Mets Minor League Report: May 5, 2014

MMLR Players of the Day: Savannah Relievers Akeel Morris & Robert Coles


Las Vegas (21-9) tops Tacoma (14-13) 7-5, completing suspended game.


　
Rafael Montero pitched well but will get a no-decision: 5.0 IP, 3 R, 2 ER, 3 H, 3 BB, 6 K.
Jeff Walters (BS, 2) (W, 2-1) faltered, blew the save but got the win: 1.0 IP, 2 R, 3 H, BB, K.
Vic Black (S, 2) was perfect in the bottom of the 7^th. (K)

Wilmer Flores continues his climb: 1-3, HR, BB, 3 RBI, R. (AVG up to .290)
Brandon Allen: 2-2, HR, 2 BB, RBI, 2 R.
Andrew Brown: 1-3, HR, BB, 3 RBI, R.

　

Las Vegas (21-10) falls to Tacoma (15-13) 3-2 in regularly scheduled game.

Noah Syndergaard, with a quality start, was nevertheless a bit too hittable and walked more than he should: 5.2 IP, R, 7 H, 3 BB, 8 K.
Josh Edgin didn’t do any harm, giving up a hit and a walk in 0.1 innings.
Miguel Socolovich: 2.0 IP, 0 R, 2 H.
Jeff Walters, (BS, 3) (L, 2-2) for the 2^nd night in a row, blew a save, this time coming away with the loss. Walters gave up 2 runs on 3 hits and 2 walks without getting an out in the 9^th inning. (Doesn’t anyone take a pitcher out when it is obvious that he doesn’t have it after facing 2 or 3 batters?)

Eric Campbell (0-2, R) scored the 51’s first run after walking, taking 3^rd on a Wilmer Flores (1-4) single, and coming home on a Nick Franklin error, attempting to force Flores on Allan Dykstra’s (0-3, RBI) grounder.
Taylor Teagarden scored the go ahead run on a solo home run, his team leading 7^th, in the top of the 9^th inning. It was to no avail after Walters unravelled in the bottom of the inning.

　

　

New Hampshire (13-16) stymies Binghamton (14-13) 5-0.

Tyler Pill (L 0-5) pitched well enough to get his first win, but instead got his fifth loss when the Mets faiked to score: 5.0 IP, 3 R, 1 ER, 3 H, (HR) BB, 3 K.
John Church: 1.2 IP, H, K.
T.J. Chism: 1.1 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 2 K.

Matt Reynolds: 2-3, BB.

　

　
St. Lucie (18-13) stops Charlotte (15-16) 5-2.

Gabriel Ynoa (W, 3-2) was back on track: 6.0 IP, 2 R, 6 H, 2 BB, 3 K.
Paul Sewald, dominant as usual, but for some reason having difficulty finding the plate so far in this short season: 1.0 IP, BB, 4 K. (ERA down to 0.61)
Beck Wheeler (S, 3) could hardly be better: 2.0 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 4 K.

Although Dilson Herrera, Brandon Nimmo and T.J. Rivera all had o-fers tonight, others came through.
Jairo Perez: 2-3, 2B, 3B, 3 R, SB.
Cam Maron: 0-2, 2 BB, RBI, 2 R.
Aderlin Rodriguez: 2-4, RBI.

　

　
Savannah (20-9) rips Rome (9-22) 5-1.

Kevin McGowan was a little shaky: 5.2 IP, R, 0 ER, 6 H, 4 BB, 5 K.
Akeel Morris (W, 3-0) continues his hot run: 1.2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 2 BB, 2 K.
Robert Coles (S, 5) follows suit: 1.2 IP, 0 R, 2 H.
Both Morris and Coles are unscored upon so far this season.

Gavin Cecchini: 2-5, 2B, 2 RBI.
Stefan Sabol: 2-3, HR, BB, RBI, 2 R.
Dominick Smith: 2-3, BB, R. (This was Smith‘s 6^th multi hit game in his last 10, during which time he has now raised his average 81 points to .245.)
