Mets Daily Prospect Report, 4/11/19: The walks are contagious

*All results from games played on April 10, 2019

Triple-A - Syracuse Mets (W/L Record)

ROCHESTER 8, SYRACUSE 2 (BOX)

Jacob Rhame had a day to forget, getting shellacked in an 8-2 loss. Hector Santiago made a mediocre start, allowing three runs over five innings, but three scoreless innings from Ryan O’Rourke kept the Mets in it. Rhame imploded in the ninth, however, giving up five runs, four earned, while walking two and allowing three hits. The Mets would have lost either way, as the offense only mustered two runs, but Rhame’s outing was the most high profile struggle in this game.

Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (4-3)

ST. LUCIE 4, TAMPA 3 (BOX)

St. Lucie weathered a seventh inning surge and hung on to win 4-3 over the Tampa Tarpons. Despite registering only two RBI, the Mets put together four runs, with Desmond Lindsay’s four walks providing ample scoring opportunities. Briam Campusano made a scoreless, five inning start, and while Marcel Renteria gave up a three-run home run in the seventh, Conner O’Neil tossed two scoreless innings to protect the lead and earn the save.

Low-A - Columbia Fireflies (3-3)

COLUMBIA 2, ROME 0 (BOX)

In a game started by one of the Mets’ day 1 selections from 2018, the Fireflies won in a 2-0 pitcher’s duel. Simeon Woods-Richardson made a brief, three inning start, striking out two and allowing only two hits. Willy Taveras got the piggy-back assignment and tossed five scorless innings of his own to earn the win. The Columbia offense was relatively quiet, with unremarkable days from top prospects Ronny Mauricio and Mark Vientos. Vientos in particular is off to a slow start, though the six game sample size is extremely small.

• SS Ronny Mauricio: 1-4, E (3), CS (2)
• 2B Walter Rasquin: 0-4, K, SB (1)
• 3B Mark Vientos: 0-3, R, BB, K
