            Check out yesterday’s results here.

            ICYMI, Rafael Montero was awarded the PCL Pitcher of the Week for his efforts last week and was also officially promoted to start for the Mets tonight. Seems like a perfect time to promote him, as he had two great starts in a row: 14.2 IP, 4 H, 17 SO: 4 BB.

            Lynn Worth (@PSBLynn) provides a B-Mets Scouting Report for their upcoming series against the Erie Seawolves.

            The St. Lucie Mets and Fort Myers Miracle will be finishing their June 26 matchup before their regularly scheduled game today. This is noteworthy because it is believed to mark the first time two teams will start and end their game in two different home stadiums: it started at Hammond Stadium and will end at JetBlue Park.

            Sean Cunningham wrote about Dominic Smith’s power at Amazin’ Avenue.

            Toby Hyde did his Minor Leaguer Hot/Not for August.
