AAA: Rochester Red Wings (58-75) 3, Syracuse Mets (55-78) 8 Box Score

The Mets scored eight runs on 12 hits en route to a second straight win over the Rochester Red Wings.

JT Riddle broke a 2-2 tie with an RBI double in the second inning. Mark Vientos would add some insurance in the third with his 24th home run of the season, his first since August 23. Syracuse would add another two runs in the inning on a Yolmer Sanchez RBI double.

Luis Guillorme went 2-for-3 with an RBI while playing third base in a rehab start. He’s now 4-for-10 in three games with Syracuse as he prepares to rejoin the Major League team.

Jesus Vargas let up a pair of runs in the first inning but would settle down afterward, not allowing a run over his final three frames.

Tylor Megill followed up Vargas with a clean fifth inning, striking out one. Megill has allowed two runs through 7.2 innings between Binghamton and Syracuse as he works his way back from a shoulder strain that’s sidelined him since June 17.

Josh Walker would earn his first win of the year in Syracuse as he allowed a run on two hits over two innings.

AA: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (51-77) 5, Portland Sea Dogs (69-61) 11 Box Score

Wyatt Young opened the scoring for the Rumble Ponies with his sixth home run. Ronny Mauricio added on with a two-run homer later in the inning. The 21-year-old shortstop has hit safely in four-straight games, going 6-for-17 in that span.

Garrison Bryant was solid for six innings, allowing just two runs, but would implode in the seventh inning where he’d give up four runs en route to the loss.

Binghamton’s bullpen couldn’t stop the bleeding as Justin Courtney and Josh Hejka combined to allow five runs in 1.2 innings.
