Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (24-19)__________________________________
NASHVILLE 7, LAS VEGAS 4 (Box)
Nashville scored twice in the first inning against Vegas starter Gabriel Ynoa, who gave up four runs in six innings in total. That's not the end of the world for a start in the Pacific Coast League, and Ynoa still have a 2.50 ERA so far this season. The team never came back all the way, but this game was the Brandon Nimmo show. The outfielder went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a triple, and two runs scored. He's now up to .305/.374/.455 after a very slow start to the season. At the end of April, his line was just .260/.333/.315.
Double-A - Binghamton Mets (18-24)____________________________
BINGHAMTON 2, RICHMOND 1 (Box)
If the 51s' game was the Nimmo show, it was the Mickey Jannis show in Binghamton. The knuckleballer threw seven innings with eight strikeouts, no walks, and just three hits allowed. The Mets scored just twice, as both Matt Oberste and Dominic Smith went 2-for-4 with a double. But the bullpen gave up only one run in two innings, and the B-Mets held on to win the game.
Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (23-20)_______________________________
ST. LUCIE 2, DAYTONA 1 (Box)
St. Lucie gave up a run in the third and didn't score until the seventh, but they got one run that inning and another in the eighth to complete a comeback win. Ricky Knapp turned in his second-straight great start, and Wuilmer Becerra continued to tear up the competition with a couple of doubles and a single. Knapp, who turned 24 the other day, has a 1.64 ERA in eight starts for St. Lucie. Becerra, who is 21, is now hitting .369/.400/.446 on the season.
