Mets Minors Recap: Sean Reid-Foley Makes Rehab Appearance

Perhaps the biggest storyline in the Mets minor leagues on Sunday was reliever Sean Reid-Foley making a rehab appearance with the Brooklyn Cyclones. Reid-Foley struggled, but what matters most is how he feels physically. He was fantastic earlier this year for the Mets, posting a 1.66 ERA in 21 2/3 innings before his injury.

Despite Reid-Foley’s rocky outing, Brooklyn took the victory. Binghamton also won their game, while Syracuse and St. Lucie dropped theirs.

Triple-A

Syracuse Mets (61-40) 3, Buffalo Bisons (48-53) 9

BOX SCORE

• DH Drew Gilbert: 0-for-2, 3 BB, SB (1) (.594 OPS)

• SS Pablo Reyes: 1-for-4, HR (9), R, 2 RBI (36), BB (.916 OPS)
• LF Jackie Bradley Jr.: 2-for-4, K (.769 OPS)

The Syracuse Mets lost 9-3 to the Buffalo Bisons, falling behind 4-0 after two innings to put themselves in an early hole. Brett Baty drove in the game’s first run with a fielder’s choice groundout in the third inning before Pablo Reyes hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning. Ultimately, Buffalo scored nine total runs, and the Mets never really came close to threatening their lead.

• RHP Blade Tidwell (L, 0-3): 6 IP, 4 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 6 K (5.56 ERA)
• RHP Carlos Guzman: 0 IP, 3 R (ER), 3 BB, 0 K (4.76 ERA)

• RHP Jeffrey Colon: 1 IP, 2 ER, 2 H, 3 BB, 2 K (22.50 ERA)

The pitching staff fared poorly, with Max Kranick the only pitcher of four to appear in the game not to allow a run. Blade Tidwell wasn’t awful, allowing four runs in six innings, but Carlos Guzman allowed three runs without recording an out behind him. Jeffrey Colon also struggled mightily, allowing five baserunners and two runs in an inning of work.

The Mets received some prospect promotion news on Sunday, with Trey McLoughlin moving up from Double-A Binghamton. McLoughlin pitched to a 2.08 ERA in 30 1/3 innings of work with the Rumble Ponies.

After Brooklyn tied the game, Sean Reid-Foley struggled in his rehab appearance, surrendering two runs in two-thirds of an inning.
