Rochester (70-68) 5, Syracuse (73-65) 3   Box Score

Nimmo and Lowrie both made progress on their rehab assignments, with Lowrie playing seven innings at second base. Nimmo is nearly ready and could be activated any day now, now that the rosters will be expanding. Lowrie is a bit further away, but for now is still looking on track to return sometime in September.

Espinosa homered, Colton Plaia doubled home a run, and Lowrie drove in a run of his own with a groundout, but the Mets fell short, 5-3.

  • RHP Chris Flexen (L, 5-3, 4.46 ERA): 1.1 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 0 BB, 2 K
  • RHP Eric Hanhold (3-3, 4.47 ERA): 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, BB, 2 K
  • RHP Tim Peterson (2-6, 2.83 ERA): 2.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, BB, 4 K
  • RHP Nick Rumbelow (0-0, 2.84 ERA): 1.2 IP, 5 H, R, 0 BB, 2 K

It was a rough end to the season for Flexen, who posted an 8.10 ERA in five August outings (four starts), allowing a .373 average. He posted a 4.46 ERA with Syracuse overall this season, allowing a .297 average being used as both a starter and reliever. His strikeouts were up though, with 92 in 78.2 innings, as he gained some velocity out of the bullpen. In his fourth appearance since joining the organization, Rumbelow had his shakiest outing yet.

Binghamton (66-72) 4, Hartford (72-65) 1   Box Score

Carpio has gone 3-for-hist-last-5 after going 1-for-14. Vasquez is 9-for-33 with four walks in 10 games since joining Binghamton, but with only one extra base hit. Thompson had a really bad August and has endured a tough season overall as he’s struggled to rebound from injury.

  • RHP Zach Lee (W, 5-1, 2.09 ERA): 7.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, BB, 6 K
  • RHP Joshua Torres (2-2, 7.45 ERA): 2.0 IP, 2 H, R, 0 BB, 3 K

The former top prospect Lee’s season has been flipped around since joining Binghamton. He posted a 2.09 ERA with a .208 opponents batting average in eight starts with the Rumble Ponies after struggling to the tune of a 6.99 ERA and .345 opponents batting average with Syracuse. Torres, still working to regain full strength after missing time due to injury, has allowed at least one run in four consecutive appearances.

Augusta (75-61) 5, Columbia (52-82) 4   Box Score

Hits have been hard to come by for Newton, he finished off the month of August with two singles. Vientos ended the month with a dry spell, but was still solid through July and August. Avant hit his third career home run and second of the season in the ninth inning, a two-run shot, but the Fireflies’ comeback attempt fell short as they lost 5-4.

  • RHP Jose Butto (L, 4-10, 3.62 ERA): 2.0 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, K
  • RHP Danny Hrbek (4-0, 3.12 ERA): 3.0 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 4 K
  • LHP Connor Wollersheim (0-0, 1.50 ERA): 3.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, BB, 4 K

Limiting Butto to two innings a start had been a recent theme for the righty, who allowed more than one run for the first time since July 25.

Brooklyn (41-32) 11, Staten Island (40-34) 2   Box Score

Cano played his first game with Brooklyn as he nears a relatively quick return to the Mets. He recorded two hits including a double, and played seven innings at second base. According to Josh Finkelstein of MMO, Cano said that he plans to return to the Mets lineup on Tuesday after playing one more game for the Cyclones on Monday.

The Cyclones blew out the Yankees, propelled by a seven-run seventh inning. Genord capped a rough month with a big day, smashing two extra base hits including his ninth home run of the year.

  • RHP Matt Allan (0-0, 9.00 ERA): 2.0 IP, 5 H, 2 R, BB, 3 K
  • RHP Dan Goggin (2-1, 2.81 ERA): 3.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, BB, 4 K
  • RHP Mitch Ragan (W, 3-2, 3.09 ERA): 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
  • RHP Reyson Santos (0-0, 0.00 ERA): 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, BB, 2 K
  • RHP Josh Hejka (1-0, 2.45 ERA): 1.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, K

Mets’ prized third-round pick Allan made his Brooklyn debut, allowing a run in each inning he pitched while striking out three and walking one. Between GCL and Brooklyn, he now has a 2.61 ERA with 14 strikeouts and five walks in 10.1 innings. Santos also made his Brooklyn debut, picking up where he left off with Kingsport with a scoreless inning. He has allowed just a .198 opponents average while striking out 30 in 23 innings this year.
