It was a winning afternoon in the Mets organization on Wednesday, as the five affiliates combined for a 3-2 record. Binghamton hit three home runs en route to their win, and a good pitchers duel in Brooklyn ended in a walk-off. Find out more about those games below.
The Mets offense only had one extra-base hit, which was the double by Ritter. They were shut out until the top of the ninth when Reyes had a sacrifice fly and Brosseau had an RBI single. In total, the lineup struck out 11 times against four Buffalo pitchers.
It was not the best day for Syracuse pitchers in terms of command. The four pitchers on the mound combined for 11 walks compared to just five strikeouts. Vasil gave up all three of his runs in the first inning with Buffalo driving those runs in via a two-run double and a hit-by-pitch. Walker continued his strong season as he has held opposing hitters to a .157 batting average.

The Rumble Ponies and Flying Squirrels were tied at one heading into the seventh. Then, the Rumble Ponies were able to break the game open. Osborn hit a two-run home run in the top of the seventh to put Binghamton ahead, 3-1. One inning later, Jordan hit a three-run home run to put the game away ultimately.
Jackson ended up having his third multi-hit game in the last five days, which included a two-run home run in the ninth. Meanwhile, Parada had a multi-hit day and has done that in five of his last eight games. Parada is hitting .309/.397/.527 with a 161 wRC+ in July.
After a rough start to the season, Stuart has allowed two runs or fewer in six consecutive starts. The only run scored against him on Wednesday came on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fifth. This month, he has a 1.96 ERA over the course of four starts. Gervase did allow three runs in the eighth, but all of them scored due to two Binghamton errors in the inning.
It was a pitcher’s duel throughout Wednesday afternoon, but the Cyclones found a way to edge out an extra-inning victory. Both runs came around to score in the bottom of the tenth. The game-tying run scored on a wild pitch. Later in the inning, it was a walk-off single by Lara that brought in the game-winning run.
Wilfredo Lara was today’s hero as he plated the game-winning run in the bottom of the 10th to give the Cyclones a 2-1 win on Wednesday afternoon.

Morabito stole two bases to put him at 30 for the year. As of Wednesday afternoon, he is one of seven players in the South Atlantic League with 30+ stolen bases.
The four Cyclones pitchers combined to allow just five singles. Wenninger ended up having his most strikeouts in an outing since joining Brooklyn and he has not allowed a run in eight consecutive innings. Lawson allowed an unearned run, but it kept his streak alive of eight consecutive outings, allowing one run or fewer.

The St. Lucie offense struck out 17 times in Wednesday’s loss. The only run that was driven in came on an RBI single from Fañas in the bottom of the seventh for the team’s first run. Baro stood out with his three-hit performance, which was the seventh of the year for the 19-year-old. His 23 hits this month are four more than any other player in the Florida State League.
St. Lucie used six pitchers on Wednesday but managed to record only seven strikeouts. Gomez threw the ball well and had his longest outing of the year out of the bullpen. The Mets staff only allowed one hit in the final three innings and Garcia was the only pitcher to allow an extra-base hit in the loss.
On Wednesday, five of the nine hitters in the Mets lineup ended up having two or more hits. The Blue Mets squad ended up erasing a 7-4 deficit with four runs in the top of the eighth. Reyes was a part of that rally as his RBI single tied the game at seven. This month, Reyes has driven in ten runs in 47 at-bats.
In the leadoff spot, Gomez had the lone three-hit performance and it was the first time he had three hits in a game this season. The 18-year-old has driven in ten runs in 11 games this month.
Despite the Mets pitching staff having as many walks as strikeouts (9), they were able to hang on to get the win thanks to the six-out save from Verdu. It was his first save of the year and it snapped a streak of three consecutive outings in which he allowed a run.
