Sunday's Bison game was postponed, so we'll begin with AA
AA - Binghamton Mets (47-68)_____________________________________
BINGHAMTON 7, READING 4 (Box)
Every time the Phillies scored a run the Mets immediately responded in their next turn at bat. That's a good recipe for success at any level, and it allowed the Mets to take 2 out of 3 in this series. Jeurys Familia got roughed up a bit, but not walking anyone allowed him to limit the damage done to a reasonable level. The eight hits he allowed were a season high, and most of his balls in play were flyballs today. Juan Lagares and Jordany Valdespin continued to impress for the offense, both have raised their stock by a good margin this season.
- 2B Reese Havens: 0-3, 2 BB, K
- 3B Eric Campbell: 0-1, R
- CF Matt Den Dekker: 1-2, 2B
- 1B Allan Dykstra: 0-2, 2 BB, 2 K
- SS Jordany Valdespin: 2-4, BB, RBI, 2 R, SB (33)
- LF Juan Lagares: 3-4, 3 RBI, R - Now batting .414 in double A
- RHP Jeurys Familia: 4 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 2 K, 2 HR
- RHP Josh Stinson: IP, K
Hi-A St. Lucie Mets (22-21)________________________________________
ST. LUCIE 5, CHARLOTTE 2 (Box)
Zack Wheeler looked really good. He was in total control of this one from the start, allowing only 4 runners to reach base. Only 2 of the 8 balls put into play against him weren't grounders, so it's good to see he's still inducing them with his mechanical changes. Cory Vaughn had a great game as well, he continues to do a bunch of little things well even though his power looks down this season.
- RF Cory Vaughn: 2-2, RBI, BB
- 3B Jefry Marte: 1-3, BB, R
- SS Wilmer Flores: 0-4, BB
- RF Cesar Puello: 0-4, RBI, 3 K
- LF Pedro Zapata: 2-5, RBI, R, SB (30)
- C Francisco Pena: 2-4, 2B, 2 RBI, R
- RHP Zack Wheeler: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 7 K, 0 BB - Since his mechanical adjustment he's thrown 21.1 innings and only walked two batters while continuing to strike out over a batter per inning... #BlameBeltran
Lo-A Savannah Sand Gnats (28-15)__________________________________
SAVANNNAH 7, CHARLESTON 3 (Box)
Savannah's catching tandem did a very nice job with runners in scoring position today, as both had exceptional games. The offense they provided was more than enough for the pitching combination of Goeddel and Almonte who had a very solid 8 innings of combined work.
- CF Darrell Ceciliani: 2-4, K, R, SB (17)
- 3B Aderlin Rodriguez: 1-5
- 2B Wilfredo Tovar: 1-4, RBI, R
- C Blake Forsythe: 1-3, 2 BB, RBI, R
- C Albert Cordero: 3-5, 2B, HR, 3 RBI, R
- RHP Erik Goeddel: 4 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, K, BB
- RHP Yohan Almonte: 4 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 5 K, 0 BB
Short Season A- Brooklyn Cyclones (27-23)_______________________________________
BROOKLYN 10, STATEN ISLAND 2 (Box)
The Brooklyn offense was fantastic in this one, exploding for ten runs against the league leading Yankees. Javier Rodriguez was exceptional today, and Danny Muno and Chase Greene had solid performances as well.
- SS Danny Muno: 2-5, 2B, 3 RBI, R
- RF Javier Rodriguez: 2-5, 2B, HR, K, 4 RBI, 2 R
- 3B Brian Harrison: 1-3, BB, RBI
- CF Travis Taijeron: 1-5, K, RBI
- OF Chase Greene: 2-3, 2B, 2 BB, K, 2 R
- C Camden Maron: 1-4, BB, K, RBI, R
- SS Juan Carlos Gamboa: 2-5, HR, K, 2 RBI, R
- LF Julio Concepcion: 1-4, K
- OF Gregory Pron: 2-5, 2 K, 2 RBI
- C Jeffrey Glenn: 0-4, 2 K
- CF Eudy Pina: 2-5, 2 K, R
- SS Chin-Lung Hu: 1-3, 2 K - I guess he's still with the organization
- RF Gilbert Gomez: 1-5
- 1B Ryan Hutson: 2-5, K
