The Syracuse lineup combined for only three hits on Tuesday. Almora had one, a solo home run in the seventh. With two out in the eighth inning, Cheslor Cuthbert walked and Orlando Calixte singled, but a Mason WIlliams groundout ended the Syracuse scoring threat.

Carrasco, making the second appearance of his rehab assignment as he recovers from a torn hamstring, struggled in 1.2 innings on Tuesday. The 34-year-old gave up a solo home run in the first inning, then issued two leadoff walks to start the second. After a mound visit, Carrasco surrendered back-to-back Buffalo home runs. Reyes entered in relief and did the heavy lifting, allowing five more runs over 5 ⅓ innings. 

AA: Erie SeaWolves (38-29) 12, Binghamton Rumble Ponies 7 (24-40) BOX SCORE

• Brett Baty LF: 0-3, R, 2 BB, 2 K, .294/.383/.480

Binghamton did not score through the first four innings on Tuesday night, then a solo home run by DH Wagner Lagrange in the fifth inning got the Rumble Ponies on the board. In the sixth, Cortes slugged a three-run home run, his 11th of the year. Vientos and Baty both walked and later came around to score. Vientos, playing third base, reached base three times, and Baty, appearing in left field, reached base twice.

In the eighth, three Mets walked to load the bases, then they came around to score after a wild pitch, a single, and an error.
