Wilmer Reyes of the Brooklyn Cyclones headlines Saturday’s action by going 3-for-4 with a home run.

• Nick Plummer – CF: 1-2, BB
• Daniel Palka – 1B: 0-2, BB
• Carlos Cortes – LF: 0-1, BB

There are not many positive takeaways from the Syracuse offense in game one, as the team only got one hit and no runs in a shortened, seven-inning game. Nick Plummer got a single in this game and Cortes and Palka drew walks. Luckily, the Syracuse offense did perform better in the second game.

• Félix Peña (0-3, 8.00 ERA): 4.0 IP, 3 H, R, 2 K
• Tim Adleman (0-0, 0.00 ERA): 1.0 IP, K

Félix Peña got the start for the Mets and threw four innings with an unearned run on a fielding error by LF Carlos Cortes in the bottom of the first inning. Then, a scoreless inning by Tim Adleman was followed by Alex Claudio allowing a 2 RBI double to Josh Palacios in the bottom of the 6th inning that put the game out of reach for Syracuse.

AAA- Game 2: Syracuse Mets 4 (8-14), Rochester Red Wings (12-11) 2 BOX SCORE

• Wyatt Young – SS: 1-4, HR
• Travis Blankenhorn – 2B: 1-3, HR, 2 RBI
• Mark Vientos – 1B: 1-2, 2B, RBI, BB

The Mets bounced back in game two, kicked off by a first inning home run by Wyatt Young.

Mets prospect Wyatt Young has been incredible since skipping Double-A to play for Syracuse. He has .918 OPS.

• Rob Zastryzny (0-1, 3.07 ERA): 3.2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 4 K
• Antonio Santos (1-0, 4.32 ERA): 1.1 IP, H, BB

Zastryzny got the start for the Mets, pitching three and two-thirds innings and allowing two earned runs on a home run and RBI double in the bottom of the fourth inning. Santos relieved Zastryzny in the fourth inning and allowed zero earned runs, setting up Nogosek for the two inning save. Nogosek has pitched well so far for Syracuse with a 1.69 ERA and 0.66 WHIP.

The Rumble Ponies got four hits and drew five walks in Saturday’s game and scored one run on a forceout situation in the bottom of the second inning that scored Ronny Mauricio. Zach Ashford and Matt Winaker had doubles in the game, and Jake Mangum also got on base twice. But Binghamton needed a stronger offensive performance in this game to come out victorious.

• Mitch Ragan (0-1, 8.76 ERA): 4.0 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 5 K
• Justin Lasko (0-1, 9.92 ERA): 3.0 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, BB, 2 K
• Willy Taveras (0-2, 3.18 ERA): 2.0 IP, K

Mitch Ragan got the start, throwing four strong innings for Binghamton. But the decision fell on Justin Lasko, who allowed all three runs in the top of the seventh inning to get the loss for Saturday’s game. Taveras threw two scoreless innings and gave the offense a chance to comeback, but they were unable to capitalize on his perfect late-inning performance.
