Wagaman led the offense with three hits and two runs batted in, including a two-run single in a three-run seventh that pushed the lead back to four. The seventh started with a Jackson Cluff single and walks to Andy Ibáñez and Clifford to load the bases ahead of Wagaman's hit, and Rortvedt later capped the inning with a sacrifice fly that scored Clifford. Rortvedt finished 2-for-3 with three runs batted in, and Yonny Hernández added two hits.

Hudson Valley broke a 1-0 game open in the third with a leadoff solo home run, two walks around a strikeout, a run-scoring single, and a grand slam, all charged to starter Jonathan Jimenez. The Cyclones had taken a 1-0 lead the previous inning when JT Benson doubled to left to score Corey Collins. John Bay then provided Brooklyn's only other damage with a two-run home run in the eighth that scored Diego Mosquera. Bay finished 1-for-4 with his fifth home run of the season and two runs batted in. Benson added a double and a run batted in. Beyond that pair, Brooklyn collected no other hits, finishing with two for the game and striking out 14 times. Yonatan Henriquez struck out four times, and Ronald Hernandez fanned three more.

A solo home run in the second and a three-run home run in the third gave the visitors a 4-0 lead, and St. Lucie was unable to break through against the Palm Beach bullpen the rest of the way. The Mets pushed across their only run in the seventh. AJ Salgado was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, advanced to second on a walk to Yohairo Cuevas, and scored on Sam Robertson's sacrifice fly to right.

Syracuse Erupts For Four In The 10th To Top RailRiders Syracuse pulled away in extras for a 6-2 win at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, breaking a tie with a four-run 10th inning. Christian Arroyo led the way at 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI, delivering both the tying hit in the eighth and the go-ahead double in the 10th. Eric Wagaman went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk, and Yonny Hernández added a 2-for-5 night with an RBI. Jihwan Bae singled, walked twice, drove in a run, and stole a base. Xzavion Curry made the start and worked five innings, allowing two runs on six hits with three strikeouts and no walks. Dylan Ross handled the final two innings, striking out three and walking one without allowing a hit to pick up the win and improve to 2-0. The decisive stretch began in the eighth, when Arroyo singled in Bae to even the score at 2. After Curry surrendered a two-run home run in the second, Bae had pulled Syracuse within one in the third by singling home Jackson Cluff. In the 10th, zombie runner Matt Rudick scored on a Nick Morabito single, Arroyo doubled in Morabito, a Wagaman walk and a wild pitch brought home Ryan Clifford, and Hernández singled in Arroyo. Syracuse stranded eight runners and collected 11 hits without an error.

Leadoff hitter Mitch Voit went 1-for-4 with a double, Sam Biller added a 1-for-3 night with a double, and John Bay singled to account for the Cyclones' three hits. Brooklyn pitching surrendered just two hits across eight innings and combined for eight strikeouts. Irving Cota was sharp at the start, working three hitless innings with three strikeouts and no walks. Parker Carlson followed and absorbed the loss, charged with the lone run on one hit and three walks across two innings, though the run was unearned. The decisive inning came in the bottom of the fourth. Carlson walked two with one out, and a groundout to second plated the eventual game-winning run for Rome. Cristofer Gomez settled the game with 1 1/3 innings of one-hit relief and three strikeouts, and Garrett Stratton finished with 1 2/3 hitless innings and one strikeout.

Oh, definitely, which is half the fun, to watch people's perceptions of a team ebb and flow over 162.

Disastrous start to the season aside, this is still a really talented squad. Do you think they'll get back to .500 at any point this season? And if yes, then when?
