Triple-A - Syracuse Mets (5-1)
SYRACUSE 7, ROCHESTER 5 (BOX)
The Syracuse Mets came from behind yesterday to beat the Rochester Red Wings for their fifth straight victory. Syracuse got on the board early when Travis Taijeron singled home Gregor Blanco from third in the bottom of the first inning. Unfortunately for the Mets, starter Zach Lee was unable to hold the 1-0 lead he was given, giving up two runs in the top of the second, and an additional three in the top of the third before being lifted from the game for Corey Taylor. Finding themselves down 5-1, Syracuse came out swinging in the bottom half of the third inning. Carlos Gomez reached on a throwing error to lead of the inning, and eventually scored on a Rymer Liriano sacrifice fly. Dilson Herrera and Tim Tebow followed that up with back to back RBI singles, driving home three runs to cut the Rochester lead to 5-4. Tomas Nido doubled home Tebow later in the inning, and David Thompson followed suit and singled Nido home to cap off a six-run bottom of the third inning that gave Syracuse a 7-5 lead. Corey Taylor, Paul Sewald, and Daniel Zamora combined to give Syracuse 6.1 innings of scoreless relief to secure Syracuse’s fifth straight victory.

Trailing 3-1 in the top of the sixth, St. Lucie scratched across a run in the sixth when Desmond Lindsay singled home Quinn Brodey from second, to cut the Tampa lead to 3-2. Quinn Brodey doubled home Manny Rodriguez and Carlos Cortes in the top of the seventh, and Lindsay again singled Brodey home from second later in the inning to give St. Lucie a 5-3 lead.

Tampa refused to go down without a fight, and scored three in the bottom of the eighth off of Joe Cavallaro to cut St. Lucie’s lead to 8-7. St. Lucie scored a badly needed insurance run in the top of the ninth, when Cody Bohanek singled home Desmond Lindsay, who led off the inning with a double.
