Mets Daily Prospect Report, 6/24/16: Losses Abound

*All results from games played on Thursday, June 23, 2016

Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (40-33)________________________________

LAS VEGAS 8, RENO 6 (Box).

The 51s had an 8-0 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh, and in true PCL fashion, still needed a save with the game-tying run on base in the bottom of the ninth. Gabriel Ynoa pitched 6.2 strong innings, while Travis Taijeron and Nevin Ashley each hit two-run home runs to pace the offense. However, not all was perfect in this game: Seth Lugo pitched a meltdown inning of relief and Gavin Cecchini committed his 21st error of the season.

Double-A - Binghamton Mets (28-42)____________________________

ALTOONA 9, BINGHAMTON 6 (Box)

Bingo continues their losing ways after dropping a 9-6 affair to the Altoona Curve, and prolonging the current losing streak to 10 games. A poorlyplayed game all around, Mets starter Josh Zeid threw 107 pitches over five laborious innings while two Binghamton errors led to two unearned runs last night. Dominic Smith went 0-for-4, and in the process, lowered his splits against left handed pitching to .190/.294/.190 in 58 season at-bats.

• 3B Derrik Gibson: 4-5, R, 2 RBI, K
• 2B L.J. Mazzilli: 1-5, 2B, 2 RBI, K

SS-A - Brooklyn Cyclones (2-5)_________________________________

CONNECTICUT 3, BROOKLYN 2 (Box)

Again, this game was an example of poor luck throughout the system last night. Two Cyclones pitchers, Harol Gonzalez and Taylor Henry, combined to hold the Tigers to two hits over eight innings but couldn't propel Brooklyn to a win last night. After scoring a run without getting a hit in the sixth (and still being no-hit), the Tigers put together two singles that culminated in two runs in the seventh. Brooklyn attempted a comeback in the eighth via Jay Jabs's ground out and Brandon Brosher's sacrifice fly, but went down meekly in the ninth to ensure the loss.

• LF Gene Cone: 0-5
• CF Jacob Zanon: 0-3, R, BB, 2 K
• SS Colby Woodmansee: 2-4
• DH Ali Sanchez: 2-4, R, K
• 3B Jay Jabs: 2-4, RBI
• C Brandon Brosher: 0-2, RBI, BB, K
• 1B Darryl Knight: 0-3, BB, CS (1)
• RF Arnaldo Berrios: 1-4, K
• 2B Dale Burdick: 1-4, SB (1)
• RHP Harol Gonzalez: 6.2 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, WP
• LHP Taylor Henry: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
