Mets pitching prospect Jack Wenninger lasted just 2.1 innings in Sunday’s game for Triple-A Syracuse, getting pulled after 61 pitches.
The right-hander allowed two earned runs, both coming in the third inning, on two hits and four walks.

Despite walking the bases loaded in the second inning, Wenninger kept the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders scoreless through two innings. However, things unraveled for the 24-year-old in the third after a leadoff single by George Lombard Jr. and Wenninger’s fourth walk of the day.
With two on and nobody out, Marco Luciano doubled to drive in a run before Oswaldo Cabrera brought home another on a sacrifice fly. That would be it for Wenninger who only threw 28 strikes out of 61 pitches (46 percent).
The brief outing matched Wenninger’s season-low which came on April 23 where he only allowed two runs on one hit but walked five and hit a batter. He’s now at 22 walks in 35.2 innings this season.
Wenninger left with the game tied after Syracuse scored twice in the first inning.
