Mets Daily Prospect Report, 5/1/26: Wenninger ways

GAME 2: SYRACUSE 4, LEHIGH VALLEY 3 (BOX)

Not to be outdone by his own performance in the first game of the doubleheader, A.J. Ewing picked up two more hits in the second game and score a run. He’s hitting .583 with a 1.448 OPS since his recent promotion to Triple-A. This game was much closer than the first one, but the team scored just enough runs to outpace the runs allowed by its pitching staff in a bullpen game.

BINGHAMTON 6, NEW HAMPSHIRE 3 (BOX)

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (6-17)

BROOKLYN 2, FREDERICK 1 (BOX)

After five scoreless innings from Cyclones starter Irving Cota, Brooklyn gave up a run in the top of the sixth, but an RBI double from Kevin Villavicencio tied the game in the bottom of the seventh. In the bottom of the eighth, shortstop Antonio Jimenez manufactured a run as he singled, advanced to second on a wild pitch, advanced to third on a ground out, and scored when Frederick tried to catch him off third base, prompting him to break for home plate and score what wound up being the game-deciding run in the process.

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (10-14)

TAMPA 8, ST. LUCIE 5 (BOX)

R.J. Gordon, who had a solid season last year in Brooklyn and Binghamton, is working his way back from a lat injury and got roughed up in this one. He has a 43.20 ERA in Single-A through two appearances that have seen him throw just one-and-two-thirds innings in total.

At the plate, Elian Peña continued to impress, and with his two-hit night, he has a .353 average and a .949 OPS to start his first stateside season. He wasn’t the only St. Lucie Met with a multi-hit night, as Randy Guzman and AJ Salgado each hit a home run on a two-hit night, and Sam Robertson had a three-hit night with a stolen base.

• SS Elian Peña: 2-4, 2 R, K, SB
• LF JT Benson: 0-4, RBI, K
• 1B Randy Guzman: 2-3, R, HR, RBI, 2 BB
