his control, limiting him to 4 2/3 innings pitched but lowering his ERA. The bullpen had a great game, only allowing two hits and a run on a solo home run.

Double-A

Binghamton Rumble Ponies (15-12) 5, Portland Sea Dogs (16-11) 3
BOX SCORE

• RF Matt Rudick 1-for-4, RBI (15), BB, K (.779 OPS)
• 2B Rowdey Jordan 1-for-4, 2B, R, BB, 2 K (.707 OPS)
• CF Alex Ramirez 0-for-3, R, RBI (13), 2 BB, K (.741 OPS)
• 1B JT Schwartz 0-for-3, R, BB, SB (4), 2 K (.801 OPS)
• LF Brandon McIlwain 0-for-3, RBI (7), BB, 2 K (.641 OPS)
• DH Kevin Parada 1-for-5, 2 K (.546 OPS)

The Rumble Ponies scored two runs on bases-loaded walks, and JT Schwartz stole another base, possibly adding another facet to his game. However, the Rumble Ponies were stifled early on by Sea Dogs starter Angel Bastardo, who struck out 10 in five innings of work.

Alex Ramirez, cooling down after his hot start did get an outfield assist, throwing Red Sox prospect Kyle Teel out at home.

• RHP Cameron Foster (3.22) 4 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 4 BB, 3 K, (49 of 77 pitches for strikes)
• RHP Andre Scrubb (1.80) 2 IP, 1 H, 2 K
• RHP Junior Santos (4.50) 1 IP, 2 ER, 2 H, BB, 2 K

Cameron Foster struggled with his control but limited to Sea Dogs to one run. Junior Santos came out in a non-save situation and allowed two runs, making the game much closer than it was.

High-A

Rome Braves (15-12) 1, Brooklyn Cyclones (16-13) 0
–BOX SCORE

• CF Stanley Consuegra 0-for-3, BB (.580 OPS)
• RF Nick Morabito 1-for-3, BB, K (.641 OPS)
• 1B Ryan Clifford 0-for-4, 2 K (.756 OPS)
• C Christopher Suero 1-for-3, K (.489 OPS)
• DH Nolan McLean 0-for-4, 3 K (.909 OPS)

The Cyclones had two hits and three walks on the day, so offense wasn’t in the cards. Left fielder Omar De Los Santos has the dubious honor of stealing two bases, one after he reached on a force out and another after he reached base on a catchers interference.

• RHP Brandon Sproat(1.07) 5 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 3 BB, 8 K (57 of 90 pitches for strikes)
• RHP Joey Lancellotti (2.35) 1 1/3 IP, 2 H, 1 K
• RHP Justin Lawson (0.59) 1 IP, BB, K

Brandon Sproat had another great start for the Cyclones, almost mirroring his last start. Sproat did allow one run, and that would be the game-deciding run. Justin Lawson has continued his domination on the season, allowing one earned run while striking out 15 batters in 15 1/3 innings.

• 2B Marco Vargas 1-for-2, 2 R, 3 BB (.813 OPS)

St. Lucie’s offense would not be enough, with the pitching side of the ball having an off day. Colin Houck is 1 for his last 25 with 15 strikeouts.

Marco Vargas, in his first appearance since April 28th, went 1-for-2 with two runs scored and three walks. Ronald Hernandez had the day off.

• RHP Kade Morris (2.61) 5 IP, 5 ER, 7 H, BB, 9 K, 3 HR allowed (55 of 81 pitches for strikes)
