Mets Minor League Report – May 17

Augusta (24-16) bombs Savannah (22-17) 11-0.

Nothing but lowlights for the Sand Gnats in this lopsided game. The Gnats were held to 1 hit by 3 Green Jackets pitchers, while all 3 Sand Gnats pitchers contributed to the slaughter.

Sand Gnat’s starter Robert Gsellman (L, 1-1) allowed 7 runs, only 2 of them earned, on 9 hits (HR) and a walk with 1 strikeout in 4.2 innings.

Reliever Julian Hilario gave up 3 runs on 3 hits and a walk in 2.0 innings, followed by Paul Sewald, who allowed a run on 2 hits in his 1.1 innings.

Leadoff hitter Yucary De La Cruz delivered the sole hit for the anemic Sand Gnats’ offense.

Bradenton (16-25) edges St Lucie (23-16) in walkoff fashion,5-4.

St. Lucie closer (or at least one of them) T.J. Chism (L, 0-2) just didn’t have it tonight, allowing the winning run to score on 3 hits in the bottom of the 9^th. This was the 2^nd consecutive night that Chism was the victim of a walkoff hit.

The biggest news of the night was that Jenrry Mejia made his season debut, pitching 3 innings.  Mejia gave up 2 ER on 5 H and 3 BB. Not a very auspicious start to Jenrry’s season, but at least it is a start. Mejia did get 6 strikeouts in his 3 innings.

Dustin Lawley: (2-4) had a home run (his 9^th) and a triple, 2RBI and 2 R.
