Catch up on all the Mets prospects in yesterday’s minor league action!
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (3-6)
LEHIGH VALLEY 7, SYRACUSE 2 (BOX)
The bullpen really let the Syracuse Mets down, as things were competitive early on. The two teams traded the lead a few times, with the IronPigs taking a narrow 3-2 lead going into the later innings. That changed in the bottom of the eighth when Genesis Cabrera loaded up the bases and Carlos Guzman let them all come home, and then some. The Mets tallied 9 hits and drew 4 walks, so they had plenty of opportunities to score more, but it just wasn’t to be.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (1-0)
POSTPONED (INCLEMENT WEATHER)
High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (4-0)
BROOKLYN 7, HUDSON VALLEY 3 (BOX)
The Cyclones remain undefeated in 2025, topping the Yankees’ High-A affiliate 7-3. R.J. Gordon, wearing number 99, made his professional debut and was decent, allowing a pair of runs over four-plus innings. Eli Serrano had another strong performance at the plate, going 2-3 with a double and a homer, as did Christoper Suero, who added another double to his season’s total, and the bullpen looked solid, allowing a single run in 4.2 hitless innings. My favorite state of the game? The paid attendance was 121.

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (1-3)
LAKELAND 6, ST. LUCIE 4 (BOX)
Finding themselves behind by a run, the St. Lucie Mets came roaring back in the fourth inning, scoring three runs on RBI singles by Jeremy Rodriguez and Collin Houck. They held on to the lead for a couple of innings, but things imploded in the bottom of the sixth. Edgar Moreta started the inning off with a HBP and it didn’t get better from there. All in all, he allowed five more runs before manager Luis Rivera called on Josh Blum to get the last out of the inning. St. Lucie got a bunch of opportunities to regain the lead- including loading up the bases with no outs in the ninth inning!- but were unable to cash in. Lost in the shuffle of bullpen blunders and LOBsters was a solid start by Will Watson. The right-hander got 9 swing-and-misses on 31 swings, his slider accounting for most of those. According to the preliminary post-game data, Wilson threw seven sliders, six of which elicited swings and five of which were swings-and-misses. That’ll do pig, that’ll do.
