Minors MVP of the Day – Gavin Cecchini’s huge day at the plate was an easy winner, as each of his 4 hits knocked in a run for Binghamton.

Minors Cy of the Day – Logan Taylor had a pair of hiccups recently, but he’s been a consistent pitcher for the St. Lucie Mets since early May: he’s thrown at least 5.2 IP in 11 of 13 starts (79.2 IP total since May 7^th), with a 3.62 ERA during that span.
