Mets Minor League Report: St. Lucie Twirls No-Hitter

At Triple-A, Kevin Parada homered in a Syracuse loss, while Jose Ramos knocked in both Binghamton runs. In Brooklyn, Jose Chirinos struck out ten over six innings in a hard-luck Quality Start that ended in a 3-0 defeat.

Parada Homers but Syracuse Falls in Buffalo

The Syracuse Mets dropped a 7-2 decision to the Buffalo Bisons. Andy Ibáñez and Jihwan Bae each collected two hits, and Kevin Parada added a home run and an RBI. Syracuse struck first in the opening inning when Bae singled, then scored on an Ibáñez line-drive single to left. Buffalo answered in the bottom of the first with two runs and pulled away with two more in the third and three in the fifth. Parada's solo home run in the fifth accounted for the final Syracuse run. The Mets managed six hits, did not draw a walk, and left three runners on base.

Jonah Tong took the loss, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four over four innings. Daniel Duarte struggled in relief, giving up two runs in one-third of an inning, and Zach Peek allowed one run while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning.

Early Lead Slips Away as Binghamton Falls in Somerset

The Binghamton Rumble Ponies lost 10-2 to the Somerset Patriots. Jose Ramos drove in both Binghamton runs with a first-inning single, and Jacob Reimer reached base twice with a hit and a walk. Binghamton jumped ahead in the top of the first when Chris Suero and Reimer drew walks and Ramos lined a single to left to score both. The lead did not hold. Somerset answered with a run in the first, then broke the game open with three runs in the fourth and added single runs in the sixth and seventh before a four-run eighth. Binghamton managed just two hits, walked five times, struck out 14 times, and left five runners on base.

R.J. Gordon took the loss, surrendering four runs, three earned, on three hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 3 1/3 innings. Douglas Orellana provided scoreless relief across 1 2/3 innings, while Dan Hammer and Brian Metoyer each allowed a home run.

Chirinos Strikes Out Ten but Brooklyn Blanked at Home

The Brooklyn Cyclones were shut out 3-0 by the Frederick Keys despite a strong start from Jose Chirinos. JT Benson doubled, and John Bay singled and stole a base, but the offense never broke through, managing four hits, drawing one walk, striking out nine times, and leaving four runners on base. Brooklyn's best late threat came in the ninth, when Ronald Hernandez and Corey Collins each singled, but the inning ended without a run. Frederick scored all of its runs against Chirinos, taking the lead on a two-run home run in the fourth and adding a run on a double in the sixth.

Chirinos turned in a Quality Start in defeat, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out ten over six innings. Danis Correa, Ryan Dollar, and Hoss Brewer combined for three scoreless innings of relief, striking out five.

Cam Tilly Dominates as St. Lucie Cruises to No-Hitter

The St. Lucie Mets rolled to a 7-0 win over the Palm Beach Cardinals behind a dominant pitching performance. Antonio Jimenez homered, walked, and scored twice, Trey Snyder tripled and drove in two runs, and Simon Juan added two hits, including a double. St. Lucie built the lead steadily, scratching across a run in the third when Elian Peña scored on a fielder's choice and a throwing error. The Mets added two more in the fifth, capped by a Julio Zayas single that scored Jimenez. The decisive blow came in the sixth, when Juan doubled, and Snyder followed with a two-run triple to make it 5-0. Jimenez tacked on a solo home run in the ninth. St. Lucie collected seven hits, drew three walks, and left eight runners on base. 

Cam Tilly was overpowering, allowing no hits and no runs while walking three and striking out four over 6 1/3 innings to earn the win. Elwis Mijares finished the shutout with two and two-thirds hitless, scoreless innings, walking one and striking out three.
