Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (33-41/2-6)

SYRACUSE 6, WORCESTER 1 (BOX)

Three home runs provided more than enough offense for Syracuse as they cruised to just their second win in the second half of the season. Each of the 5-6-7 hitters - Abraham Almonte, Jaylin Davis, and Luke Ritter - went deep, supporting 5.1 innings of one run ball from Jose Butto. Stephen Ridings also made an appearance, striking out one in a perfect ninth.

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (27-37/10-3)

BROOKLYN 7, WILMINGTON 4 / 10(BOX)

Another gem from Blake Tidwell, who struck out 11 over six innings. Over his past four starts (hooray arbitrary endpoints), he’s allowed only four earned runs in 26 innings, striking out 37 and, most importantly, walking only five. It’s been a huge turnaround, though it remains to be seen whether he gets his stock back to where we thought it was pre-season. Of course, he didn’t earn the win in this one because the bullpen coughed up a two run lead in the ninth, but Brooklyn ultimately triumphed with a three run tenth.

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (24-41/3-8)

GAME 1: LAKELAND 4, ST. LUCIE 2 / 7 (BOX)

A fairly hum-drum loss in game 1. Wilfredo Lara went deep, but the pitching wasn’t great and the rest of the offense didn’t do much. Jett Williams went hitless with a walk.

• DH Scott Ota: 0-4, K
• SS Jett Williams: 0-3, BB

LAKELAND 13, ST. LUCIE 6 / 7 (BOX)

And a blow out in game 2. Jordany Ventura simply cannot throw strikes, and that was more than enough to sink the Mets despite a solid offensive performance. Jett made his 13th error on the season in the loss.

• LF Scott Ota: 2-4, R, RBI, BB, K
• RF Karell Paz: 2-4, R, 2B, K
