Full post-game recap

Minors MVP of the Day – T.J. Rivera reached base 5 times with 2 doubles Monday night after the Mets called up struggling Matt Reynolds.

Minors Cy of the Day – Duane Below may never pitch in the majors for the Mets, but he could do exactly what Sean Gilmartin does if some team gives him the chance.
