Mets Minor League Report: April 14, 2014

MMLR Player of the Day: St. Lucie LF Maikis De La Cruz
I must say that I was tempted to violate my principles and give the award to Chris Young, following up his 5-5, 2HR day yesterday with a 2-2 thus far tonight, giving him 7 straight hits to start his rehab assignment. But it is not to be.

　
Las Vegas (9-3) beats Fresno (4-8) 5-2

A solid start for Noah Syndergaard. 5.0 IP, 2 R, 5 H, (HR) 2 BB, 5 K.
Joel Carreno pitched a perfect 6^th inning, (K) then allowed only a hit and a walk, and another K in the 7^th.
Even more important, LHRP Josh Edgin with another scoreless inning.
3rd save for Jeff Walters.

Offensive stats are only through 7 innings.
