Jeff Walters (9.00 ERA) – 1 IP, 2 H, R, SO, 2 FO


Post-game recap: In what should be good news for future Mets relief help, Jeff Walters was assigned to the St. Lucie Mets prior to Tuesday night’s game, as he continues his comeback from 2014 Tommy John surgery. He allowed a run on a pair of hits and a sac fly in the 9th, but it’s good to see that his comeback is coming along - he was sitting 92-93 MPH, per the radio. The Mets would take a 1-0 lead in this game after their leadoff batter Champ Stuart hit a solo blast to start the bottom of the 1st. Charlotte jumped ahead with 3 runs in the 3rd, although two of the runs were unearned thanks to two St. Lucie errors. Taylor would allow a leadoff double in the 3rd before walking Braxton Lee to put runners on 1B and 2B. Charlotte attempted to sac bunt the runners over, but an E1 allowed everyone to be safe, and the bases were loaded with 0 outs. Kean Wong followed with a sac fly to LF, but then E5 left to two extra runs scoring the play – Perez cut the ball off to try for the runner advancing to 3B, but his throw sailed wide and went up the LF line. Perez made up for it by sparking a two run rally to tie the game in the 4th with a leadoff single. Dominic Smith followed with a single into CF, and then a throwing error from Lee allowed Perez to score while Smith ended up at 3B. After struggling in the 3rd inning, Taylor would retire the next 12 batters before allowing a leadoff single in the 8th. Charlotte would get the runner over on a sac bunt, and then got him in on a sac fly to take back the lead. The insurance run Walters allowed hurt, but it might’ve been a scoreless inning with a better decision from Cruzado in RF on that first hit – Mike Marjama hit a sinking liner towards RF and Cruzado went for the diving catch, but the ball dropping in front of him and got by, which allowed Marjama to end up at 3B. The first two Mets would reach in the bottom of the 9th, and a sac bunt got them both into scoring position, but then Stuart struck out, and McNeil popped out to end the game.

Post-game recap: The K-Mets used a couple of early rallies to build up a 6-1 lead against Greeneville in their series finale, and then the bullpen did a good job of protecting the lead in relief of starter Darwin Ramos. Ramos labored through the 1st inning, but limited the damage to just 1 run on a walk and a pair of singles. The Mets took the lead with two runs in the 2nd after the first two batters of the inning were walked. Luis Carpio provided the big hit in the frame, doubling home both runs with two outs after the Astros made a pitching change. The first 5 K-Mets batters would reach in the 3rd – Mazeika and Berrios singled, Knight walked to load the bases, Ortega singled home to, and then Rojas walked to reload the bases – and then Luis Carpio singled home two more runs with another two out hit. Ramos finished his night with a mixed 5th inning, as he’d allow two runs on a single and two doubles, but recorded all 3 outs on strikeouts of the swinging variety. Nuez took over for Ramos in the 6th and allowed a homerun to the first batter he’d face, but then worked around a pair of singles in the 7th, and finished his night with a 1-2-3 8th. Taylor Henry had a dominant 9th inning, striking out 2 of the 3 Greeneville batters to close out the game and the series sweep.





GCL Mets 7-5


@GCL Cardinals (4-8) at 12:00 PM
Yesterday: L 7-1
Today: PPD (Rain)




Minors MVP of the Day – Xorge Carrillo hasn’t been hitting as much as he did in 2014 this year (big BABIP dropoff so far, but improved ISO/BB%), but he’s been great behind the plate, and had a huge night at the plate Tuesday.

Minors Cy of the Day – Both Seth Lugo and Darin Gorski were great, but Gorski picked up 10 K’s in the night-cap for Las Vegas – Bowman and Gorski combined to give most of the 51s pen a second straight night off.
