*All results from games played on Sunday, May 11, 2021

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (1-6)

WORCESTER 8, SYRACUSE 5 (BOX)

Syracuse’s slow start to the season continued in a 8-5 loss to the Red Sox Triple-A affiliate. The Mets actually had a lead in this one going into the back third of the game thanks to home runs from Deivy Grullon and Martin Cervenka, but Stephen Tarply had another disastrous outing that cost the Mets the game. The waiver claim from the Marlins now has a 67.50 ERA on the season. Khalil Lee, who could soon be called up to the major league roster, went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (0-5)

ALTOONA 5, BINGHAMTON 0 (BOX)

Binghamton still has yet to win a game this year, and they managed only one hit against the Altoona Curve. Tylor Megill impressed again, striking out seven in five innings to lower his ERA to 0.90 and boost his K/9 to 15.3. He’ll be due for a promotion soon at this rate. On the other side of the coin, Mark Vientos continues to look overmatched, striking out four times. He’s struck out in more than half of his Double-A at bats so far.

• CF Desmond Lindsay: 0-3, BB, K
• 2B Luis Carpio: 0-4, 3 K
• LF Sebastian Elizalde: 1-3, BB, K, SB (1)

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (3-3)

BROOKLYN 6, GREENVILLE 1 (BOX)

Brooklyn scored in each of the first four innings en route to getting back to .500, topping the Drive 6-1. Top prospects Ronny Mauricio and Brett Baty impressed; the former hit his third home run of the year, while the latter managed two hits and a walk. Adrian Hernandez also appeared and managed a hit, with a thicker, stockier build than we’ve seen from him in the pass. If he stays healthy and his new frame shows some power output, he’ll be a name to watch.

• LF Antoine Duplantis: 1-5, R
• RF Matt Winaker: 1-4, 2 R, 2B, BB
• SS Ronny Mauricio: 1-5, R, HR (3), 2 RBI, K, E (4)

Low-A: St. Lucie Mets (5-2)

ST. LUCIE 4, DAYTONA 2 (BOX)

St. Lucie didn’t score until the seventh, but they managed runs in each of the last three innings in a 4-2 win over the Tortugas. Francisco Alvarez put together another three hit day as the offensive star, while Jaylen Palmer and Pete Crow-Armstrong had productive days thanks to a trio of walks between them. On the pitching side, the Mets walked a bunch of batters but managed the win nonetheless.

• CF Pete Crow-Armstrong: 1-4, BB, K, SB (2), E (1)
• SS Shervyen Newton: 1-3, R, RBI, 2 BB, K
• C Francisco Alvarez: 3-4, K, E (2)
