Mets Daily Farm Report, July 6, 2014: Wilmer powers up for fifth in three days amidst two frightening line scores

*All results from games played on Saturday, July 5, 2014

Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (52–38)______________________________________

Game 1

LAS VEGAS 3, ALBUQUERQUE 11 (Box)

RHP Greg Peavey (credit: Gordon Donovan)

The Isotopes scored a quick five runs off of Greg Peavey in the bottom of the first inning and never looked back. Five more crossed in the bottom of the third and were added to Peavey's ledger, and this seven-inning game was pretty much out of reach. Wilmer Flores knocked in two with his ninth home run of the season, but other than that, the offense was pretty quiet. At least the 51s had a second game of the day to try to redeem themselves.

• CF Matt den Dekker: 1–3, R
• SS Matt Reynolds: 0–3
• 2B Wilmer Flores: 1–3, HR (9), 2 RBI, R
• RF Andrew Brown: 0–3, E (2)

Double-A - Binghamton Mets (51–36)______________________________________

Game 1

ERIE 2 , BINGHAMTON 0 (Box)

INF Rylan Sandoval (credit: Gordon Donovan)

The B-Mets were down to their last potential batter before they managed to put a runner on base by way of a hit. The SeaWolves' Tommy Collier watched what he believed to be the final out off the bat of Darrell Ceciliani skip off of right fielder Steven Moya's glove for Binghamton's lone hit of the night. Steven Matz was excellent in his own right, striking out seven and walking only one in his full seven innings of work, but on a night when his team was nearly no-hit, it was not enough.

• RF Kyle Johnson: 0–2, BB, CS (6)
• CF Brandon Nimmo: 0–2, BB, K
• 3B Brian Burgamy: 0–2, BB, K
• LF Dustin Lawley: 0–3, K

• LHP Steven Matz: 7 IP, 2 R (0 ER), 4 H, 1 BB, 7 K (L, 1–1)

Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (52–32)______________________________________

JUPITER 6, ST. LUCIE 7 (Box)

OF Gilbert Gomez (credit: Bryan Green)

It was a tight one, but the Mets managed to rack up their eighth win in a row on Saturday to take their season's record to 20 games over .500. St. Lucie looked to be in the driver's seat when Cam Maron swatted a two-run single off of Hammerheads' reliever Brad Mincey. But Brad Lugo, in relief of John Lannan, allowed four to cross in the top of the fifth to make it a one-run game. The bullpen held from there, and the Mets managed to hang on and hand Jake Kuebler his second win of the season. St. Lucie goes for the sweep today as they send Michael Fulmer to the bump to to take on Austin Brice and the Hammerheads at 1:00 ET.

• CF Gilbert Gomez: 1–3, 2 BB, K, CS (4)
• SS Phillip Evans: 0–3, R, 2 BB, 2 K
• 2B L.J. Mazzilli: 2–4, 2B, R, BB, E (3)

Low-A - Savannah Sand Gnats (57–26)______________________________________

SAVANNAH 2, HICKORY 1 (Box)

LHP Dario Alvarez (credit: Chris McShane)

Dario Alvarez was dominant on Saturday as he limited the Crawdads to just one run on three hits and a walk over five-and-one-third innings of eight-strikeout baseball. A cavalcade of relievers followed up to keep Hickory's bats in check, and Akeel Morris entered in the bottom of the ninth to finish it off with a three-strikeout save. The victory pushes the Sand Gnats' record to an eye-popping 31 games over .500. They will look to sweep the Crawdads today when they send Robert Gsellman to face off against Ricardo Rodriguez at 5:00 ET.

• CF Patrick Biondi: 1–5, K, CS (12)
• LF Champ Stuart: 1–2, K

Short-A - Brooklyn Cyclones (11–9)______________________________________

ABERDEEN 18, BROOKLYN 2 (Box)

3B Jhoan Urena (credit: Bryan Green)

The Cyclones' pitching staff melted down on Saturday with starter Casey Meisner taking the brunt of the punishment. If there's a bright spot, it's that the staff as a whole managed to punch out ten IronBird batters and they didn't give up a single home run in the midst of the mess. Too bad they yielded eight doubles. Brooklyn will look to avoid the sweep today at 1:00 ET.

• CF Tucker Tharp: 1–4, 2 K
• SS Amed Rosario: 0–1, BB, E (8)
