AAA: Syracuse Mets (44-62) 9, Worcester Red Sox (58-49) 8  Box Score

The Mets scored nine runs on twelve hits in Sunday’s 10-inning game. McIlwain had the biggest hit of the game with his grand slam in the sixth inning. He has gotten off to a huge start to his Triple-A career with two home runs and more walks (4) than strikeouts (3) in his first five games at the level. Nido extended his hitting streak to five games. Mauricio is hitting just .217/.250/.261 to start August.

Jarvis struggled mightily in his Mets debut giving up five runs, including two home runs, in just three innings of work. He has given up four runs or more in each of his four starts since his promotion to Triple-A. Orze has not met expectations this season, but he is still striking out over a batter per inning.

AA: New Hampshire Fisher Cats (45-53) 8, Binghamton Rumble Ponies (51-50) 4  Box Score

The Rumble Ponies struggled with runners in scoring position in Sunday’s game, going just 1-for-11 in those situations. After a hitless game to kick off his Mets career, Gilbert has had back-to-back multi-hit games.

  • RHP Jose Chacin (3-5, 5.05 ERA) 5.0 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, BB, 4 K
  • LHP Daniel Juarez (1-3, 3.03 ERA) 1.0 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, BB, 2 K
  • LHP Tyler Thomas (1-0, 1.06 ERA) 1.0 IP, 2 H, ER, 2 BB, K

The three runs Juarez gave up in this appearance was the most that he had given up in any appearance since June 22 of last year. His ERA went up by nearly a full run, from 2.20 to 3.03 after Sunday’s outing.

A+: Jersey Shore BlueClaws (54-47) 6, Brooklyn Cyclones (50-51) 0  Box Score

The Cyclones had almost no offense on Sunday: they had just three hits in the game and Williams had two of them. They were even worse with runners in scoring position, going 0-for-7 in those situations. Williams’ .538 OBP is the third-highest in the South Atlantic League over the last week. Ramirez is hitting just .227/.320/.318 so far in August.

This was Garcia’s second consecutive start, indicating that after a dominant stretch in the bullpen, he may be given a try in the starting rotation. This start was the first time he had given up multiple runs in an appearance since April 18, but he still managed to strike out three batters without walking anyone. Beck has walked more than a batter an inning but is striking out 16.88 batters per nine innings.

A: Dayton Tortugas (44-55) 5, St. Lucie Mets (35-66) 4  Box Score

Morabito has recorded at least one hit in each of his first five games since his promotion to St. Lucie. His hot start in Low-A follows a strong .324/.437/.432 performance in the Florida Coast League prior to his promotion. Locastro played nine innings in right field in the second game of his rehab stint.

Uceta pitched one inning and threw eight pitches in his first rehab start with St. Lucie. Loper struck out four batters in two perfect innings. Johnstone came into the tenth inning and proceeded to walk three straight batters (one intentionally) to end the game.
