Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (8-8)

SYRACUSE 8, SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE 6 (BOX)

The good? Jonah Tong struck out 10 batters. The bad? He allowed six runs over 4.2 innings, scattering five hits, walking 3, and allowing 2 home runs. Normally, your starter allowing six runs would put you behind the 8-ball, but not these Syracuse Mets. Despite Tong not having his best, Syracuse did not actually trail at any point in this one, with the 5 spot that the RailRiders put up in the fifth merely tying the game, as the offense already hammered starter Brendan Beck for six runs. The tie did not last long, as Jose Rojas hit a two-run homer to give Syracuse a two-run edge, which they would maintain for the remainder of the contest. Speaking of homers, Hayden Senger launched two more, tying his career high (5) set in 2021 and matched in 2022/2023/2025. If these trends continue, he is still on pace to challenge Joe Bauman’s minor league single-season record of 72 homers, so let’s hope these trends continue!

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (5-4)

AKRON 8, BINGHAMTON 7 (BOX)

Binghamton was competitive early on, but a four-run sixth and one more in the seventh doomed them. The team rallied late, plating three runs in the seventh, three more in the eighth, and putting the tying run on base in the ninth, but they couldn’t get it done. AJ Ewing logged three more hits, including another double, and Chris Suero walked three times, but none of the other prospects on the team, hitting or pitching, had particularly noteworthy days.

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (3-6)

BROOKLYN 9, GREENSBORO 8 (BOX)

Brooklyn started the year off on the schneid, but with more games like this, maybe they’ll get into an early season groove. Of the eight games that the Cyclones have played prior to this contest, they scored one or fewer runs in five of them. While it isn’t great that their pitching allowed 8 runs in this one, it is nice to see the team pound out 9 runs on 11 hits and 7 walks. Mitch Voit logged a multi-hit effort, launching his first homer of the season, while Yohairo Cuevas and Daiverson Gutierrez both reached base four times, the former with a triple and three walks and the latter filling up the box score with two singles, a double, and a homer- Daiverson’s first of the year as well. Up by a run, Brett Banks allowed three runs in the top of the eighth, and things were looking grim, but Voit’s three-run homer made the difference and put the Cyclones back in the driver’s seat for the bottom of the inning, which Garrett Stratton threw without issue.

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (5-5)

ST. LUCIE 2, DAYTONA 0 (BOX)

Jose Chirinos, Christian Rodriguez, and Ryan Dollar combined to shutout the Tortugas, starting out this road trip on the right foot. Chirinos did most of the work, tossing five scoreless innings, but Rodriguez threw a decent amount himself, pitching three scoreless, and then Dollar locked it down in the ninth. St. Lucie’s first run came in the second on a AJ Salgado homer, and their second run came in seventh on an Elian Pena RBI single.
