Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (31-44/44-28)
LEHIGH VALLEY 8, SYRACUSE 2 (BOX)
Kodai Senga’s time in Triple-A took a turn for the worse here – six hits, four runs, two walks without getting out of the fourth. He’s probably not going to make the (presumptive) playoff roster at this point unfortunately – hopefully he can get right for next year. Anyway, the Syracuse lineup didn’t do enough to overcome the rough start, only managing three hits.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (45-22*/45-24*)
BINGHAMTON 5, SOMERSET 4 (BOX)
The Rumble Ponies are headed to the Eastern League Championship! Jack Wenninger’s strong start – backed by just enough offense from the Binghamton lineup – topped the Somerset Patriots to complete the two game sweep of the divisional round. A.J. Ewing was a clear sparkplug atop the lineup, driving in two and adding a triple and a run. A four run seventh from Somerset made things a bit dicey, but Carlos Guzman and (fittingly) Ryan Lambert were equal to the task of protecting the one run lead over the final two innings.
