Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (31-44/41-26)
SYRACUSE 3, WORCHESTER 1 (BOX)
Since the big league team can’t give us any good news, here is one small reason for optimism: Kodai Senga pitched great for Syracuse last night. He did something he’s been unable to do with the big league club lately: throw a quality start. He yielded just one run on three hits in six innings of work. Even more importantly, he fanned eight batters and didn’t walk any. That one run came in the second inning, but Syracuse plated a pair of runs in the fifth to take the lead.
Austin Warren and Richard Lovelady were spotless in relief of Senga, capping off the victory for Syracuse.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (45-22*/43-24)
BINGHAMTON 5, PORTLAND 4 (BOX)
It was a thrilling walk-off victory for the Rumble Ponies. This game was a back-and-forth affair with Bingo taking a 2-0 lead in the fourth, only to go down 3-2 in the top of the next inning. The Sea Dogs added an insurance run in the top of the seventh, but the Ponies rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game with Nick Morabito knocking in the game-tying run. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Jacob Reimer came through with the walk-off single.

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (34-31*/43-22)
DAYTONA BEACH 2, ST. LUCIE 0 (BOX)
St. Lucie’s season came to an end with a shutout loss to the Tortugas, who advance to the FSL finals. St. Lucie managed just two hits and struck out eleven times against Tortugas pitching. Mets reliever Jonathan Jimenez walk three of the first four batters he faced in the third inning to load the bases. Arnaldo Lantigua plated the first run of the game with a sacrifice fly to give the Tortugas a 1-0 lead. Jimenez settled down after that, not allowing another hit until the seventh when he surrendered a leadoff home run that doubled Daytona Beach’s lead. It could have been worse; St. Lucie pitchers stranded 11 runners on base in all, but the offense was completely stymied, tagging Jimenez with the loss in St. Lucie’s final game.
