Minors MVP of the Day – Matt Reynolds had two triples, which is very uncommon, and had a nice day in the field playing SS Sunday afternoon (Gavin Cecchini was at DH for a partial rest day).

Matt Reynolds two triples and a nice play from the seventh

Minors Cy of the Day – Sean Gilmartin provided arguably the second best start of the year within the Mets farm system - that McIlraith nono is going to stand most of the year - and might've been allowed to go 9 if it were June.
