The Mets' affiliates went 1-2 on a quiet night with a Brooklyn rainout. St. Lucie pulled away with a five-run fourth inning and rolled to a 6-2 win at Lakeland behind R.J. Gordon's two scoreless, four-strikeout innings to start and JT Benson's two-run homer and triple. Syracuse fell 3-2 in a rain-shortened six-inning game at home to Rochester. Binghamton was buried 10-2 by Hartford as Will Watson surrendered a first-inning grand slam in the loss. Mets Transactions No Roster Moves Rain Cuts Short Syracuse In 3-2 Loss To Rochester Syracuse dropped a 3-2 decision to Rochester in a game called after the bottom of the sixth due to rain. The Mets opened the scoring in the bottom of the first when Nick Morabito singled to right, and Ryan Clifford followed with a line-drive single to center to drive him in for an early 1-0 lead. Rochester answered with a three-run fourth that put the visitors ahead for good. Starter Jack Weisenburger took the loss after four innings of three-hit, three-earned-run work that included two walks and four strikeouts. The damage came on a hit-by-pitch, a single, and another single in succession during a four-batter sequence in the top of the fourth that produced all three Rochester runs. Joey Gerber followed with a clean fifth that included a strikeout, and Luke Jackson worked the sixth, allowing one hit but no runs while striking out one, before the rain came. Syracuse pulled back within one in the bottom of the sixth when Morabito singled, Clifford doubled to right to put runners at second and third, and Cristian Pache singled to left to plate Clifford. Ji Hwan Bae walked, but the rally ended on a Ben Rortvedt flyout, and the umpires called the game shortly after. Clifford finished a perfect 2-for-2 with a double, a walk, an RBI, and a run scored. Morabito went 2-for-3 with a stolen base, and Pache added a 1-for-3 line with the RBI. Bae drew two walks, and Syracuse finished with five hits and three free passes in the abbreviated outing.

The Yard Goats jumped on starter Will Watson immediately with a grand slam that emptied the bases, and Watson did not record a third out, exiting after two-thirds of an inning, having allowed three hits, four earned runs, two walks, and a home run without a strikeout. The bullpen was a mixed bag. Felipe De La Cruz worked one and two-thirds innings, allowing three hits and one run while fanning three. Kevin Gowdy tossed a scoreless inning, and Wyatt Young, the position player thrown into mop-up duty, surrendered three hits but no runs across two innings. Binghamton's offense managed only four hits as the Rumble Ponies struck out seven times. Nick Lorusso accounted for half the team's hits with a 2-for-4 line that included a triple. Eli Serrano III drew a walk and singled, while Kevin Parada singled and walked. The Rumble Ponies plated a run in the bottom of the fifth on Matt Rudick's RBI groundout that scored TT Bowens, and Lorusso tripled in the seventh to set up Diego Mosquera's run-scoring fielder's choice for the second tally.

Pena, Benson, And Gordon Power St. Lucie To 6-2 Win St. Lucie poured it on with a five-run fourth inning and held off Lakeland late to win 6-2 on the road, capping an effort with strong pitching and a pair of home runs. R.J. Gordon set the tone with two scoreless, hitless innings to open, walking none and striking out four to put the Mets in firm control from the jump. St. Lucie scratched out the first run in the top of the second when JT Benson tripled to left, and Chase Meggers brought him home with a single up the middle. The Mets blew the game open in the fourth: AJ Salgado led off with a single, Benson followed with a two-run homer to left-center to make it 3-0, Meggers doubled, Sam Robertson reached on an error, and Elian Peña launched a three-run home run to right that pushed the lead to 6-0. Gordon and Ryan Dollar combined for four hitless innings to start, and Jorge De Leon picked up the win with one and one-third hitless innings of two-strikeout, one-walk relief. Joe Scarborough fanned one in a clean inning, and Daviel Hurtado worked two scoreless innings with four strikeouts. Tyler McLoughlin allowed both Lakeland runs in two-thirds of an inning during the bottom of the seventh, surrendering three hits before being lifted. Benson finished 3-for-4 with a triple, a home run, and two RBI, scoring twice. Peña went 1-for-5 with the three-run blast and three RBI, while Meggers added a 2-for-4 line with a double and an RBI.

Daniel Duarte opened with two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and three walks while striking out two.

The Rumble Ponies could not cash in their chances, leaving the bases occupied repeatedly across the game's nine innings.

Three Mets pitchers held the Tarpons scoreless over the final four innings to preserve the comeback. The Mets scratched out two runs in the top of the second, when Julio Zayas walked, Sam Robertson singled to put runners at first and second, and Branny De Oleo doubled to left to drive in both. Tampa answered with three of its own in the bottom half, aided by two St. Lucie errors. The Tarpons added a run in each of the first, third, and fifth innings to push the lead to 6-2, with the early errors fueling much of the damage. The comeback began in the top of the sixth, when Randy Guzman singled, AJ Salgado walked, JT Benson singled to score Guzman, Chase Meggers singled to plate Salgado, and a third run scored on a fielder's choice. Two more came in the top of the eighth: Edward Lantigua reached on a hit-by-pitch, Guzman doubled to drive him in, and Zayas doubled to bring Guzman home for a 7-6 lead. Christian Rodriguez earned the win with three perfect, hitless innings of three-strikeout relief. Nicolas Carreño, Emilio Obispo, and Zack Mack handled the start and middle innings between them.

The Mets struck first in the top of the first when Edward Lantigua reached on a hit-by-pitch, and Randy Guzman drove him in with a sacrifice fly to left, but Tampa answered with a two-run bottom half on a leadoff baserunner reaching on a Branny De Oleo throwing error, an RBI single, and a deflected ground ball that allowed a second run to score. Tampa added single tallies in the second, third, and fifth to push the lead to 5-1. Jose Chirinos took the loss after four and one-third innings, allowing seven hits, five runs, two earned, two walks, and no home runs while striking out six. Elwis Mijares stabilized things with two and two-thirds innings of three-hit, scoreless relief, fanning one. Jorge De Leon worked a clean inning to close the staff's night. St. Lucie's only response after the first came in the top of the ninth, when Guzman singled to right, AJ Salgado popped out, Julio Zayas singled up the middle to bring Guzman home, and Chase Meggers grounded into a game-ending double play with the tying run on base. Guzman finished 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored, and a sacrifice fly, while Zayas added a 1-for-3 line with a walk and an RBI. Newly added Jamari Baylor went 1-for-3 from the bottom of the order, and Chase Meggers added the team's other hit. The Mets drew just one walk, struck out 10 times, and committed two errors that contributed to three of Tampa's runs being unearned.

The Mets' affiliates posted a 4-1 night with a Syracuse doubleheader sweep of Lehigh Valley. Jack Wenninger fired five and two-thirds shutout innings in the 7-0 opener, and Ben Rortvedt's walkoff single scored Jihwan Bae in a 4-3, nine-inning nightcap. Binghamton beat New Hampshire 6-3 behind Kevin Parada's three hits and a Ben Simon save, and Brooklyn edged Frederick 2-1 on Antonio Jimenez's steal of home. St. Lucie fell 8-5 in Tampa. Mets Transactions New York Mets designated RHP Carl Edwards Jr. for assignment. New York Mets placed CF Luis Robert Jr. on the 10-day injured list retroactive to April 27, 2026.

New York Mets recalled 1B Eric Wagaman from Syracuse Mets. Wenninger Spins Five-Plus Shutout Innings In Syracuse Romp Syracuse jumped on Lehigh Valley early and rode dominant pitching to a 7-0 win in the doubleheader opener. Christian Arroyo, hitting cleanup, went 3-for-4, and Jihwan Bae went 3-for-3 with a double and an RBI. Vidal Bruján added a double, two RBI, and a stolen base. The Mets opened the scoring in the bottom of the first, when A.J. Ewing led off with a hit, took third on Nick Morabito reaching base, and scored on Arroyo's single for an early 1-0 advantage. The decisive blow came in the bottom of the third, when an Arroyo single, a Bruján double aided by an IronPigs fielding error, and a Hayden Senger two-run single produced a four-run rally. Two more runs in the fifth came on a Bruján double and a Senger groundout. Jack Wenninger took the mound and dominated, holding Lehigh Valley to four hits across five and two-thirds innings while striking out seven, walking none, and allowing no runs. Jonathan Pintaro followed with one and one-third clean innings, fanning two without surrendering a baserunner to lock down the combined shutout. Ewing finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base, while Bae went a perfect 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI, and a run. Senger drove in two of his own. Ryan Clifford and Morabito were both held hitless but reached base. Syracuse drew just one walk, struck out six times, and stranded six runners, but capitalized on every Lehigh Valley mistake to roll to the win. Syracuse Hitting (Game 1) Player AB R H RBI BB K A.J.

Bae had been installed at second base as the zombie runner to start the bottom of the ninth, and a Cristian Pache sacrifice bunt advanced him to third before Rortvedt's heroics closed it out with two outs. The Mets opened the scoring in the bottom of the fourth, when Bruján singled, and Bae doubled him in. They added another run in the fifth on Ewing's single and a Nick Morabito double. Lehigh Valley pulled even with two runs in the top of the sixth before each side traded a zombie-aided run in the eighth, with a Bruján double driving home Morabito to lock things at 3-3. Daniel Duarte and Dan Hammer combined for four scoreless innings of one-hit pitching to open the game. Ryan Lambert spun a clean fifth, while Dylan Ross was charged with two earned runs in two-thirds of an inning during the sixth-inning Lehigh Valley rally. Alex Carrillo struck out four across one and one-third strong innings, and Mike Baumann earned the win with two innings of one-run, no-earned-run work that included two strikeouts and a walk while holding the zombie runner damage to a single tally in the eighth. Bruján, hitting cleanup, went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI, while Bae also went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and a stolen base. Ewing matched that 2-for-4 line at the top of the order, and Morabito went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base.

Kevin Parada, hitting cleanup, anchored the offense at 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base. TT Bowens added a 2-for-5 line with two doubles and a stolen base of his own. The Mets fell behind 1-0 in the bottom of the first on a leadoff home run, and the deficit grew to 2-0 when an extra-base hit and an RBI single in the third put the Fisher Cats up by two. Binghamton pulled one back in the top of the fourth on Parada's double, a Nick Lorusso single, a Matt Rudick walk, and a Wyatt Young sacrifice fly. The decisive frame came in the top of the fifth: Eli Serrano III and Chris Suero drew walks, Jose Ramos lashed an RBI single to plate Serrano, Parada singled in Suero, Bowens reached on a fielding error, and Rudick added a sacrifice fly to push the lead to 4-2. Brendan Girton allowed two runs across his four innings of work, surrendering a leadoff homer in the first and a run in the third while striking out three and walking none. Zach Peek and Douglas Orellana each tossed a clean inning, Matt Turner spun two scoreless frames in the middle while striking out four and walking two, and Ben Simon worked the ninth for the save, allowing one run on two hits. Binghamton padded the lead with two more runs in the eighth, when Young was hit by a pitch, Diego Mosquera singled, Serrano III drove Young home with a single, and Suero forced Mosquera home on a fielder's choice. Serrano III finished 1-for-3 with two walks, an RBI, and a run scored, and the Rumble Ponies drew eight walks while striking out 14 times in the win.

Irving Cota fired five scoreless innings to start, allowing two hits, walking two, and striking out three. Cristofer Gomez delivered two innings of one-run relief while fanning three, and Dakota Hawkins closed out the win with two clean frames that included two strikeouts and no walks. Frederick broke through first in the top of the sixth, when a leadoff walk and a single set up a sacrifice fly that put the Cyclones behind 1-0. Brooklyn answered in the bottom of the seventh: Daiverson Gutierrez doubled to lead off the inning, Trace Willhoite drew a one-out walk, and Kevin Villavicencio lined a one-out double down the line that brought Gutierrez home to tie it. The eighth produced one of the more memorable plays of the night. Jimenez led off with a single, advanced to third on a John Bay groundout, and stole home during a Ronald Hernandez at-bat that ended in a strikeout, putting the Cyclones up 2-1. Hawkins handled the final two innings without trouble, locking down the one-run lead. Villavicencio finished 2-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI, the only multi-hit game on either side. Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and the run scored, and Bay added a double of his own. Brooklyn drew just one walk, struck out 10 times, and stranded five runners, but the pitching staff held Frederick to one run despite issuing three free passes to keep the Cyclones in front through the late frames.

The Mets jumped ahead 1-0 in the top of the first when Randy Guzman launched a two-out solo home run to left, but Tampa answered with a three-run bottom half on a leadoff hit-by-pitch, an RBI double, and a two-run home run. The Tarpons added three more in the second on three hits and a wild pitch, including a two-RBI single that pushed the lead to 6-1. R.J. Gordon was tagged with the loss after surrendering five earned runs on four hits in one and one-third innings, including the two-run home run during the second-inning rally. Joe Scarborough started and worked two scoreless innings, walking two but allowing only two singles. Tyler McLoughlin followed with one and two-thirds innings of one-run, three-strikeout work, and Joel Lara wrapped up with three innings of two-run, two-strikeout relief. St. Lucie chipped away with single tallies in the third, fourth, and fifth, and added a final run in the top of the eighth on AJ Salgado's two-out solo home run. Sam Robertson, Elian Peña, and AJ Salgado all turned in multi-hit games. Robertson went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base, Peña went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored, and Salgado finished 2-for-4 with the home run, an RBI, and two runs scored. Guzman, hitting third, went 2-for-3 with the early home run, an RBI, and two walks. Newly recalled Jamari Baylor went hitless but drew a walk in his three trips. The Mets out-hit Tampa 10-9 but committed early defensive mistakes that proved costly.

This is an interesting idea. We're upgrading software around the ASB, I'll check to see if this is an option.

We will, and I'll put it at a discounted price for all of you. Expect to see it in the next week or so, I've just been really busy getting other stuff set up.

And I take full responsibility for this.

What happens as you're typing? Does it take you out of the reply window or something? I'm unclear on what exactly is happening to ruin the post.

Sure, I can hide that widget until we get some users blogging.

We're pretty close to functional. Ads are running, videos are live, and we're building out the writing corps. In the coming months, we'll roll out the annual features, like the draft tracker and whatnot. I've said in the past that in the first year, my goal is mostly keeping the lights on. In year two, that's when we try to start making real gains. So, now that you're all more comfortable with the site, what things do you like? What don't you like? Any and all feedback is appreciated. BTW, my biggest open ticket is still restoring the old posts from previous installs of the forums. Our primary dev keeps getting pulled off it, but we'll get to it as soon as we can.

All four Mets affiliates that took the field came up short. Binghamton dropped both ends of a doubleheader at New Hampshire, 8-2 and 5-3, with Jose Ramos driving in two runs in the nightcap. Brooklyn was shut out 5-0 at home by Frederick. St. Lucie fell twice to Tampa, including a 7-6 walkoff in extras. JT Benson clubbed a three-run homer, while Frank Camarillo struck out seven and Joander Suarez fanned four. Syracuse was postponed. Mets Transactions New York Mets signed free agent SS Jamari Baylor to a minor league contract. New York Mets sent LF Tommy Pham outright to Syracuse Mets. Syracuse Postponed The Syracuse Mets' scheduled game was postponed. No box score information is available. Watson Roughed Up Early As Binghamton Drops Opener Binghamton grabbed an early lead but watched it disappear in two ugly innings, falling 8-2 to the New Hampshire Fisher Cats in the front end of a doubleheader. Eli Serrano III, Jacob Reimer, and Kevin Parada drew walks against the Fisher Cats' starter to load the bases in the top of the first, and Nick Lorusso lashed a one-RBI single to left to score Serrano. TT Bowens later drove in the second run before the inning closed with the Rumble Ponies up 2-0. The lead lasted exactly one half-inning. Will Watson surrendered three runs in the bottom of the second on three hits and a pair of walks, then yielded another four runs in the third on a single hit and additional walks, with one of those runs scoring after a Binghamton fielding error. Watson took the loss after three innings of work, allowing four hits, seven runs, six earned, four walks, and three strikeouts. Jefry Yan steadied things with two innings of one-run, three-hit relief while striking out two, and Felipe De La Cruz finished with a clean inning that included two strikeouts. Lorusso paced the offense at 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI, while Wyatt Young singled and stole a base. Reimer drew two walks of his own as the Rumble Ponies finished with six free passes but stranded seven runners across the seven-inning game. Diego Mosquera added a single in his only hit of the contest.

Eli Serrano III walked, Jacob Reimer singled, and after a Chris Suero ground out moved both runners up, Jose Ramos delivered a two-run single to put the Rumble Ponies in front. Binghamton tacked on another run in the top of the fourth, when Wyatt Young singled and Serrano III drove him in with a double for a 3-2 lead. Joander Suarez held the Fisher Cats to two earned runs across four and two-thirds innings, allowing three hits and three walks while striking out four. He left in the bottom of the fifth with two outs and runners on, and Brian Metoyer was tagged with the loss after surrendering three earned runs in his lone third of an inning. Metoyer walked three of the four batters he faced and yielded a two-run single before recording his only out. Saul Garcia pitched a clean sixth, fanning one. Reimer led the Binghamton offense at 2-for-4 with a double, and Ramos finished 1-for-1 with two RBI and three walks despite seeing only a handful of strikes. Serrano III added a 1-for-3 line with a double, an RBI, and a walk. The Rumble Ponies drew seven walks on the night and stranded nine runners but could not solve the New Hampshire bullpen after Suarez departed.

The Mets squandered a bases-loaded chance in the sixth that ended on a popout and a flyout, the closest they came to a run all night. Starter Joel Diaz held the Keys scoreless through three before unraveling. Frederick pushed across a single run in the top of the fourth, then broke the game open with a four-run fifth that featured two long balls. Diaz took the loss after four and two-thirds innings of work, allowing six hits, five earned runs, three walks, and two home runs while striking out four. Joe Charles delivered two innings of one-hit relief with two strikeouts, Hunter Hodges followed with a clean inning that included two walks but no runs, and Hoss Brewer finished with one and one-third scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out two. Mitch Voit was the Cyclones' best offensive contributor at 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, the only multi-hit game of the night. Antonio Jimenez doubled in his lone hit, and Colin Houck added a double of his own. Daiverson Gutierrez and Sam Biller combined to strike out five times, and Biller alone fanned four times in four trips. Brooklyn drew walks in three different innings and stranded eight runners as Frederick's bullpen slammed the door.

The Mets had grabbed control with a four-run sixth, when Elian Peña doubled to center, Randy Guzman reached on a fielding error, and Julio Zayas singled to plate two. After AJ Salgado advanced Zayas to third on a groundout, JT Benson launched a three-run home run to right-center to push the lead to 4-1. Frank Camarillo struck out seven across five innings of work in his start, allowing three hits, three earned runs, and one walk while surrendering one home run. Christian Rodriguez took over and was charged with a blown save after allowing two earned runs over two innings. Elwis Mijares was hit with the loss in the bottom of the eighth: with the zombie runner placed at second base, an opposing flyout moved him to third, a single tied the game, and following a catcher interference call by Julio Zayas that put runners on the corners, a line single to center plated the winning run with one out. Mijares' final line was one third of an inning, two hits, two runs, one earned, and no walks or strikeouts. Peña paced the offense at 2-for-4 with a double and a run, while Salgado went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases. Zayas drove in two on his single, and Branny De Oleo added a double of his own. St. Lucie out-hit Tampa 8-7 but committed two errors and stranded five runners, including the bases loaded once. Benson's three-run homer accounted for half of the team's six runs.

Tampa scored in four consecutive innings against starter Conner Ware to build a 4-1 lead, and a two-run sixth off relief proved too much for the Mets to overcome despite a three-run rally in the top of the seventh. Ware surrendered five hits, four earned runs, two walks, and one home run across his four innings, striking out three before being lifted. Miguel Mejias allowed a single run on a hit and a walk in his lone inning, and Zack Mack absorbed the bulk of the late damage with one inning that included five hits, two runs, and one home run, recording no strikeouts and issuing no walks. The seventh-inning rally was led by Edward Lantigua, who doubled in two runs, and Francisco Toledo, who launched a solo home run to account for the third run of the frame. Elian Peña doubled and drew a walk, finishing 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. Newly signed free agent Jamari Baylor singled and scored a run in his first appearance after inking a minor league contract earlier in the day.
