Mets Daily Prospect Report, 5/25/26: A deluge of wins!

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (27-23)

GAME ONE

BUFFALO 6, SYRACUSE 4 / 7 (BOX)

Jack Wenninger allowed four runs over five-plus innings, matching the total he had for the entire month of April and more than he had in the entire month of May coming into this contest. The offense kept the team in the game, with Ryan Clifford adding another double and home run to his total for the season, but the team had trouble getting men in scoring position and driving them home.

GAME TWO

SYRACUSE 1, BUFFALO 0 / 7 (BOX)

The one run that Syracuse scored in the fourth was all that was needed to win this one. Joe Geber and the bullpen combined to shut the Herd out, scattering a pair of hits and three walks over seven innings. The lone run of the game came in the bottom of the fourth when Ryan Clifford hit his tenth homer of the year, and technically second on the afternoon.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (16-29)

BINGHAMTON 2, RICHMOND 1 (BOX)

Bryce Conley and Joe Whitman traded zero after zero, both pitchers throwing scoreless inning after scoreless inning. Conley ended up throwing 5.0 scoreless innings, scattering 4 hits while walking 1 and striking out 4 while Whitman went 6.0 scoreless, allowing 2 hits, walking 2, and striking out 8. In the top of the seventh, Binghamton finally put something together. Jose Ramos led off the inning with a solo homer, and the blazing hot Nick Lorusso followed one batter later with a solo blast of his own. The Rumble Pony bullpen wasn’t able to keep the shutout going, as Dan Hammer put a baserunner on third that a Brian Metoyer wild pitch brought home, but they still got the job done.

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (13-31)

BROOKLYN 4, HUDSON VALLEY 0 / 7 (BOX)

A shutout is a shutout, even if it’s only seven innings. The Cyclones nickel-and-dimed the Renegades, logging three hits and drawing seven walks en route to a series split. Brady Miller started this one after the rain finally cleared after about 45 minutes after scheduled gametime, but only threw five pitches before being removed from the game due to some kind of injury; he showed no apparent pain or issues when warming-up or throwing those five pitches, but Eduardo Nunez saw something that concerned him and removed the right-hander from the game. Tanner Witt and the rest of the Brooklyn bullpen, rested thanks to Saturday’s cancelled game, ended up pitching seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and four walks, giving the offense more than enough support to get the win. And here’s something you don’t see everyday: stealing 4 bases is impressive enough, two separate players doing so? Most impressive.

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (20-25)

ST. LUCIE 5, PALM BEACH 4 (BOX)

St. Lucie held on and secured the win by the skin of their teeth, staving off a ninth inning rally. Antonio Jimenez, back from the developmental list, doubled in a run to put St. Lucie on the board in the third and the team scored two more in the fourth. The Cardinals chipped away, scoring a run apiece in the sixth and seventh, but both runs were negated in the bottom of the eighth, when St. Lucie put up a two spot. If they hadn’t, the Mets would’ve lost this one, as Joe Scarborough had problems in the top of the ninth. A single and a double between a flyout and a groundout put men on the corners, and then an overturned strike call led to a walk that loaded up the bases. Shortstop Ryan Weingartner hit a ball into left-center that luckily ended up turning into a ground rule double, scoring two runs but keeping the tying run on base. With a blown save staring him in the face,  Scarborough hunkered down and got third baseman Brayden Smith to weakly fly out to center to end the game.
