Buffalo (58-54) 9, Syracuse (56-56) 7   Box Score

Alcantara recorded his second consecutive multi-hit game in which he also hit a triple. Dilson Herrera continued his solid season with a two-run homer, and was pulled from the game, signaling that a possible promotion may be in his future. Ali Sanchez replaced his spot in the lineup and went 1-2; he is now 3-8 since his promotion to Syracuse.

  • RHP Zach Lee (L, 4-3, 6.99 ERA): 3.0 IP, 11 H, 5 R, 0 BB, 3 K
  • RHP Chris Flexen (5-2, 4.07 ERA): 1.0 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 2 K
  • RHP Brooks Pounders (2-2, 3.78 ERA): 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, K
  • RHP Paul Sewald (3-3, 3.61 ERA): 1.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
  • LHP Ryan O’Rourke (2-3, 3.40 ERA): 1.0 IP, H, R, 0 ER, BB, K

Lee gave up five runs in his second straight start, his last one occurring with Binghamton as his struggles continued. Flexen now has a 5.93 ERA in 12 games as a reliever in Triple-A this season, compared to a 3.59 ERA in 10 starts.

Akron (50-62) 3, Binghamton (57-53) 0   Box Score

The Rumble Ponies got shut out, going 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position. They collected only six hits, all singles by six different hitters. Gimenez is just 1-for-9 in August after finishing up his big July in which he posted an .837 OPS.

Peterson made a solid return from the injured list, being limited to only 44 pitches. Ramos gave up two runs in two innings in his Double-A debut, while Villines continued his Double-A domination.

Daytona (55-54) 4, St. Lucie (60-50) 3   Box Score

Despite an RBI triple from Jacob Zanon in the first inning, and a go-ahead two-run homer in the fourth, the Mets couldn’t come up with enough to win as they did not record a hit after the fourth inning. Rodriguez has been hot his last three games, going 5-for-9 with a homer, two doubles, and two walks.

  • RHP Luc Rennie (L, 6-5, 4.00 ERA): 6.0 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 3 ER, BB, 5 K
  • RHP Marcel Renteria (1-2, 4.02 ERA): 2.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K

Rennie had another solid start for St. Lucie, where he has fared much better compared to his three starts with Binghamton. Renteria has turned his struggles around, now having allowed only one earned run over his last 17.2 innings.

Columbia’s game was suspended in the bottom of the seventh with the game tied 2-2. The game will resume at 2:05 ET on Sunday.   Box Score

Williamsport (18-29) 4, Brooklyn (26-21) 3   Box Score

Ritter hit an RBI double in the fourth and came in on an error, and Jake Mangum drew a bases loaded walk in the eighth, but the Cyclones fell short, 4-3. Taylor has gotten off to a nice start in his first three games since being promoted to Brooklyn, going 4-for-12 with a triple.

  • RHP Nathan Jones (0-0, 0.00 ERA): 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, BB, K
  • RHP Corey Gaconi (2-1, 3.60 ERA): 4.0 IP, 4 H, R, 0 BB, 4 K
  • RHP Nelson Leon (1-0, 0.82 ERA): 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
  • RHP Luis Silva (L, 1-2, 6.60 ERA): 0.1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 BB, K
  • RHP Brian Metoyer (2-2, 5.73 ERA): 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

In his first two professional appearances, Jones has now pitched three hitless innings with six strikeouts. Despite struggling with Columbia, Leon has thrived since his demotion to Brooklyn, as he looks to get back up there soon.

Kingsport (20-23) 5, Burlington (24-20) 4   Box Score

Alvarez extended his hitting streak to 14 games with his second consecutive multi-hit game. He reached base all four times in the win, and now has a 1.073 OPS in 24 games this season. Tanner Murphy also helped out with a solo homer in the second inning.

  • RHP Andres German (0-1, 5.63 ERA): 4.0 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
  • LHP Connor Wollersheim (0-0, 0.00 ERA): 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, K
  • RHP Nate Peden (W, 1-3, 6.16 ERA): 2.0 IP, 2 H, R, BB, K
  • RHP Josh Hejka (0-0, 0.00 ERA): 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

German threw a season-high 70 pitches, passing his previous high of 45. Wollersheim had his second straight scoreless outing to start his professional career, while Hejka has pitched 9.2 scoreless innings with 11 strikeouts and two walks to being his professional career.

DSL Nationals (15-33) 9, DSL Mets1 (24-23) 8   Box Score

Down 9-4 in the ninth, the Mets1’s comeback attempt fell just short. Four players each collected two hits in the loss.

  • RHP Luis Silverio (L, 1-1, 13.50 ERA): 2.0 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 3 BB, K
  • RHP Edward Sosa (0-2, 4.80 ERA): 4.0 IP, H, 0 R, BB, 0 K
  • RHP Onil Lozano (2-0, 8.31 ERA): 1.0 IP, 3 H, 3 R, BB, 0 K
  • LHP Mauricio Lezama (0-1, 10.29 ERA): 1.0 IP, 0 H, R, 0 ER, BB, K

Silverio’s severe control problems continued to plague him, with three more walks in Saturday’s outing. Sosa pitched four strong scoreless innings in long relief despite not striking out a batter.

DSL Cardinals Red (20-34) 16, DSL Mets2 (25-29) 3   Box Score

Despite the loss, all nine players in the starting lineup recorded at least one hit for the Mets2. They scored all three of their runs in the second inning, helped out with a triple by Samuel Marte and a double by Wilker Velasquez.

  • RHP Ronny Rincones (1-0, 1.55 ERA): 5.0 IP, 4 H, 0 R, BB, 7 K
  • RHP Melvin Arteaga (L, 2-2, 5.50 ERA): 2.1 IP, 3 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
  • RHP Eiker Huize (5-3, 5.14 ERA): 0.1 IP, 3 H, 6 R, 3 BB, K
  • RHP Martin Rodriguez (3-2, 6.59 ERA): 1.0 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 4 ER, BB, K
  • RHP Moises Gonzalez (0-0, 0.00 ERA): 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, K

Rincones had the best performance of his very young professional career, striking out seven and walking only one over five scoreless innings. The bullpen was ambushed however, as the Mets2 had to call on outfielder Gonzalez to get the final out, and Gonzalez struck out the only batter he faced.
