Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (16-22)

BUFFALO 8, SYRACUSE 7 (BOX)

No way. No way. Blown saves in the ninth inning three days in a row. Ronny Mauricio finished a triple short of the cycle, but who cares - Syracuse is experiencing a 2007-Mets level bullpen meltdown at this point. I’ve got nothing else to add.

• SS Danny Mendick: 0-4, 2 K, E
• 2B Ronny Mauricio: 3-5, 3 R, 2B, HR (7), RBI, SB (8)

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (13-18)

HARTFORD 6, BINGHAMTON 5 (BOX)

At least this wasn’t a blown save in the ninth but - like Syracuse - Binghamton coughed up a late lead and then lost the game in the ninth for the THIRD DAY IN A ROW. The Rumble Ponies scored all five runs of their runs in a single inning, but also struck out 14 times. Meanwhile, Nolan Clenney blew the lead in the seventh after reliving Luis Moreno, and Hunter Parsons gave up the game winning run in the ninth. Mets develop organizational relief depth challenge; difficulty - impossible.

• SS Wyatt Young: 1-3, R, 2 BB
• CF Matt Rudick: 2-5, R, 2B, 2 K
• 3B Jose Peroza: 2-5, R, 2B, 2 K

• RHP Hunter Parsons: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, L (2-2)

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (11-18)

My god, the epidemic is spreading. Brooklyn jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second on a homer from Drake Osborn. They held that lead until the seventh, when Wilkin Ramos gave up two in his second inning of work. Then in the ninth, Paul Gervase surrendered the walkoff run in the ninth. Just brutal.

• SS Cesar Berbesi: 0-3, BB, K
• DH Kevin Parada: 1-4, 2B
• LF Alex Ramirez: 0-3, BB
• RF Stanley Consuegra: 0-4, K, E (3)
