Mets first base prospect (No. 13 prospect) Cole Mathis hit a game-tying solo homer in the eighth inning on Sunday during the Surprise Saguaros’ 5-4 win over the Glendale Desert Dogs. (Box score)

Mathis, whom the Mets acquired in June from the Cubs for David Peterson, went 1-for-4 and is 2-for-15 in four AFL games. The homer was his first since joining the organization. The 2024 second-round pick from the College of Charleston hit 10 homers combined at the Cubs’ High-A and Low-A levels this year.

Boston Baro, 22, whom the Mets drafted out of a Mission Viejo, Calif., high school in the eighth round in 2023, went 0-for-2 with two walks. The third baseman is 1-for-10 with an RBI in four games.

Bruin Agbayani (No. 28 prospect) played second base and went 0-for-3 with two runs scored, a walk and a strikeout. He is 1-for-16 with a double in five games. He came to the Mets with infielder Billy Amick when A.J. Minter was dealt to the Twins.

The Mets have five pitching prospects on the Saguaros. None appeared Sunday, but here’s how they are faring so far:

  • RHP Brendan Girton, no runs on two hits, one walk, 1 1/3 innings pitched;
  • RHP Ryan Lambert, no runs on no hits, four strikeouts and one walk, two innings pitched;
  • RHP Peyton Prescott, three earned runs on six hits, two strikeouts, four walks, one HBP, three innings pitched;
  • RHP Irving Cota, two earned runs on one hit, seven strikeouts, three walks, 4 2/3 innings pitched;
  • RHP Calvin Ziegler, three earned runs on no hits, one strikeout, three walks, 1 1/3 innings pitched.

The Saguaros (4-3) are made up of Mets, Guardians, Rangers, Royals and Phillies prospects. The six-team AFL season ends on Nov. 14.
