AAA: Doubleheader Game 1: Rochester Red Wings (41-53) 7, Syracuse Mets (37-58) 1

Box Score

Syracuse’s offense struggled, managing only four hits and two extra base hits in their Game 1 loss to Rochester.

Jose Martinez continued his rehab assignment, going 0-for-3 with three groundouts. He also played all seven innings defensively in right field and threw a runner out at the plate who was trying to score on what would have been a sacrifice fly.

Lee pinch hit with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning and grounded into a game ending double play. It was his sixth double play of the season.

Lagrange got the start and drove in Syracuse’s only run with a fly ball double to center field in the bottom of the seventh inning. It was his twelfth double and second since being promoted to Triple-A.

The game was scoreless until the top of the fourth inning, when Worley gave up two runs and then two more in the fifth.

After Bradley Roney threw a scoreless sixth inning, Diaz came in to start the seventh and gave up a three run home run to Nationals catching prospect Keibert Ruiz. It was Ruiz’ second home run of the game.

AA: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (44-51) 7, New Hampshire Fisher Cats (45-48) 5

Box Score

Binghamton’s balanced offensive showing was enough to stave off several Fisher Cats comeback attempts as they won a close game in New Hampshire.

After hitting his eighth home run of the year on Tuesday, Mangum hit his ninth on Wednesday on a fly ball to right field. It came as a left-handed hitter. He also made a full-extension diving catch in the left-center gap that saved an extra base hit.

Cortes had another strong game. His 26th double of the season was a fly ball to left field that drove in two runs. He also had an RBI single on a groundball to center field.

Joe Zanghi, threw two scoreless innings in relief of Beggs, Thomas McIlraith gave up two runs in the eighth inning, and Robinson got his fourth save with a scoreless ninth.
