Mets Daily Prospect Report, 7/3/15: Gabriel Ynoa throws a one-hit shutout

*All results from games played on Thursday, July 2, 2015

Before delving into the minor league report, we'd be doing you a disservice if we didn't link to Jeff's interview with Paul DePodesta on the podcast, which you can listen to here.

Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (46-35)_______________________________________

LAS VEGAS 12, TACOMA 2 (Box)

The 51s scored five runs—three on a Kirk Nieuwenhuis home run—in the top of the first inning to jump out to a lead they never came close to relinquishing. They tacked on two more runs in the third and another pair in the fourth, and Tacoma did not score until the sixth inning, when they scored twice. Vegas added three runs in the top of the ninth to turn make the game even more of a blowout. Matt Reynolds continued to DH missed a few games last week. And Darin Gorski had one of his better starts this year while Jenrry Mejia had another good outing as he prepares to return the Mets next week.

Double-A - Binghamton Mets (39-38)_____________________________________

BINGHAMTON 5, ERIE 0 (Box)

Like the 51s, the B-Mets got off to a fast start at the plate, scoring one run in the first and four runs in the second. Oh, and Gabriel Ynoa threw a one-hit shutout without walking anyone for his best start in Double-A, which probably makes it his best start yet as a professional.

Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (39-39 / 4-4)_____________________________________

JUPITER 10, ST. LUCIE 4 (Box)

This was an ugly one, though the Mets led 2-1 after the first inning. But the Hammerheads scored twice in the third and fourth innings, three times in the fifth, and twice more in the sixth to run away with it.

Low-A - Savannah Sand Gnats (40-36/ 1-5)__________________________________

POSTPONED (RAIN)

SS-A - Brooklyn Cyclones (9-4)_______________________________________

BROOKLYN 2, HUDSON VALLEY 1 (Box)

Brooklyn hosted Hudson Valley and trailed 1-0 in the seventh inning when Alfredo Reyes singled to plate a pair of runs to put them in the lead. That was all they would need, as they held on to win 2-1.

Rookie - Kingsport Mets (5-5)__________________________

BURLINGTON 6, KINGSPORT 4 (Box)

Kingsport got out to a 3-0 lead with two runs in the first and one in the second, but starting pitcher Darwin Ramos gave up four runs in the bottom of the second on a double, a wild pitch, and a single. Kingsport tied the game in the fifth, but Mets pitcher Nabil Crismatt gave up a couple of runs in the eighth. Patrick Mazeika had quite a night, though.

• LF Raphael Ramirez: 0-2, 1 K
  
• SS Luis Carpio: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B
• 1B Patrick Mazeika: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI

Rookie - GCL Mets (5-4)__________________________

GCL METS 2, GCL NATIONALS 0 (Box)

The GCL Mets have won three straight to get over .500 on the season. They did so yesterday thanks to six innings of shutout work for Ronald Guedez and rib-eye steaks from Ali Sanchez, whose season is off to quite a start, and Jose Miguel Medina.

• CF Ricardo Cespedes: 2-4, 1 R
  
• C Ali Sanchez: 3-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K
