Gif Highlights:

            The pitching tandem of Valdez and Gaither Bumgardner both struggled against Staten Island on Saturday night, putting the Cyclones in a hole that was too big to get out of. Below are the top Cyclones highlights of the game. The MiLB.tv coverage was better than the last time that the Cyclones played in Staten Island, but not for every pitch.

            Joe Tuschak leads off the game with a single.

            After Amed Rosario reached on an error, Urena drove in Tuschak with this RBI single.

            Juan Urbina had to relieve Valdez in the 1^st inning and stayed on for the 2^nd. He’d managed one strikeout, of Anthony Chavez looking.

            Urena hit a one-out double in the top of the 3^rd, but was stranded there.

            Amed Rosario got four groundball chances at SS in the field, the first three came in the 5^th and 6^th innings:

He handled this groundout to end the 5^th.

            The Mets 6^th round pick from the 2014 draft, Tyler Moore, followed the blast with this single up the middle.

            The Mets 22^nd round pick from the 2014 draft, Will Fulmer, made his debut for the Cyclones, striking out both times. I had never seen Fulmer, but here is tape of him swinging (and missing).

            Rosario almost made the play on this grounder into the hole off the bat of Devyn Bolasky leading off the 7^th.

            The Mets 7^th round pick from the 2014 draft, Brad Wieck, would strike out the side in the 7^th, but only one of the strikeouts was gifable. Wieck got Renzo Martini to strikeout looking for the first out of the inning.
