Syracuse pitchers combined to strike out ten batters and allow just a single unearned run in Sunday’s game. Most impressively, they successfully worked out of trouble throughout the game, stranding 13 runners and limiting the Red Sox to just a single hit in 17 at bats with runners in scoring position. This was Coleman’s best start since joining the Mets organization, although he does continue to have some control issues, walking six batters in 12.0 innings pitched. Caminero has not allowed a run and has given up just two hits over his first five outings of the season.
