Las Vegas 51s 17 (44-39), Salt Lake (Angels, 39-43) 13 Box Score

Cecchini stole a base in the third before Conforto drove him in. TJ Rivera hit a grand slam in the sixth inning. This has been Rivera’s first multi-hit game since he returned from the DL on 6/28. Conforto has struck out five times in 8 games. Travis Taijeron hit 2 doubles, and 34 total.

Zack Thornton continues to struggle at Triple-A, giving up three runs on five hits in two innings. Jeff Walters pitched a scoreless inning.

Hartford 3 (Colorado, 45-37) Binghamton Mets 1 (38-47) Box Score

This was Reyes’s last game in the minors, if you haven’t heard. Rosario has six extra base hits in 13 games (5 2B, 1 3B). Dominic Smith is hitting .395 in his last 10 games.

This is his best start since May 23rd. Alberto Baldonado has struggled, giving up two runs to lose the game.

High-A: St. Lucie Mets 3, (41-37) Fort Myers Miracle 1 (Minnesota, 42-38)

Nido continues his excellent year with his third straight multi-hit game. Urena has hit .353 in his last ten games.

  • P.J. Conlon LHP 7 IP, 6 H, ER, BB, 8K Win, (2-0) 2.08 ERA

Mets Pitchers struck out 13. Conlon has gone at least seven innings in his first three starts at High-A St. Lucie.

Charleston 3 (Yankees, 47-33), Columbia Fireflies (39-43) Box Score

Winningham is on a five-game hitting streak and is hitting .308 in his last ten. Thompson is 8 for 23 since returning from the Disabled List

  • Chase Ingram RHP 4.1 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, Loss (4-7) 5.16 ERA

Ingram went from bad to worse in May (5.87) and June (6.66). He has 73 K’s in 75 innings.

Brooklyn Cyclones 5 (8-10), Batavia  1 (Miami, 4-14) Box Score

That was Woodmansee’s first career home run and steal. Sanchez has gone 5 for 7 in the last two days, in his first couple of games since 6/24.

  • Merandy Gonzalez RHP 7 IP, 2 H, R, 9 K W, (2-0) 2.21
  • Justin Dunn RHP 2 IP, 2 H, 2K

Gonzalez continues to dominate the New York-Penn League, placing second in strikeouts, to his counterpart Harol Gonzalez. This was Dunn’s professional debut. He will likely pitch in relief this season, as he had a career high in innings at Boston College.

Kingsport Mets 7 (4-8), Greeneville Astros 3 (4-8) Box Score

Strom stole home for the first run of the game.

Szapucki is second in the league with a 0.54 ERA, and is leading the league by ten with 30 Strikeouts in 16.2 innings pitched.

Rookie Ball: DSL Red Sox2 4 (20-5), DSL Mets2 0 (7-19) Box Score

Beracierta’s 14-game hit streak has been snapped. Gimenez is hitless in his last two games, and did not fare well against Red Sox’s Andres Jimenez.

    This ongoing Urena hot streak is awesome to see.

    The Gonzalez brothers down in BK seem to have a knack for the K. Hopefully Dunn transitions seamlessly to the pen for the rest of the season.

    Szapucki is too advanced for his level. He has enough fastball to blow by these hitters and should be challenged in BK IMO (I’m being selfish, I’d love to catch a game with him pitching).

    Gimenez has been hitless the past two games? Traid.

  3. SynderGOD

    Szapuki continues to amaze. He’s been putting up video game numbers. Is it possible he gets moved up?

  5. Indian Dynamite!

    Cecchini keeps raking but the errors are a problem.

    Good to see Jannis finally having a good start. Still hoping for the next RA Dickey although he has had a really tough time controlling that knuckleball. Also, Szapucki is amazing. 30 Ks in 16.2 innings. Needs to be called up to Brooklyn soon, although I’m not sure the Mets will do that.

  7. Michael Mayer

    I think we could see him in Brooklyn at some point but also think the Mets will try to keep his innings low this year.

  8. SynderGOD

    I would love to see some video of him this year. He must have great stuff if he’s striking out so many batters.

  9. Michael Mayer

    I posted a short video on twitter after his first start, search my handle and his name and you should find it.
