Worcester Red Sox vs. Syracuse Mets: PPD, doubleheader on Friday

Binghamton Rumble Ponies 10 (37-48), Hartford Yard Goats 1 (29-57) Box Score

  • CF Jake Mangum 4-for-5, 3B, 2 R, .275/.322/.447
  • 3B Brett Baty 4-for-5 2 HR, 2B, 4 RBI, 2 R, .296/.382/.504
  • C Nick Meyer 2-for-4, RBI, R, BB, .274/.350/.358

Baty stays hot as he and Mangum combined for eight hits Thursday night in Binghamton’s big win. The bats were alive as the Rumble Ponies combined for 15 hits and 10 runs. Baty homered twice to right center and finished a triple short of the cycle. The Mets number two overall prospect has started to really heat up in Binghamton and this is his third three hit game of the season. Baty now has five homers in 93 plate appearances in Binghamton.

  • RHP Justin Lasko (W, 1-0) 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K, 2.39 ERA

Lasko continues to throw well as he gets his first start since his promotion to Binghamton. Lasko has a 2.39 ERA in 94 innings this season as he continues to be a bright spot for the Mets minor league pitching staff. Lasko had great command of his pitches tonight as he threw well to contact and impressed in his first start at Binghamton.

Wilmington Blue Rocks 5 (36-51), Brooklyn Cyclones 4 (34-51) Box Score

Alvarez stays hot as he homers in back to back games for the Cyclones.  Palmer hit the ball well as he provided two extra base hits with a pair of RBI’s as well.  Alvarez now has a .876 OPS for Brooklyn and 16 home runs on the season.  Alvarez has 16 home runs in 241 at bats as the Mets number one prospect continues to impress.  Alvarez home run went to right field as the 19 year old is really showing his raw strength and pop to all parts of the field.

  • RHP J.T. Ginn (L, 1-2) 5 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 4 BB, 3 K, 3.77 ERA

Ginn had some command issues Thursday night as he issued four walks in five innings of work.  He has done a good job at keeping the ball in the park allowing zero home runs on Thursday.  Ginn, the Mets top active pitching arm, looks to keep developing his pitches and get his velocity back up coming off Tommy John surgery.

Game One: St. Lucie Mets 4 (46-37), Dunedin Blue Jays 1 (37-48) Box Score

The Mets took the first game of their double-header Thursday afternoon as Thompson continues to hit the ball well in his rehab assignment for Syracuse.  St. Lucie was very active on the base path this game as they had four stolen bases by four different players.  Ramirez had a big two out RBI single to put the Mets up 3-1 in the fifth.  Jose Martinez had a hit in two at bats until he was subbed out as he continues his rehab assignment looking to get back to the New York Mets soon.

  • RHP Junior Santos (W, 4-3) 7 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, BB, 6 K, 4.68 ERA

Santos was phenomenal Thursday as he threw a complete game and got the win.  Santos had great control only walking one batter across seven innings and striking out six.  Santos limited damage well allowing six hits and only one run.  Santos picked up his fourth win of the season and saved the bullpen some innings while doing so.

Game Two: St. Lucie Mets 4 (47-37), Dunedin Blue Jays 0 (37-49) Box Score

  • LF Rowdey Jordan 3-for-3, 2B, RBI, R, .583/.600/.667
  • CF Alex Ramirez 2-for-3, 2B, R, .252/.323/.381
  • 1B JT Schwartz 1-for-3, RBI, .200/.200/.200

The Mets swept the double-header today as they win this rain shortened game in five innings.  The Mets got off to a 2-0 lead and did not look back.  Schwartz, the Mets fourth round pick in the 2021 MLB draft, had his first start Thursday night and picked up his first professional hit.  Ramirez stayed hot as he picked up three hits in two games today.  Jordan, the Mets 11th round pick in the 2021 MLB draft, picked up three hits in three at bats as he continues his hot start to his professional career.

  • RHP Luis Moreno (W, 3-3) 5 IP, H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K, 5.40 ERA

Moreno stepped up huge today as he threw a masterpiece.  Moreno would go the distance in a shortened five inning game and faced the minimum over five.  Moreno allowed a hit in the second inning and proceeded to retire every batter after that.  St. Lucie played twelve total innings today and had two starters go all twelve in a very successful double-header sweep.

FCL Mets 12, FCL Nationals 0 Box Score

Rudick, Mets 13th rounder in 2021, picked up his first two pro hits. Outfielder Carlos Dominguez hit his team leading seventh home run and knocked in three runs.

Colon has pitched well in six games for the FCL Mets after struggling to a 7.30 ERA for the St. Lucie Mets to begin the season.
