Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (5-5)_______________________________________

FRESNO 4, LAS VEGAS 3 (Box)

The  51s dropped to .500 with a loss to Fresno. Starter Stolmy Pimentel was mediocre over his five-and-two-thirds innings, surrendering a mammoth home run to top Astros prospect A.J. Reed in the first that put the 51s down early. Pinch hitter Ty Kelly led of the ninth with a single, but then Wally pulled a Wally and asked Dilson Herrera, probably his best hitter, to bunt. Herrera bunted into a double play, and Fresno escaped the threat with a win.

Double-A - Binghamton Mets (5-4)_____________________________________

AKRON 4, BINGHAMTON 1 (Box)

Rainy Lara surrendered a first inning run, but settled in after that to hold Akron in check for the next five innings. In the top of the seventh, Binghamton tied the game on a home run from Dominic Smith—hit to right-center, so he actually pulled it—to tie the game. Lara was out of gas, however, and allowed two baserunners in the bottom of the inning before departing for Luis Mateo, who promptly allowed a two-run triple to put Akron up for good.

• 3B Derrik Gibson: 1-3, BB, K

Wuilmer Becerra had two singles and another walk, Luis Guillorme had two singles, and Amed Rosario had a triple. Even Champ Stuart got in on the action, going 3-for-4 with a triple, bringing his early season wRC+ to 128. No, you shouldn't expect that to continue.
