Here is what you need to know from Wednesday’s minor league action in the Mets system: A four-hit day for Jacob Reimer could hopefully be the start of an offensive breakout. Reimer is the No. 5-ranked Mets prospect on MLB Pipeline and is hopefully trending in the right direction. Elsewhere, Will Watson punched out six batters in his start on Wednesday and showed a little better control while walking just one batter. Elian Peña drew another two walks as he continues to show an impressive approach at the plate and is maintaining an OPS of .894 so far.

Hudson Valley Renegades (9-7) 4, Brooklyn Cyclones (4-12) 3
Box Score
- RHP Noah Hall: 3.0 IP, 5 H, 4 BB, 3 R, 2 ER, 4 K (4.67 ERA)

- CF John Bay: 1-4, RBI, K
Kyle West took Bryce Jenkins deep in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Cyclones suffered a walk-off loss to the Renegades on Wednesday. Noah Hall started the game for the Cyclones and struggled with his command, walking four batters in three innings of work. His defense did him no favors, either, as he was charged with three runs in total, with two of them earned. Another day with a hit and an RBI for John Bay leaves his OPS at .933 so far this season. Of note, Mitch Voit stole two bases on the day, bringing his total up to four on the year.
