Wednesday was not a winning day in the Mets organization, as the four affiliates combined to go 1-4 in the five games that were played, scoring a combined 15 runs.

Rylan Bannon has been getting consistent playing time in the first week and a half of spring. He’s got a chance to crack the Opening Day roster with an injury or two—which always happens in spring.
