Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (36-25) 14, Syracuse (30-33) 3 BOX SCORE

The Mets bats weren’t even close to their biggest problem on Sunday, but they sure did not help the cause. Dilson Herrera and Arismendy Alcantara both went yard for the Mets, but both sent solo shots when they went yard, and accounted for all of the team’s runs. The team went 0-4 with runners in scoring position, squandering any chance they were given by the RailRiders. Colton Plaia, recently having got back up and over the mendoza-line, is at .208 now on the season for his batting average.

Its safe to say that Casey Coleman would like to forget his start yesterday. He didn’t record two outs, and wound up raising his ERA by almost a whole point. Of the six Mets to pitch, only Louis Coleman and Ryan O’Rourke would put up zeros for an inning. By the ninth, Rene Rivera was in to pitch and he wound up doing better than or as good as three other pitchers.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (35-25) 7, Syracuse (30-33) 5 Box Score

Notable that Matt Kemp didn’t play in the doubleheader and the Mets are currently playing with only four bench players.

  • RHP Chris Mazza (1-3, 3.86) 5 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 3 BB, 7 K

Hartford (36-25) 3, Binghamton (32-25) 1 BOX SCORE

The Rumble Ponies ran into a brick wall called Rico Garcia on Sunday in Hartford, only mustering five hits and one run in the series finale. Garcia entered the game with an ERA of 1.92, and backed it up by shutting down the Ponies’ bats. Only Ali Sanchez recorded more than a single, and the bats for the most part were quiet.

Luc Rennie threw five no-hit innings in his Double-A debut for the Mets. Rennie, 25, spent more of the season bouncing between being active for St. Lucie and being inactivated and sent to Brooklyn’s roster. Nine strikeout is a season high for Rennie, and it was his first scoreless outing since May 20th. As for McGeorge, he has given up six runs in his last three outings, spanning over 4.2 innings. Joseph Shaw now owns a 1.29 ERA since being assigned to Binghamton.

Lakeland (28-33) 8, St. Lucie (30-31) 2 BOX SCORE

The Mets bats fell silent in a continuation of of last night’s game in Lakeland, as they matched their run total from yesterday. Jacob Zanon hit his third homerun of the year in the game, which counted for his 20th RBI of the year. Carlos Cortes, who hit a sacrifice-fly, recorded his 35th RBI of the year, easily the best on the team of anyone still active. Many Rodriguez took a good step towards breaking his slump, as he is hitting .156 in his last 10 games.

Ervin Santana made his second start in the Mets organization, and this one did not go well. Santana was bounced after two innings, and gave up five runs and raised his ERA with the Mets up to 9.00. Santana was piggybacked by Jaison Vilera, who continued his strong 2019 campaign. Vailera will likely be piggybacking Santana until he can go reasonably deep into a game.

Lakeland (29-33) 2, St. Lucie (30-32) 0 Box Score

St. Lucie had only two hits and walked three times.

*Note: Both the continuation of Saturday’s game and today’s scheduled game for the Columbia Fireflies were rained out, makeup dates TBD*
