 Francisco Pena went 2-4, scoring one of the Mets runs. Blake Forsythe scored the other Mets’ run while going hitless, getting on base with a walk. Both Pena and Forsythe scored on Danny Muno’s 2 RBI single in the 7^th inning.

St Lucie committed 5 errors, 2 by Alonzo Harris, and one each by Muno, Vaughn and Ceciliani.

Las Vegas (10-8) @ Colorado Springs (10-7) postponed - cold.

Perhaps we needed this umpiring crew in Denver last week.
