St. Lucie jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the 1st,
and held on tightly for most of the game, only extending their lead to 6-3 with
two outs in the 7th. Jeff McNeil got his big day started with a bunt
single in the 1st, and then the Mets loaded the bases for suddenly
hot Dominic Smith. Smith delivered the only way he knows how, with a double,
this one lined off the base of the LF wall to clear the bases. Lexington would
scratch out a run in the 2nd and two in the 3rd to make
it a 4-3 game, but then Miller Diaz found some control and locked things down
through the 6th. Mike Hepple was summoned to protect the one run
lead with two on and two outs in the 6th, but would load the bases
with a walk to the first batter he faced. He’d escape the bases loaded jam when
the next batter to hit a fly ball to the most reliable outfielder behind him,
Champ Stuart, and then stuck around for a 1-2-3 7th. After two walks
and a force out, Jeff McNeil’s fourth hit of the game would bring home the
first insurance run in the 7th, and then two walks later, the Mets
had another insurance run. Josh Smoker came in and continued to be extremely
impressive with St. Lucie after a less than stellar stint with Savannah,
striking out 5 of the 7 batters he faced.

Brad Wieck keeps getting better in the SAL, throwing one of
his best starts against Asheville for an ‘easy’ 5-1 Sand Gnats victory. Wieck
struck out the first batter of the game, but then allowed the next three
batters to reach (single, RBI double down the LF line, walk), as the Tourists
jumped out to a 1-0 lead. Wieck would retire the next 15 Asheville batters in a
row, and Savannah had a 5-1 lead by the time another Tourist touched 1B safely.
The Sand Gnats didn’t let Asheville hold a lead for long, scoring two in the
first. Johnson led off with a single, and two batters later JC would lay down a
sac bunt to put runners on 2B and 3B with one out. A Eudor Garcia fly out
wasn’t deep enough to get a run in, but two runs scored while Becerra was
batting: Johnson on a wild pitch, and then Becerra singled Guillorme home. A
Guillorme walk got the 3rd inning rally going for Savannah, and he’d
score without the help of a Savannah batter: wild pitch advanced him to 2B,
throwing error on the pickoff attempt moved him to 3B, and another wild pitch
brought him home. The Gnats would draw two more walks in the frame, which
allowed Tomas Nido to come up with two on and two outs. He’d clear the bases
with a double to LF after an Asheville pitching change. Wieck would allow two
singles in the 6th, but he followed that with two strikeouts,
stranding runners on the corners. He reached his pitch count with two outs in
the 7th, so Jimmy Duff finished the frame and handled the 8th.
Becerra added his ninth double of the year leading off the 8th, and
then David Roseboom worked around a couple of base runners to finish the game
in the 9th.
Minors MVP of the Day
– Aderlin Rodriguez had a huge day on the same day it was announced he would be
returning to full-time duty at 1B for Binghamton (David Cooper retired).
Minors Cy of the Day
– Steven Matz was so good that Wally Backman had to take him out after 77 pitches
to get his bullpen some work. Mm Mm Mm Matz! Can’t wait until the Mets make
room for him at the big league level, although they’d have no depth behind him.
