Now Here's the Scoop: 

Las Vegas went with Logan Verrett tonight, who entered the contest at 3-1, 2.93. He ran into an old nemesis in the first, MR. LONG BALL,as he surrendered a 3 run bomb. Add another run and he allowed 4 runs in his 4 inning outing.  Brandon went 2-4, but it was Brandon Allen, folks, not Brandon Nimmo, who went 0 for 4 (.143).

 
Binghseasons Seth Lugo provided intrigue coming into tonight's game.  Could the man with the 3.20 ERA coming in, and just 1 earned run in his latest 4 starts, keep firing? Nope, 6 runs in 5.2 IP (4 in 1st). Morris 2 scoreless IP.

 

St Lucie has run into a lot of rain problems of late, something that evicerated the Queens Mets on Thursday.

Miller Diaz and Logan Taylor were tonight's starters, with both trying to take advantage of 3 starter departures (Meisner, Gant, Whelan) to show that they are as every bit as good as those 3. Miller allowed 2 earned and 2 unearned in 5 IP, with 7 K's, but got tagged with the loss. Phil Evans singled and doubled.

In game 2, Matt Oberste burst Clearwater's bubble in Game 2 with a 3 run pop. Taylor went 5.1 IP, allowing 1 run. 5 out perfection from Kyle Regnault to close it out.  In each of the 7 inning games, each team totaled 6 hits.

 
Savannah had Knapp Night tonight, with Ricky Knapp (5-2, 2.83) on the mound.  I for one love naps, and I'll sleep soundly tonite after his 7 IPs of 3 runs (0 earned) pitching.  
Becerra (.296) had double #20. Red hot Michael Katz (.280) had 3 hits & 2 RBIs (35 in 34 games).  Pat Biondi (3 hits, .295).

 
Brooklyn hoped to sweeten their record while taking on a Batavia squad that is 11 games below .500 already. Easy. 

Gaby Almonte threw 6 fine innings. And Conlon, Taylor and Palsha each have 0.00 ERAs almost 40 games into the season, spanning 37.2 IP, just 14 H and 37 K from the trio. 

Brosher (2-3, .194, RBI), and Hilario is only at .146 but his 2 RBIs tonight give him 9 ribs for the season in 41 ABs.

Kingsport found itself on the road in lovely Greeneville tonight. The tough Nabil Crismatt going for the K Mets. Tough again, with 6 strong innings of 2 run, 6 K ball. 
Seth Davis' first pro run allowed led to a 10th inning loss.  
Ivan Wilson went 2-3, .224.

 
GCL Mets took on the hometown Cardinals today, hoping for no rain. NO RAIN! Solid pitching, 3 hits by Ricardo Cespedes, Desmond Lindsay a hit and BB. Nice 20-14 mark.

 DSL METS 1:  4 errors and a 6 run loss.

DSL METS 2: A 9-0 shutout!  Nice.
