AAA - Buffalo Bisons (37-50)_______________________________________

BUFFALO 11, SYRACUSE 6 (Box)

Dylan Owen was very good fro the Herd tonight, limiting the Chiefs to a single hit in his six innings of work. Val Pascucci, Luis Figueroa, and Raul Chavez all registered three hit nights for Buffalo, while Luis Hernandez drove in five to lead the way for the suddenly explosive offense.

1B Nick Evans: 2-6, K, R (.323/.373/.477)
3B Zach Lutz: 0-3, 2 BB, K, 2 R (.313/.411/.521)
2B Michael Fisher: 0-1, R (.266/.335/.372)
RHP Dylan Owen: 6 IP, 1 H, 2 ER, 5 K, 2 BB, HR (59.1 IP, 58 H, 4.25 ERA, 52 K, 20 BB)

AA - Binghamton Mets (30-54)_____________________________________

PORTLAND 6, BINGHAMTON 3 (Box)

PORTLAND 15, BINGHAMTON 5 (Box)

This was about what you'd expect from Binghamton this year...play two, lose two. There were some really nice nights by a few B-Mets offensive players this evening, but the pitching just wasn't very good for them. Matt Den Dekker probably had his best game since being promoted from St. Lucie, and Allan Dykstra continues to not be Eddie Kunz.

IF Josh Satin: 4-6, HR, 2 2B, RBI, 2 R, BB, K (.319/.413/.430)
CF Matt Den Dekker: 3-5, 3B, 2 2B, 2 RBI,3 BB, 2 K (.213/.314/.328)
1B Allan Dykstra: 2-5, HR, 2 RBI, R, 2 BB, 2 K (.273/.402/.479)
SS Jordany Valdespin: 2-8, HR, 2 RBI, R, K, CS (.300/.344/.473)
RHP Colin McHugh: 5 IP, 3 H, 4 ER (5 R), 6 K, 3 BB

Hi-A St. Lucie Mets (7-4)________________________________________

ST. LUCIE 9, FORT MYERS 2 (Box)

Armando Rodriguez had a solid outing, and the Mets exploded for five in the seventh inning to put the game out of reach for the Miracle. Juan Lagares played center in this one, and led the way with a bases loaded triple in the seventh that all but sealed it. If only he'd get his walk rate up a little, he'd finally be looking like a really good prospect.

CF Juan Lagares: 2-3, 3B, 2 BB, 3 RBI, 2 R (.348/.396/.484)
RF Cory Vaughn: 1-5, R (.333/.444/.600)
3B Jefry Marte: 2-4, 2 2B, 2 RBI (.79/.343/.398)
SS Wilmer Flores: 2-5, RBI, R (.278/.322/.377)
C Francisco Pena: 0-4 (.202/.259/.306)
RHP Armando Rodriguez: 5.1 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 4 K, 2 BB (33 IP, 2.45 ERA, 37 K, 14 BB)

Lo-A Savannah Sand Gnats (12-1)__________________________________

SAVANNNAH 1, ROME 0 (Box)

Savannah used an excellent outing by both Ryan Fraser and the bullpen to seal it's eleventh straight win. After winning the first half crown and clinching a playoff berth, Savannah doesn't seem to be showing too many signs of slowing down. The win brings them to twenty games over .500 for the entire year.

CF Darrell Ceciliani: 1-4 (.244/.340/.353)
3B Aderlin Rodriguez: 0-3, BB, K (.223/.272/.368)
2B Wilfredo Tovar: 0-3, BB (.234/.295/.289)
C Albert Cordero: 1-4, R (.230/.283/.296)
RHP Ryan Fraser: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 7 K, 4 BB (90 IP. 3.30 ERA, 56 K, 37 BB)

Short Season A- Brooklyn Cyclones (11-8)_______________________________________

STATEN ISLAND 6, BROOKLYN 5 (Box)

We went to extras again in this one, with Staten Island needing eleven to get by Brooklyn. A Jeremy Gould wild pitch allowed the winning run to finally cross the plate for the Yankees, dropping the Cyclones to 4.5 games out of first again.

RF Javier Rodriguez: 2-6, HR, RBI, R
3B Brian Harrison: 1-2, 2B, 2 BB, 2 R
SS Ismael Tijerina: 1-5, BB, K, R
C Nelfi Zapata: 1-2, RBI
LHP Chris Hillard: 5.2 IP, 8 H, 3 ER (4 R), 2 K, 3 BB

Applachian League (R)- Kingsport Mets (7-8)_______________________________________

ELIZABETHTON 6, KINGSPORT 4 (Box)

Akeel Morris had a promising outing for Kingsport, striking out nine in his five innings of work and leaving with the game tied at four. Mark Pinna allowed a pair of runs to cross in the ninth to put Kingsport behind, and they couldn't manage to rally after that. Camden Maron had another nice night at the plate...it's good to see some of the catchers at the lower levels showing some real promise.

C Camden Maron: 2-3, HR, BB, K, 3 RBI, R
LF Julio Concepcion: 1-4
OF Gregory Pron: 2-3, BB, R
C Jeffrey Glenn: 0-4, 2 K
RHP Akeel Morris: 5 IP, 4 H, 3 ER (4 R), 9 K, 2 BB, HR

Gulf Coast League (R)- GCL Mets (8-4)_______________________________________

GCL METS 7, GCL NATIONALS 5 (Box)

The Mets jumped all over Nats starter Brandon King early, scoring 7 times off of him in his 2.2 innings of work. The bats went mostly quiet from that point on, but it was enough run support for the pitching staff in this one.

CF Eudy Pina: 0-3, K, R
C Jeyckol De Leon: 0-4, RBI, K
RF Gilbert Gomez: 2-4, 2 RBI
1B Ryan Hutson: 0-3, BB, R
SS Randoll Santana: 1-4, HR, K, RBI, R
LHP Alberto Baldonado: 4.1 IP, 7 H, 4 ER( 5 R), 3 K, 2 BB, HR

★ Star of the Night ★

Quite a few candidates tonight, but I'm going to go with Binghamton center fielder Matt Den Dekker. He had a solid pair of games, compiling three extra base hits and a trio of walks as well. Honorable mention to Juan Lagares tonight.

Goat of the Night

I have to go with Ricky Brooks here. He came into a game Binghamton was tied in and simply opened the floodgates by allowing seven runs to cross the plate in the sixth. That more or less set the tone for the double header double loss.

Josh Satin for Hero of the Night

Finestkind. Accept no substitutes.

by Curtis3331 on Jul 6, 2011 7:41 AM EDT reply actions

about him, he is actually slugging .530 not .430

he is on pace for 40 2Bs and 20 HRs, nice! Probably also about 140 k’s (eek) but the 80-90 walks he should take are a plus

I LIKE IKE!

that guy really needs to be in AAA or get traded to another team

So does Harvey pitch tonight?

Or did he get hurt and I did not realize it?

Josh Edgin

2 more scoreless innings in relief. Does the 24 year old reliever get another promotion soon? He’s been lights out all year.

Silver lining?

4:2 K/BB, HBP, 0 HR

That can’t be all the defense fault, but how many of those were hit hard and how many were bobbled by the fielders?

In lobby for: Jaime Cevallos, Zack Lutz, orange unis and Rickroll as the 7th inning song.

yep

sorry guys but don’t worry, we’ll run another later this summer

Wow!

Jefry Marte is getting hits in 79% of his at-bats and it’s July. Amazing.

by Evan_S on Jul 6, 2011 12:04 PM EDT reply actions

He's also invented the zero base hit

Which allows him to slug half of his batting average.

by Balagast on Jul 6, 2011 12:38 PM EDT up reply actions

Any idea when Captain Kirk might return?

He’s been out around a month already. Hopefully he’ll be back before the season ends.

by graves9 on Jul 6, 2011 1:06 PM EDT via mobile reply actions

came here for that very reason, sadly

Buffalo center fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis (.298, 6 HR, 14 RBI), already out a month with a strain of his left, non-throwing shoulder, is not making progress and may be forced to decide soon between rehab and surgery. Nieuwenhuis struggles to lift his shoulder during everyday activities and is unable to swing a bat.

also, this

Left-hander Steve Matz, the organization’s top pick (second round) two years ago, is home on Long Island. Matz, who had Tommy John surgery in May 2010, has halted throwing for the time being. He is expected to return to the Mets’ Port St. Lucie, Fla., complex in a week to 10 days. After being examined by Mets doctor David Altchek following elbow discomfort, Matz sought a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews. Wogan suggested neither doctor has any concern. Instead, the farm director said, the throwing interruption is a reminder that despite some pitchers returning as quickly as 11 months after Tommy John surgery, the length of recovery can be as long as 18 months, and that Matz fits into the category of a longer recovery time.

I LIKE IKE!

by astromets on Jul 6, 2011 7:31 PM EDT up reply actions

Ugh.

The organization’s injury issues are trickling down to the minors now. Mejia, Nieuwenhuis, Matz, etc etc.

This sucks.

Oh my Den Dekker?

Someone put on the right pair of clogs last night. Clicking the “continue” link to look at MDD was sort of like opening the thin envelope from a top college. You sort of knew you were not getting good news. . . . not that people on this site would EVER have been rejected by any institution of higher learning. . . . .

Well, Stanford, but I was accepted by Jefferson Community College.

Funny and possibly apocryphal story: Willie Randolph was accepted at JCC the same year I was, then he wrote asking what sort of financial package they were offering. The response? “We’re an open-admission community college; we don’t give out athletic scholarships.” Sadly, Willie decided to try his luck elsewhere….
