Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (42-42)
WORCESTER 7, SYRACUSE 5 (BOX)
Syracuse took a 5-3 lead into the top of the seventh, but their bullpen gave up four runs over the final three innings of the game without any response from their lineup. If you’re looking for a silver lining, Jorge Polanco hit a home run and drew a walk as the Mets’ designated hitter in this one. It’s worth pointing out that he’s had one or more days off between each of his rehab appearances since starting his second attempt at a rehab assignment on June 27.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (29-49)
BOWIE 8, BINGHAMTON 4 (BOX)
Binghamton trailed 2-0 when the eighth inning got underway, but they put up a four spot to take a two-run lead in the bottom of that inning. Douglas Orellana proceeded to have about as bad a night as a reliever can have, though, as he didn’t record a single out while giving up five runs—all earned—on four hits and a walk. Bowie tacked on a sixth run that was charged to fellow reliever Saul Garcia in the top of the ninth, and that was that.
Lost amid all of that was a very good outing from Max Green, whose story about overcoming the yips to pursue his dream is a good one.

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (32-45)
FREDERICK 9, BROOKLYN 4 (BOX)
Cyclones pitchers gave up at least one run in seven of the eight innings they pitched in this one, and Brooklyn’s four-run innings in the top of the fifth accounted for all of their runs while merely pulling them within one run of Frederick at the time.
Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (35-41)
TAMPA 7, ST. LUCIE 5 (BOX)
With a 5-4 lead heading into the top of the ninth, St. Lucie saw relief pitcher Zack Mack give up three runs to swing the game in Tampa’s favor. This was not the best night for the Mets’ non-rookie-ball minor league teams.
