Buffalo Bisons 10 (41-25), Syracuse Mets 4 (23-45) Box Score

Syracuse lost tonight as they were ahead 4-3 going into the bottom of the eighth. Syracuse hit the ball well with RISP going 3-for-5 and Drury was a big part of that with his two out two RBI single.  Patrick Mazeika had a scheduled night off tonight as Cervenka got the start and provided an RBI of his own.  The pitching was not bad tonight as they had only allowed three runs until the eighth and looked like Syracuse may squeak out a win.  The Syracuse pitching gave up a lot of hits tonight, but did a good job at limiting the damage all night.

Tom Windle and Bradley Roney combined to allow seven runs in the eighth inning.

Binghamton Rumble Ponies 6 (25-40), Erie SeaWolves 4 (38-30) Box Score

The Rumble Ponies won today as Cortes continued hitting the ball well as he blasted a home run off the scoreboard in right. Cortes now has homered in two of his last three games to make it 12 homers on the season. First baseman David Rodriguez hit a grand slam to break the game open giving the Rumble Ponies a 5-2 lead in the fourth.

Mark Vientos had the night off.

  • RHP Dustin Beggs 5.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 5.29 ERA
  • RHP Connor Grey 3 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, BB, 6 K, 3.60 ERA

The pitching for Binghamton was good as their starter Beggs went 5 1/3 innings and picked up the win. Grey threw three innings and was great as six out of the nine outs he got were strikeouts. Eric Orze picked up his first Double-A save by getting the final two outs.

Brooklyn Cyclones 10 (25-42), Wilmington Blue Rocks 2 (29-40) Box Score

Duplantis crushed the ball on Thursday night and picked up four hits of his own including a home run down the right field line. Mauricio continues his tear as he picks up his eighth multi-hit game in his last ten games. He continues to add onto his career-high home run total crushing his 11th of the season, this one from the left side to right center. The ball went 408 feet and he also doubled earlier in the game from the right side of the plate.

Alvarez picked up a hit tonight and even added his fourth stolen base of the season which led to a run.

  • RHP Justin Lasko 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8 K, 2.89 ERA

The pitching staff tonight was great as Lasko went seven innings allowing only two hits and no runs. Lasko has been a pleasant surprise for the Mets as he now lowers his ERA to a 2.89.  He picked up eight strikeouts tonight with two walks as well picking up his third win on the season.

St Lucie Mets 6 (37-32), Bradenton Marauders 5 (42-26) Box Score

  • 3B Jaylen Palmer 2-for-5, 2B, 3 R, 2 SO, .284/.381/.394
  • RF Alex Ramirez 2-for-5, 3 RBI, SO, .256/.326/.372
  • 2B Jose Peroza 1-for-3, R, 2 BB, .269/.416/.404

St. Lucie won in a crazy game that lasted 10 innings. The Mets were trailing by four going to the ninth, but they came back to tie it to force extras. Ramirez had the game-winning hit in the 10th with a single up the middle. It was was his second hit of the night and third RBI.

Palmer’s good game brought his July OPS to an impressive .963 in 17 games. He has seven stolen bases in that span as well.

The Mets bullpen really stepped up as they allowed only one run after the fifth inning and got out of a bases loaded one out jam in the top of the 10th, which led to St. Lucie walking it off in the bottom half.

Tavarez had his fastball consistently sitting at 97 mph on the night. Reyson Santos tossed a scoreless 10th inning with two strikeouts to pick up his third win of the season.
