The Syracuse Mets went ballistic on offense, notching five home runs. Brett Baty continues his domination of Triple-A, hitting yet another home run while playing his customary third base. Every Syracuse Met reached base on Tuesday. Rylan Bannon and Rhylan Thomas also homered for Syracuse.

• RHP Cole Sulser (1.93 ERA) 1 IP, 1 unearned run, 2 BB

Christian Scott had another good outing as the Mets continued to limit his innings. Wilkin Ramos continues to show he may be a potential option in the bullpen for the New York Mets this year. His season ERA is 1.08 and his ground ball rate is over 60%.

• RHP Bryce Montes de Oca (13.50 ERA) 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 1 K

Joander Suarez had a good outing, but it just wasn’t enough behind a Rumble Ponies offense that struggled to do much of anything Tuesday. Bryce Montes de Oca continues to struggle a bit in his return from Tommy John surgery.
