A+ Florida State League: St. Lucie 5/6/0, Fort Myers 3/4/2

Jeurys Familia had a decent outing tonight, nothing to write home about, but only 2 walks in 5.1 innings is a very positive continuation of his last few starts (11/51 BB/K in 36.2 August innings). Rhiner Cruz was bailed out by rain, he’d walked the bases loaded in the 8th when it started to rain, so he got a save, in a dicey manner.

The Mets offense had 6 hits and a 2/10 BB/K, while going 2 for 7 (.286) with RISP and leaving 4 on base.
