Mets Minor League Report – June 30

Las Vegas (43-38) trips Tacoma (48-36) 4-1.

Another gem, this time by starter Matt Fox: 6.0 IP, 0 R, 3 H, BB, 6 K.

Greg Burke (S, 3) closed it out with a perfect 1.1 innings of work.

Eric Campbell: 2-3, 2B, BB, 2 RBI.

Ike Davis was 1-3, 2B, BB, 2 R.

Binghamton (50-29) tops Trenton (41-40) 5-4.

Noah Syndergaard outpitches Michael Pineda:  5.0 IP, R, 4 H, (HR) 2 BB, 9 K. Coming along very well at AA.

Jim Fuller, (BS, 1) (W, 1-0) blew the save, allowing 3 R on 3 H, but gets the W when the B-Mets offense picks him up .

Pedro Feliciano pitched 1 inning: 0 R, H, BB. Since his promotion to AA Binghamton, Perpetual Pedro, in 6 G, 5.2 IP, has not allowed a run, (ERA = 0.00 for the mathematically challenged) with 4 K and a WHIP of 0.53. He may be on the doorstep of Citifield pretty soon.

Jeff Walters (S, 20) got his league leading 20^th save, 5 more than his nearest competitor.

Cesar Puello: 2-4, HR, 3 RBI, R. What a career season Puello is having. He is leading the Eastern League with 16 HR and SLG with .623, 2^nd only to teammate Allan Dykstra in OPS and also 2^nd in batting average.

Richard Lucas: 2-4, HR, RBI, 2 R.

Fort Myers (50-27) socks St Lucie (41-37) 4-1 (completed after 6 innings – rain).

Rainy Lara: (L, 2-3) 5.0 IP, 3 R, 2 ER, 6 H, BB, 4 K.

T.J. Rivera: 2-3, 2B, R.

Matt den Dekker: 1-3, 2B, RBI.

Savannah (48-31) edges Rome (39-41) 2-1 in 10 innings.

A bases loaded, 2 out single by Cole Frenzel in the bottom of the 10^th gives the Sand Gnats the win.

Luis Cessa: 6.2 IP, R, 7 H, (HR) BB, 3 K.

 Paul Sewald: 2.1 IP, 0 R, H, 0 BB, 3 K.

Beck Wheeler (W, 1-4) pitched a perfect top of the 10^th for the victory.

Brandon Nimmo: 3-5, R.  Nimmo is making a late push to make the Futures All-Star Team.

Brooklyn (5-8) loses a tough one to Hudson Valley (10-4) 1-0 in 11 innings.

Robert Gsellman was exceptional for 8.0 innings: 0 R, 4 H, 0 BB, 4 K.

John Mincone (L, 1-1) was even better for 2.0 innings, allowing only a BB. His undoing came when he was asked to pitch a 3^rd inning of relief, and gave up a leadoff 2B that later came around to score.

Jorge Rivero: 2-4, 2B.

Elizabethton (9-2) knocks off Kingsport (3-8) 5-1.

Chris Flexen (L, 0-1) faltered: 4 IP, 5 R, 7 H, (3 HR) 2 BB, 3 K.

The K-Mets need to start making some noise, offensively.
