The Syracuse Mets were shutout on Saturday night, even though the team had 11 base-runners on seven hits and four walks. Khalil Lee was on-base three times with a double, a single and a walk. Wilfredo Tovar also had a couple of hits in the game. Syracuse will look to score more runs today against Worcester at 1:05 PM Sunday.

Adam Oller had a strong start. His one hiccup occurred in the second inning when he allowed a two-run home run to Jeter Downs of the Worcester Red Sox.
