Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (13-13)

WORCESTER 6, SYRACUSE 2 (BOX)

Jonah Tong’s maddening start to 2025 continues. The right-hander continues getting plenty of strikeouts (38 in 25.1 innings), but has been allowing too many free passes (15 in 25.1 innings) and has been far too hittable, leading to afternoons like this one, where he allowed three runs in four-plus innings. Jonathan Pintaro, he wasn’t great in relief, and the offense on the whole kind of stunk.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (8-12)

GAME ONE

ERIE 5, BINGHAMTON 1 / 7 (BOX)

The SeaWolves plated three runs off of Jonathan Santucci before the southpaw could even record a single out. He settled down, allowing one more in the top of the sixth, his last inning of work, but the Rumble Pony offense wasn’t able to do much against starter Joe Miller or the Erie bullpen despite plenty of batters getting on base.

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (5-15)

GAME ONE

BROOKLYN 6, HUDSON VALLEY 2 / 7 (BOX)

Brooklyn’s own Channing Austin continued his excellent week with another four-plus innings of scoreless ball, giving him 9.1 innings against the Renegades this week. The Cyclones took the lead in the top of the second on an RBI single by Kevin Villavicencio and a two-run homer off the bat of Mitch Voit and never looked back. A Kaeden Kent two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh broke up the shutout, but this one was all Brooklyn.

GAME TWO

HUDSON VALLEY 7, BROOKLYN 2 / 7 (BOX)

The Cyclones were a bit less fortunate in Game Two, with Jonathan Jimenez allowing a five-spot in the fourth to put Brooklyn well behind the eight ball. Corey Collins put the Cyclones in the driver’s seat in the top of the first with a solo homer, but Jonathan Jimenez sunk any chance of Brooklyn sweeping the doubleheader, allowing seven runs- six earned- in total.

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (10-11)

ST. LUCIE 11, PALM BEACH 2 (BOX)

The St. Lucie offense found their stroke, with Randy Guzman having another explosive day. Getting a start at the hot corner, a position he only has a handful of professional games at, Guzman went 3-4 with two doubles and a homer, his fourth of the season. Branny De Oleo also had a three-hit afternoon; in fact, every St. Lucie batter notched at least one hit, with five of the nine getting on base multiple times. Nicolas Carreno threw five scoreless, and while the bullpen after him allowed a pair of runs, St. Lucie won convincingly.

· RF Sam Biller: 1-4, 2 R, RBI, BB, K, HBP, 2 SB (6, 7)
