*All results from games played on Friday, July 31, 2015

Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (59-48)_______________________________________

SACRAMENTO 5, LAS VEGAS 1 (Box)

The 51s' bats went quiet and where unable to compensate for a poor start from Logan Verrett, who gave up four runs in four innings. Dilson Herrera had two walks and two strikeouts, while Brandon Nimmo went 0-for-4 with a strikeout. It's way too early to judge Nimmo in Triple-A, but he's off to an inauspicious start in his first three games at the level. More annoying is the fact that he's losing time in center field to Darrell Ceciliani, but hey, Wally's gonna Wally. Hopefully he doesn't break any more pitchers.

Double-A - Binghamton Mets (58-47)_____________________________________

RICHMOND 6, BINGHAMTON 1(Box)

Seth Lugo got hammered for for five-and-two-thirds innings, giving up nine hits, three walks, and six runs. The Binghamton offense was silent aside from a Xorge Carillo RBI in the second. Gavin Cecchini had his hot streak snapped, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (38-37 / 14-15)_____________________________________

GAME 1: CLEARWATER 4, ST. LUCIE 3 / 7(Box)

A Jhoan Urena fielder error cost St. Lucie starer Miller Diaz two runs that proved to be the difference in the game. The Mets rallied in the bottom of the seventh, but Yeixon Ruiz popped out with the tying run at second base.

GAME 2: ST. LUCIE 6, CLEARWATER 2 / 7 (Box)

In the continuation of their game from 7/30, St. Lucie had a six run third capped by a Matt Oberste three run home run. That was enough for starter Logan Taylor, who went five-and-a-third innings for the win.

Low-A - Savannah Sand Gnats (40-34 / 16-13)__________________________________

SAVANNAH 8, ASHEVILLE 3 (Box)

Savannah broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh with a five run inning, which included a double from Wuimer Becerra and a triple from John Mora. Luis Mateo had pitched another clean inning with a strikeout.

SS-A - Brooklyn Cyclones (22-17)_______________________________________

BROOKLYN 3, BATAVIA 1 (Box)

Brooklyn got a two out, two run single from Manuel Hilario in the bottom of the second inning. That was all the offensive support Cyclones pitchers would need, as they held the lead for Brooklyn's 22nd victory. Vincent Siena and Davis Thompson both went hitless.

Rookie - Kingsport Mets (18-19)__________________________

GREENEVILLE 4, KINGSPORT 3 (Box)

Kingsport reliever Yoryi Nuez coughed up a 3-2 lead in the eighth, and Seth Davis gave up a walkoff win to Greeneville in the tenth inning. Milton Ramos went hitless and committed his fourth error on a throw.

Rookie - GCL Mets (20-14)__________________________

GCL METS 5, GCL CARDINALS 2 (Box)

Ricardo Cespedes led the way with a three hit day as the Mets downed the Cardinals. Second rounder Desmond Lindsay played center field and went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a strikeout. He's off to a hot start in his first four games, batting .385 with a .928 OPS. The double was his first extra-base hit.

DSL - DSL Mets1 (26-27)__________________________

DSL MARINERS1 9, DSL METS1 0 (Box)

DSL - DSL Mets2 (33-20)__________________________

DSL METS2 6, DSL BREWERS 0 (Box)
