Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (35-36)

NORFOLK 6, SYRACUSE 5 (BOX)

Syracuse and Norfolk traded leads early and often. The Mets got out to a 1-0 lead on a Cristian Pache steal and throwing error, but surrendered two runs in the second to go down 2-1. Ji Hwan Bae tied it with a sacrifice fly in the third, and Norfolk took the lead back with two in the fourth. Bae and Pache tied it up with RBI singles in the fifth, and Yonny Hernandez gave the Mets the lead back with a bases loaded walk. Norfolk answered again, for the final time, in the eighth,

as Jud Fabian hit a two run home run to give them a 6-5 lead.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (24-41)

NEW HAMPSHIRE 5, BINGHAMTON 4 (BOX)

Bimghamton had leads of 1-0 (on a Vincent Perozo solo home run), and 3-1 (on a Nick Lorusso two run double), but they could not hold it through the middle innings. The Fisher Cats scored one in the fourth and three in the fifth, giving them a 5-3 lead that would hold. JT Schwartz added an RBI single in the fifth, but the offense dried up after that.

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (25-39)

WILMINGTON 6, BROOKLYN 0 (BOX)

Well, Brooklyn surrendered three runs in the bottom of the first and that was (mostly) that. They sprinkled five hits across the game (two of which were by Mitch Voit, which is nice to see him continue to rebound after his rough start to 2026), went 0-7 with runners in scoring position, and left eleven on base. Simply put, you are not winning with that little offense.

SS Mitch Voit: 2-5, 2B, K

1B Corey Collins: 0-3, BB, 3 K

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (32-33)

ST. LUCIE 8, DAYTONA 2 (BOX)

St. Lucie scored two in the third and never looked back. Julio Zayas and Branny De Oleo drove in both runs in that frame, on a single and double respectively. Trey Snyder added one in the third with a double of his own, making it 3-0. Daytona got one back in the next inning, but a five run sixth put the game away for the Mets. They homered three times in the inning, with Francisco Toledo, Antonio Jimenez and Yohairo Cuevas doing the damage.
