Syracuse roars out to big lead, loses it late in 10-9 loss at Rochester on Tuesday night Syracuse, NY – The Syracuse Mets jumped out to an 8-1 lead on Tuesday night, but a late comeback saw the Rochester Red Wings (Triple-A Washington Nationals) beat the Mets, 10-9, to kick off their week-long series at Frontier Field. Syracuse (6-12) plated the game’s first two runs right out of the shoot, when Carlos Rincon blasted a two-run home run over the center-field fence. The homer brought home Wyatt Young, who had walked earlier in the inning. Rincon had not recorded an extra-base hit this season prior to his booming blast to push the Mets to an early 2-0 advantage. Rochester (10-9) got a run back in the bottom of the first. Dee Strange-Gordon, in the midst of an MLB rehab assignment, walked to start the frame, moved to second on a Luis Garcia single, and then on to third via a Jake Noll walk. Strange-Gordon finally came home on an RBI groundout by Josh Palacios later on in the bottom of the first to make it a 2-1 ballgame. From there, Syracuse went on a scoring binge. The Mets scored the next six runs, with three in the second and three more in the fourth. Syracuse manufactured its runs in the second, plating the three runs on just two hits. Two singles, three walks, a wild pitch, and two separate RBI groundouts got the three tallies home. Quinn Brodey and Nick Plummer had the RBI groundouts, while Nick Meyer scampered home on the wild pitch as Syracuse took a 5-1 advantage. The fourth was more conventional, as the Mets used a couple of big hits to bring three more runs home. Daniel Palka had an RBI double in the frame to score Wyatt Young, while Travis Blankenhorn slashed a single into left field later in the inning to score Palka. Plummer had scored earlier in the inning via another wild pitch. Palka was making his return to Rochester, as he played with the Red Wings during the 2021 season. All-in-all the Mets had an 8-1 lead after the fourth inning. After that, Rochester began to chip away. First, the Red Wings scored twice in the fifth when Luis Garcia lifted a two-run home run over the right-field wall to trim the Syracuse lead to five, 8-3. Then, the Red Wings officially put their comeback effort on notice with a four-run barrage in the seventh inning. Josh Palacios singled home the first Red Wings run of the inning to make it an 8-4 game. The biggest blow of the frame came when Donovan Casey hit a three-run homer just barely over the left-center field wall to pull Rochester within one, 8-7. Initially, it was ruled a two-run double before the umpires converged and changed their call to a home run. The home team completed its furious rally with a power display in the bottom of the eighth. A no-doubt homer to left field with one out by Tres Barrera knotted up the game, 8-8, followed by Alfredo Rodriguez reaching on an error to put the potential go-ahead run on base. It was Garcia time again after that as he launched a booming drive over the right-center field wall to give Rochester a 10-8 lead they would never give up. Garcia was a man possessed at the plate on Tuesday night, going 4-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored, and four runs driven in. To Syracuse’s credit, the Mets refused to quit. Syracuse began the top of the ninth with a double by Rincon, who moved to third on a groundout by Blankenhorn. Rincon then trotted home on another groundout by Mark Vientos. However, the comeback effort was squelched there, as Carlos Cortes popped out to end the game and give Rochester a memorable comeback win. While the Red Wings offense grabs the headlines in the come-from-behind win, their bullpen is not to be forgotten. Sterling Sharp, Erik Manoah Jr. and Jordan Weems combined to pitch the final six innings of the game, allowing just one run on three hits and zero walks while racking up five strikeouts. Sharp was particularly excellent. The Michigan native worked four scoreless innings, surrendering just two hits and two walks with four strikeouts. Syracuse continues its six-game series at the Rochester Red Wings on Wednesday night. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m.

Syracuse completes masterful week with comeback 4-2 win over Worcester on Sunday afternoon Syracuse, NY – The Syracuse Mets finished a winning week at NBT Bank Stadium in style, rallying back to grab a 4-2 win over the Worcester Red Sox on a sunny, mid-70-degree day in the Salt City in front of an electric crowd of 5,569. With the win, the Mets won five out of the six games they played this week against the Red Sox. Syracuse (6-11) trailed Worcester, 2-1, going into the bottom of the eighth inning, but the Mets finally broke through against the WooSox bullpen. Nick Dini walked to start the frame and was pinch run for by Quinn Brodey. Syracuse then put on a perfectly timed hit-and-run, allowing Wyatt Young to chop a single into left field and advance Brodey all the way to third base. The next batter, Nick Plummer, brought the crowd at NBT Bank Stadium to its feet on a sunny Sunday. The former first-round pick pummeled a no-doubt, three-run home run over the right-field wall, giving Syracuse a 4-2 lead. Plummer now has two home runs with Syracuse on the young season and made his MLB debut with the New York Mets last week. In the top of the ninth, Worcester (10-8) brought the tying run to the plate, but Syracuse turned a 4-6-3 double play to end the game, securing the 4-2 victory. Mets reliever Alex Claudio locked the game down in the eighth and ninth innings with two scoreless frames. The left-hander allowed just one baserunner and had one strikeout. Despite the Syracuse win, Worcester got out to another early lead. Fresh off a win on Saturday night, the WooSox got right back to work early on Sunday afternoon, plating the first run of the ballgame in the top of the second. After a groundout to start the inning, Yolmer Sánchez singled, moved to third on a double by Ryan Fitzgerald, and scored on an RBI groundout by Johan Mieses. Sánchez was outstanding at the plate in the six-game series, going 6-for-19 with four runs driven in and three runs scored. Syracuse bounced right back and tied the game in the bottom of the second inning. The Mets got a one-out double from Travis Blankenhorn, and after a Mark Vientos strikeout, Blankenhorn scored via a single from Khalil Lee. Lee has now reached base in seven straight games. The Red Sox regained their slim lead in the top of the third inning. Worcester was gifted two errors by the Mets early in the frame, allowing Grant Williams to take third with nobody out. He promptly scored when the next batter, Jarren Duran, singled into right field, giving the Red Sox a 2-1 advantage. From there, the pitching took hold for both teams until the late innings. The Red Sox and Mets held each other off the board until the bottom of the eighth inning with excellent work out of the bullpen. Rob Zastryzny was masterful for Syracuse, tossing two scoreless and hitless relief innings with four strikeouts. Not to be lost amidst all the other details in Sunday afternoon’s game, Mike Montgomery was more than solid in his start for the Mets. The left-hander allowed just two runs, but only one earned, in five innings of work, surrendering just four hits without walking anybody while striking out four. Montgomery now owns a 2.65 ERA in four Triple-A starts this season. Syracuse now hits the road for a six-game series at the Rochester Red Wings, beginning on Tuesday. Left-hander Thomas Szapucki is slated to start the series opener for the Mets on Tuesday night. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. in Rochester.

Syracuse rolls to fourth straight win with 13-3 triumph over Worcester on Friday night Syracuse, NY – The Syracuse Mets upped their winning streak to four games, scoring five runs in the first inning and never looking back en route to a 13-3 win over the Worcester Red Sox on a sunny Friday night at NBT Bank Stadium. The Mets have scored 23 combined runs in the past two games. Worcester (9-7) took its only lead of the night in the top of the first inning via two-out damage. Triston Casas doubled with two outs, promptly scoring when Christian Stewart followed with a line-drive single into right field. After that, Syracuse (5-10) went to work, plating five runs in the bottom of the first via some good, old-fashioned power. First, the Mets loaded the bases via a single, hit batter, and a walk with one out. Mark Vientos brought the first run home by way of a sacrifice fly, knotting the game up, 1-1. After another walk loaded the bags again, Carlos Cortes brought them all home with a grand slam home run that cleared the right-field wall with ease. It was the first home run of the season for the former South Carolina Gamecock as Syracuse jumped on top, 5-1. The WooSox inched back closer on a two-run homer from Yolmer Sánchez in the third, trimming the Mets lead to two, 5-3. Sánchez has been a thorn in the Mets’ side in this series. The former Gold Glover homered on Thursday night and finished Friday night’s game with a home run, a double and a walk. The Red Sox would not score again though. Syracuse pulled away by scoring the game’s final eight runs – one in the fourth, two in the fifth, one in the sixth, and four in the seventh. It’s the first time this season that the Mets have scored in four consecutive innings. Cortes brought home another tally in the fourth by way of an RBI double to give the Mets a 6-3 edge. The left-handed hitter had a remarkable night – he drove in five runs on a home run and a double, a new season-high. Daniel Palka brought the thunder in the fifth, hitting a two-run home run high into the night sky and over the right-field fence to extend the Syracuse advantage to five, 8-3. The infielder has been almost unstoppable at the plate this week. Palka has smashed three home runs and driven in ten total runs. Syracuse manufactured another run in the sixth, bringing a runner home without a hit. Quinn Brodey, Cody Bohanek, and Wyatt Young all walked leading off the inning, followed by a sacrifice fly from Nick Plummer that allowed Brodey to prance home for a 9-3 lead. The Mets put the cherry on top of their scoring sundae with a four-run bonanza in the seventh. Brodey had an RBI single to make it 10-3 and later came around to score on Bohanek’s three-run homer into the Syracuse bullpen in left-center field for a 13-3 advantage. The home team was incredibly efficient in their scoring on Friday night. Syracuse plated 13 runs on just nine hits, and three of those hits were home runs. Not to be lost amongst all the scoring, the pitching for the Mets was solid as well. Syracuse’s bullpen was particularly excellent. Colin Holderman, R.J. Alvarez, and Antonio Santos combined to work four and one-third scoreless innings out of the pen, allowing just three hits while striking out five batters in the process. The Mets pitchers have recorded 41 strikeouts in the first four games of the series. Syracuse and Worcester resume their six-game series on Saturday night at NBT Bank Stadium. Right-hander Félix Peña is slated to start for the Mets, opposed by left-hander Thomas Pannone for the Red Sox. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m.

Syracuse wins third straight game with roller-coaster 10-8 win over Worcester Syracuse, NY – The Syracuse Mets made it three straight wins to start their six-game series against the Worcester Red Sox, scoring early and often en route to a 10-8 victory over the Triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox at NBT Bank Stadium. Daniel Palka led the Mets with five RBIs and was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. Syracuse (4-10) roared out to a 5-0 lead after two innings. The home team manufactured its lone run in the bottom of the first inning without a hit. Wyatt Young walked to lead off the frame, moved to second on a wild pitch, advanced to third on a groundout, and scored on a Palka groundout that gave Syracuse a 1-0 edge. The second inning was more explosive for the Mets, scoring four times in the frame. All of the runs came with two outs. With Khalil Lee on first and two outs, Quinn Brodey launched a two-run homer over the fence in left-center field to give Syracuse a 3-0 lead. Later in the inning, Young and Cody Bohanek walked and then came home to score via a two-run single from Palka for a 5-0 Mets advantage. Three walks, a hit batter, and two hits proved to be the four-run formula for Syracuse in the second inning. After that, it was Worcester’s (9-6) turn to roar back. The Red Sox scored the game’s next five runs, plating a run in the third, three runs in the fourth, and another run in the top of the fifth to tie the game. The runs started with a solo home run from Yolmer Sánchez in the third – the former Gold Glover curled a line drive around the right-field foul pole and over the wall, his first home run of the series, trimming the Syracuse lead to four, 5-1. The WooSox got even closer in the fourth by way of another long ball, this one a three-run shot off the bat of Ryan Fitzgerald that scored Sánchez and Grant Williams to make it a 5-4 ballgame. Fitzgerald has five home runs on the young season. The Red Sox completed their early rally with another booming blast in the top of the fifth. This time, Triston Casas pounded a ball over the center-field fence, knotting the game up, 5-5. Casas, widely considered one of the top prospects in the Boston Red Sox system, did not have a hit in the series prior to his game-tying home run. Despite losing an early five-run lead, the Mets refused to blink. Syracuse motored ahead again for good, scoring once in the fifth and four more times in the sixth to put the game out of reach as two big blows by the Mets at the plate provided the knockout punch to the WooSox. In the bottom of the fifth, Palka launched a ball over the wall in right-center field, putting Syracuse back in front, 6-5. In the sixth, the left-handed hitter wasn’t done. Palka drove in one more run on a double, his fifth RBI of the evening. The former Chicago White Sox has driven in eight runs in the first three games of this week’s series. The biggest hit of the game, however, came off a different bat in the sixth inning. With the bases loaded and one out, Wyatt Young bounced a double down the third-base line, scoring Nick Dini, Jose Colina, and Bohanek to make it 9-5 and put the game essentially away. Young has played masterfully this week at NBT Bank Stadium. In three games, the Hawaii native has scored four runs, racked up four hits, walked four times, and driven in three runs. The game remained 10-5 into the top of the ninth inning, when Worcester refused to go quietly. Walks worked by Jeter Downs and Franchy Cordero put two runners on base with one out, promptly followed by a no-doubt, three-run home run from Christin Stewart into the WooSox bullpen in right-center field to make it a 10-8 game. The home run was Stewart’s first hit of the series. The Red Sox would eventually send the potential go-ahead run to the plate with runners on second and third with two outs in the ninth, but Syracuse would survive. Grant Williams blooped a pop-up into shallow left field, and Cody Bohanek made a twisting, sliding catch for the final out to secure the win for the Mets. Syracuse and Worcester continue their six-game series on Friday night at NBT Bank Stadium. Right-hander Connor Grey is slated to start for the Mets, opposed by left-hander Kyle Hart for the Red Sox. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m.

Matt Sauer allowed two unearned runs in 4.1 innings, striking out seven and not issuing a walk in his third start of the year. James Nelson had a good night at the plate, finishing 2-for-3 with an RBI. A BREEZE GROWS IN BROOKLYN: Hudson Valley pitchers combined to strike out 35 Brooklyn batters in the first two games of the current series, setting a new season-high for the staff on each night (17 Tuesday, 18 Wednesday).

In 2021, the Renegades struck out 408 Cyclones, a rate of 11.81 K/9. A NEW ERA: Friday night marked an historic day for the South Atlantic League and across Minor League Baseball as it was the first game in which the new pitch clock rules were enforced. In the first night under the rules, game times across Minor League Baseball plummeted, with nearly 30 minutes shaved off the average game, according to numbers run by J.J. Cooper of Baseball America. Through Tuesday’s action, average game times have been cut by approximately 20 minutes, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan. However, MLB has temporarily suspended the pitch clock at Dutchess Stadium until further notice. OFF TO THE RACES: Through 11 games, the Hudson Valley Renegades are second among High-A teams in stolen bases with 29. · Jersey Shore (PHI) has 36 to pace all High-A clubs, while Spokane (COL) of the Northwest League is the next-closest team, with 23. The Gades has been caught stealing six times, leading to a success rate of 82.8%. · Across all levels of the minors, the Renegades are tied with Lake Elsinore (SD) for third-most steals, with Fayetteville (HOU) of the Carolina League having stolen 30 bases. · The Renegades have stolen the most bases of any team in the Yankees organization, with Tampa (A) ranking second with 17 swipes. · With 29 steals through 11 games, the Renegades are stealing an average of 2.64 bases per game, which puts them on pace for 348 on the season, which would obliterate the previous franchise record of 149 in 2021. · Cooper Bowman leads the team with eight steals, which ranks third in the SAL. Bowman has stolen multiple bases in a game three times this season. Aldenis Sánchez is fifth in the circuit with six swipes. · The Renegades have stolen six bases in a game as a team twice this season. RUMFIELD’S PINSTRIPED DEBUT: In his first year in the New York Yankees organization, T.J. Rumfield has impressed with his performance on the field. During the season-opening road trip, Rumfield hit .412/.487/.735 with five doubles, two home runs and 10 RBIs. He ranks among the top 10 in the South Atlantic League in AVG (3rd), OBP (t-3rd), SLG (5th), OPS (3rd), RBIs (5th), XBH (4th), H (4th), 2B (t-3rd), and HR (t-10th). Rumfield was drafted by the Phillies in the 12th round of the 2021 First-Year Player Draft out of Virginia Tech, and was traded to the Yankees in a November deal which sent RHP Nick Nelson and C Donny Sands to Philadelphia. HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELLS: After a slow start to the season, Austin Wells has put together three straight strong games at the plate. Since Sunday’s series finale with Rome, the catcher is 6-for-11 in his last three games, with a double, three walks, two strikeouts and two stolen bases. With the outburst, he has raised his season batting line from .148/.273/.222 to .263/.383/.342, a 230-point jump in OPS. Wells is the Yankees No. 4 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, who also ranks him as the No. 95 prospect in all of baseball, and the No. 10 overall catching prospect in the game. RECORD-SETTING SEASON: To nobody’s surprise, the Hudson Valley Renegades set 19 new franchise hitting records during the 2021 season, the first in team history as a full-season affiliate. The team and individual players set 19 new single-season hitting records, and 20 new single-season pitching records. Among the most ludicrous was the single-season mark for most team home runs hit (156 -- previous record, 53 in 1999 and 2002), and most strikeouts recorded by the pitching staff (1,308 -- previous record, 693 in 1998).

Syracuse pitching shines bright as Mets sweep doubleheader against Worcester, 1-0 and 4-2, on Wednesday evening Syracuse, NY – The Syracuse Mets started their week-long series against the Worcester Red Sox in style, taking both halves of a doubleheader on a chilly Wednesday night at NBT Bank Stadium with a 1-0 walk-off win in eight inning in game one and a 4-2 win in game two. The Mets’ pitching staff starred, allowing just two combined runs in the doubleheader with 20 combined strikeouts in 15 total innings. Game one of the doubleheader was a good, old-fashioned pitchers’ duel. Neither team scored in the first seven innings, combining for just six total hits. Both teams took different routes to the seven scoreless innings. Syracuse utilized four different pitchers in their seven innings of shutout work. Thomas Szapucki (two innings), Adonis Medina (two innings), Andrew Mitchell (two innings) and Eric Orze (one inning) combined to completely confuse the Red Sox hitters, striking out 12 batters in the process. On the other side, Worcester rode an outstanding start from Connor Seabold. The right-hander tossed six scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out five batters. Seabold finished remarkably strong, retiring ten of the final 12 batters he faced. Syracuse’s (3-10) best chance to score early in game one of the doubleheader came in the bottom of the third inning. The Mets loaded the bags with one out via a Quinn Brodey double, a Wyatt Young single, and a Travis Blankenhorn walk. Seabold bore down after that, striking out back-to-back batters in Daniel Palka and Carlos Rincon to end the potential run-scoring rally. As for Worcester (9-5), the Red Sox had the bases loaded in the top of the sixth inning. Three walks from Mitchell had the bags all filled with two outs, but the left-hander promptly induced a flyout to center field from Christin Stewart to wiggle his way out of the jam. The game remained scoreless into the eighth inning, the first extra inning in a seven-inning game as a part of a doubleheader. By rule, the inning started with a runner on second and nobody out. However, on Worcester’s side of things, Yolmer Sánchez moved to third but did not score, as Stephen Nogosek induced two groundouts and a popout to pitch a clean frame. Syracuse started their hitting half of the eighth with Brodey at second base, and the home team would not be denied. Brodey moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored when the very next batter, Blankenhorn, lofted a fly ball to center field deep enough for a sacrifice fly to score Brodey and give the Mets a 1-0 win in the first game of the doubleheader. Game two of the doubleheader got off to an inauspicious start for Syracuse. Worcester plated two runs in the first inning via a two-run sacrifice fly by Ryan Fitzgerald, scoring Jarren Duran and Jeter Downs. After that, the Red Sox would not score again. Rob Zastryzny, Trey Cobb, and Alex Claudio combined to toss seven solid innings, surrendering just four total hits. For the day, the Mets used eight total pitchers and allowed just six total hits in the 15 overall innings. The Mets powered their way in front for good in game two of the doubleheader via a big blast in the bottom of the third inning. With two runners on base and two outs, Daniel Palka hit a booming blast over the right-field fence, giving Syracuse a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. The left-handed hitter now has three home runs and ten runs driven in on the young season. The home team added insurance in the bottom of the sixth inning. Brodey walked leading off the frame, swiping second to move into scoring position with nobody out. Back-to-back strikeouts dimmed the scoring hopes in the inning, but Nick Meyer made them shine bright again. The Syracuse catcher one-hopped the left-center field wall for a double, plating Brodey and completing the evening’s scoring. Meyer went 2-for-2 in the second half of the doubleheader, adding a single and walk to his RBI double. Syracuse would hang on to win game two of the doubleheader, 4-2, but it got interesting in the top of the seventh inning. Roldani Baldwin was on first base with one out, and Grant Williams bounced a groundball to shortstop that potentially could have turned into a game-ending double play. However, a fielding error by Wyatt Young extended the game, putting runners on first and second with one out. A Jarren Duran strikeout put the Mets one out away from a win, but it would have to wait. A Jeter Downs walk loaded the bases with two outs, but a Triston Casas groundout to first base ended the game and gave Syracuse a doubleheader sweep of the first-place WooSox. Syracuse and Worcester continue their six-game series on Thursday night at NBT Bank Stadium. Right-hander Jose Rodriguez is slated to start for the Mets, opposed by left-hander Darwinzon Hernandez for the Red Sox. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m.

Syracuse falls at Columbus in series finale, 4-3, on Sunday COLUMBUS, OH – The Columbus Clippers completed a six-game sweep of the Syracuse Mets on Sunday afternoon, rallying from an early deficit to take the series final, 4-3, at Huntington Park. The Clippers scored a combined 50 runs in the week-long series. Syracuse (1-10) roared out to a 1-0 lead on a sun-soaked Sunday, as Travis Blankenhorn pounded a solo home run with one out in the top of the first. The left-handed hitter had an excellent weekend at the plate. Blankenhorn smacked home runs in both Friday and Sunday’s games. Columbus (9-3) answered right back in the bottom of the first. The Clippers eliminated the early deficit, scoring twice in the frame to take a 2-1 lead. After Richie Palacios and Luke Maile singled early in the inning to put runners on first and third with one out, a pair of two-out singles later in the frame gave the home team the lead. First, Daniel Johnson grounded a single into right field to score Palacios and move Maile to second. Then the next batter, Will Benson, singled into center field. That drove in Maile and put Columbus right back in front, 2-1. The Mets responded with a lone run in the fourth to knot the game back up at two. After a Daniel Palka single started the inning and a one-out walk by Khalil Lee moved Palka up to second base, the frame looked in jeopardy when Carlos Cortes popped out. However, Patrick Mazeika had other ideas, singling home Palka to tie the game, 2-2. From there, Columbus got enough insurance to secure victory via lone runs in the fifth and sixth innings. The Clippers plated their run in the fifth unconventionally. Jose Fermin singled to start the inning, promptly swiping second base with nobody out. After an Ike Freeman strikeout, a throwing error by Syracuse pitcher Mike Montgomery on a pickoff attempt moved Fermin up to third base. That meant when the next batter ,Palacios, grounded out to second base, Fermin came home to score and give the Clippers the lead back, 3-2. In the sixth, Columbus scored a bit more conventionally, as Maile lifted a solo home run over the right-field wall to give the Clippers a 4-2 lead that would hold up in the end. Maile’s homer was the only extra-base hit that Columbus would have all day. The game remained 4-2 into the top of the ninth inning when Syracuse mounted a late push. Mazeika singled to start the inning and moved to second when Nick Meyer walked. A Wyatt Young fielder’s choice groundout then put Mazeika at third and Young at first with one out, followed by a Blankenhorn groundout to second base that scored Mazeika and advanced Young to second as the Mets cut the deficit to one, 4-3. The intrigue continued when Columbus relief pitcher Enyel De Los Santos balked, allowing Young to move to third base and ninety feet away from tying the game. However, De Los Santos bore down when it mattered most, striking out Mark Vientos swinging and ensuring a six-game series sweep for the Clippers. Syracuse returns home on Tuesday night to begin a six-game series against the Worcester Red Sox (Triple-A Boston Red Sox) at NBT Bank Stadium. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m.

COLUMBUS, OH – One night after Syracuse and Columbus combined to score 16 runs, they outdid themselves on Friday night. In an absolute slugfest that featured 27 combined runs, the Clippers outlasted the Mets 15-12 on a warm mid-April night in Ohio’s capital city. The two teams combined for 26 hits and the game featured five different half-innings with at least three runs scored in the frame. The parade to home plate began early on Friday night, as Syracuse (1-8) plated four runs right out of the shoot in the top of the first inning. After back-to-back singles from Travis Blankenhorn and Mark Vientos with one out, Carlos Rincon singled to right field and brought home Blankenhorn for a 1-0 edge. The very next batter, Daniel Palka, drove in Vientos and Rincon with a double down the right-field line to make it a 3-0 ballgame. After a Khalil Lee strikeout, Nick Dini grounded a single back into right field, scoring Palka and completing the early-inning barrage of runs for the Mets en route to a 4-0 advantage. Syracuse tacked on two more runs via the long ball in the top of the third. After Rincon reached base on a fielding error with one out, Palka cleared the bases with a two-run blast over the right-field fence. Palka had a banner night at the plate. The left-handed hitter finished the game 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored, and four runs driven in. After putting itself in an early 6-0 hole, Columbus (7-3) dug its way right out of it. The Clippers scored the game’s next nine runs, plating three runs in the third, four in the fourth and two in the fifth to roar right back and grab a 9-6 lead. First, a three-run homer from Oscar Gonzalez in the bottom of the third slashed the deficit in half to 6-3. Then, a pair of two-run singles from Richie Palacios and Luke Maile in the fourth handed Columbus its first lead of the night at 7-6. Finally, Palacios did it again in the bottom of the fifth, driving in two more runs with a single into left field that made it 9-6 in favor of the home team. In this back-and-forth tennis match of a baseball game, it was now Syracuse’s turn to swing back. The Mets regained their lead with six unanswered runs, scoring twice in the seventh and four times in the top of the eighth. After singles from Cody Bohanek and Blankenhorn in the top of the seventh put runners on first and third with one out, a wild pitch allowed Bohanek to prance home and slim the deficit to two, 9-7. Then, Vientos bounced a double down into the right-field corner, scoring Blankenhorn and making it a one-run game again, 9-8. In the top of the eighth, Syracuse plated four runs in an inning for the second time on the night. Khalil Lee led off the frame with a single and promptly stole second, followed by a Nick Dini walk that put two runners on base with nobody out. After a Quinn Brodey strikeout, Bohanek singled into right field, scoring Lee and knotting the game up, 9-9. The biggest blow of the inning was yet to come. After a Carlos Cortes strikeout, Blakenhorn crushed a three-run shot to dead-center field, giving the Mets a 12-9 lead. The left-handed hitter was rolling on Friday night, finishing the game 3-for-5 with three runs driven in and three runs scored. However, Syracuse’s lead was short-lived. A six-run barrage from Columbus in the bottom of the eighth made it 15-12 and gave the Clippers the lead for good. Columbus used five hits, four walks, a sacrifice fly and an RBI groundout to bring the pivotal runs home. David Fry gave the home team the lead for good with his two-out double that scored Will Benson, followed by a two-run single by Mitchell Tolman that gave Columbus all the insurance it would need. Syracuse and Columbus play the penultimate game in their six-game series on Saturday afternoon. Right-hander Félix Peña is slated to make his first start of the season for the Mets opposite Clippers left-hander Kirk McCarty. First pitch is set for 4:05 p.m.

Columbus cruise to 5-0 win over Syracuse on Wednesday night COLUMBUS, OH – Columbus Clippers starting pitcher Adam Scott faced the minimum and allowed one hit in five innings on the mound en route to a 5-0 Clippers win over the Syracuse Mets on Wednesday night at Huntington Park. Columbus has won the first two games of the series by a combined score of 10-0.

Johnson slugged 14 home runs in 72 games with Columbus last season. That was all the run support the Clippers pitching staff would need, as they were downright dominant on Wednesday night. Scott, Brett Daniels, Eli Lingos, Aaron Pinto and Nick Mikolajchak combined to pitch nine shutout innings, surrendering just three hits in the process. The Columbus hurlers stuck out eight combined batters with just one walk allowed. Scott, the starting pitcher, was particularly impressive.

Right-hander Jose Rodriguez is slated to make his second start of the season for the Mets opposite Clippers right-hander Tobias Myers. First pitch is set for 6:15 p.m.

Nick Meyer singled with two outs, followed by a Khalil Lee walk that put runners on first and second. Then, Syracuse pulled off a double steal, putting Meyer and Lee both in scoring position. Finally, a passed ball allowed Meyer to race home and put the Mets in front, 3-2. The Syracuse bullpen put together a solid string of work. Rob Zastryzny, Andrew Mitchell, and Colin Holderman didn’t allow an earned run in five innings of work. Mitchell was particularly impressive. The left-hander from Louisiana tossed two and two-thirds scoreless innings, coupling another impressive outing earlier in the week. Mitchell hurled two clean frames on Wednesday night, striking out three RailRiders in the process. Despite the strong effort from the Syracuse bullpen, in the top of the ninth, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre extended the game. With one out, José Peraza reached on an error,running all the way to second base on a dropped fly ball in shallow right field. After a groundout by Estevan Florial put the RailRiders one out away from defeat, Oswald Peraza kept the game going. The second-best prospect in the Yankees minor league system, according to MLB Pipeline, smacked a single into right field, scoring José Peraza and tying the game in the process. Oswald Peraza had a banner night, going 4-for-5, including a double. Syracuse and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre conclude their six-game series on Sunday afternoon. Left-hander Thomas Szapucki is scheduled to throw for the Mets opposite RailRiders left-hander Matt Krook. First pitch is set for 1:05 p.m.

RailRiders sweep Friday night doubleheader against Mets SYRACUSE, NY – The Syracuse Mets dropped both halves of a doubleheader against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on Friday night at NBT Bank Stadium with the Triple-A Yankees winning game one, 7-6, in eight innings and game two, 10-1. The RailRiders have taken the first four games of the season-opening series. In game one of the doubleheader, both teams jumped on the scoreboard early. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (4-0) grabbed an early 2-0 lead when Greg Bird pounded a two-run homer over the center-field fence in the top of the first. Bird is making his return to the Yankees organization this season – he played 186 games with the Bronx Bombers from the 2015 through 2019 seasons. Syracuse (0-4) inched closer with a lone run in the bottom of the first. Carlos Cortes and Patrick Mazeika both singled to start the inning, with Cortes moving to third base on Mazeika’s base knock. Mark Vientos then grounded into a double play, but it did score Cortes in the process to slash the RailRiders’ lead in half, 2-1. Sloppy defense by the Mets in the fourth allowed Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to increase its lead. Two errors helped push home two more tallies for the RailRiders. The second error was the costly one. With runners on second and third with nobody out, Max McDowell tapped a slow roller back to the pitcher’s mound, prompting Phillip Evans to take off from third. Justin Dillon, Syracuse’s pitcher, then threw errantly to home plate, allowing Evans to score from third and Auburn, NY native Tim Locastro to score from second. The score remained 4-1 until the bottom of the fifth when Daniel Palka quickly changed the story, swinging at a hanging breaking ball and pounding it over the wall in right-center field with two runners on base to knot the game up at four. Palka, who made his Syracuse debut on Friday night, flashed plenty of power with the Rochester Red Wings last season. The left-handed hitter had 19 doubles and 18 home runs during the 2021 season. From there, the RailRiders went back in front, scoring single runs in the sixth and seventh innings to take a 6-4 lead. McDowell had an RBI single in the sixth, followed by an Evans sacrifice fly in the seventh that scored Miguel Andujar. However, the Mets wouldn’t go away. With one out and a runner on first in the bottom of the seventh, Quinn Brodey launched a no-doubt home run to right field, scoring Carlos Rincon and tying the game back up at six. It was Brodey’s first hit of the young season. In the eighth inning (and lone extra inning), Scranton/Wilkes-Barre scored the game’s final run to clinch the victory. With a runner at second to start the inning, José Peraza lined a single into center field, scoring Evan Alexander to make it 7-6. Syracuse had two runners on base with two outs in the bottom of the eighth, but Johneshwy Fargas was caught stealing at third to end the game. The second game of the doubleheader was all Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, who roared ahead with six runs in the top of the second and never looked back. By the end of the night, the RailRiders had scored 10 runs on 12 hits, including eight extra-base hits and four home runs. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre has smacked eight home runs in the first four games of the season. Oswaldo Cabrera had a banner night in the second game of the doubleheader. The RailRiders’ starting shortstop reached base four times, including a three-run triple, two doubles, and two runs scored. Ender Inciarte also joined the fun, crushing two separate two-run home runs in the game. Syracuse mustered just one run in the 10-1 defeat. Carlos Cortes had a double in the second and scored two batters later on a Matt Reynolds groundout for Syracuse’s lone run of the second game as the Mets finished the game with six hits. The Mets and RailRiders continue their six-game series on Saturday night with game five of the series. Right-hander Conner Grey is scheduled to take the mound for Syracuse opposite Scranton/Wilkes-Barre right-hander Luis Gil. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m.

Hudson Valley Renegades (0-0) at Greenville Drive (0-0) RHP Matt Sauer (First Start) vs. RHP Brian Van Belle (First Start) | Game 1 | Road Game 1 | Fluor Field | Greenville, SC | April 8, 2022 | First Pitch 7:05 p.m. | DOWN IN THE UPSTATE: The Hudson Valley Renegades begin their 2022 season on the road taking on the Greenville Drive, the High-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. This abbreviated three-game series at Fluor Field to start the season is the first time that the Renegades have played a game in South Carolina. It will also very briefly be the furthest south that Hudson Valley has ever played a game, but that will be surpassed on Tuesday, April 12 when the team begins a series in Rome, Georgia. The Renegades and Drive match up again for a six-game series from July 12-17 at Dutchess Stadium. OPENING ON THE ROAD... AGAIN: Hudson Valley is set to open its season on the road for the fifth straight season. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, the ‘Gades started the season at Aberdeen with a win, but kicked off the 2021 season with a loss at Jersey Shore. Incredibly, the Renegades played Aberdeen to start the season for 15 straight years from 2005-19, going 9-6 in those games. Overall, Hudson Valley is 7-2 in its last nine Opening Day affairs. UNPRECEDENTED TIMES: The 2022 season is set to be the longest in the history of the Hudson Valley Renegades. While operating as a Short Season-A team in the New York-Penn League from 1994-2020, the Renegades had never played more than 76 games in a season. In 2021, the club played 120 games in a season shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic. The “new normal” for Hudson Valley is the 132-game schedule that is now uniform across Class-A leagues, beginning in 2022. The record-setting schedule length includes the earliest Opening Day in franchise history (April 8), earliest Home Opener (April 19), longest season-opening road trip (9 games), and first games played in South Carolina and Georgia. PRECEDENTED TIMES: The 30-man Break Camp roster for the Renegades includes 12 players who saw time with the 2021 team. The returners break down as six pitchers (Nelson Alvarez, Edgar Barclay, Nelvin Correa, Tanner Myatt, Matt Sauer, and Beck Way), three catchers (Carlos Narvaez, Saul Torres, and Austin Wells), one infielder (Eduardo Torrealba), and two outfielders (Pat DeMarco and Everson Pereira). PROSPECTS GALORE: The Renegades Break Camp roster features five of the Yankees’ top 30 prospects, according to MLB Pipeline. Catcher Austin Wells (#4) and infielder Trey Sweeney (#5) are joined by outfielder Everson Pereira (#11), pitchers T.J. Sikkema (#20) and Beck Way (#22) and infielder Cooper Bowman (#25). Each of the Yankees last three first round draftees (Sikkema, 2019; Wells, 2020; and Sweeney, 2021) begin the season with Hudson Valley. THE RIVALRY IN HIGH-A: The season-opening series with the Greenville Drive represents the High-A edition of baseball’s greatest rivalry, Yankees-Red Sox. However, it has been 18 years since the club’s respective High-A affiliates played each other. From 1994-2004 the Tampa Yankees and Sarasota Red Sox both competed in the old Florida State League. The Sox moved their High-A affiliate to the Wilmington Blue Rocks for 2005 and 2006, the Lancaster JetHawks from 07-08 before settling in with the Salem Red Sox from 2009 until the Great Reorganization of 2020. The Yankees had their High-A affiliate with the Tampa Yankees/Tarpons from 1994 through 2020. MEET THE NEW LEAGUE, SAME AS THE OLD LEAGUE: Last month, Major League Baseball announced the return of traditional names for its minor leagues, re-christening “High-A East” as the South Atlantic League. The 2022 South Atlantic League is actually the third major iteration of a league with that name. The original South Atlantic League lasted on and off from 1904-1963, when it was moved up to Double-A and re-branded as the Southern League, which still exists today. The next SAL also began in 1903 under the name of the Western Carolinas League. It changed its name in 1980 and operated at the Single-A classification. High-A East (2021) and the current South Atlantic League are considered by MiLB to be one continuous league with the WCL/old SAL. BACK IN THE SALLY AGAIN: The Renegades playing in the South Atlantic League marks the return of a Yankees affiliate to the circuit for the first time since 2002. From 1980-84, and again from 1990-2002, the Bronx Bombers were affiliated with the Greensboro SAL franchise, then known as the Hornets (80-93) and Bats (94-02). The Yankees left Greensboro for a two-year stint in Battle Creek in the Midwest League, before settling their Single-A club in Charleston (SC) from 05-20. RECORD-SETTING SEASON: To nobody’s surprise, the Hudson Valley Renegades set 19 new franchise hitting records during the 2021 season, the first in team history as a full-season affiliate. The team and individual players set 19 new single-season hitting records, and 20 new single-season pitching records. Among the most ludicrous was the single-season mark for most team home runs hit (156; previous record, 53 in 1999 and 2002), and most strikeouts recorded by the pitching staff (1,308; previous record, 693 in 1998). GET THIS OUT OF THE WAY: The current nine-game road trip to Greenville and Rome is the longest season-opening road trip in franchise history. It also represents the second-longest road trip of the season, eclipsed by only a 12-game trip from June 14-27 to Greensboro and Winston-Salem.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (2-0) struck back in the top of the eighth. The RailRiders’ rally began with a Rob Brantly home run on the first pitch of the frame to make it a 3-1 ballgame. Later in the inning, Estevan Florial crushed a solo shot to left-center field to cut the Syracuse lead to one, 3-2. The RailRiders came all the way back in the ninth.

Brantly followed with a sacrifice fly that scored Cabrera to knot the game up, 3-3. Ryan LaMarre than lined a ball that one-hopped off the wall in right-center field, scoring two runs to give Scranton/Wilkes-Barre a 5-3 lead that the RailRiders held on to for the win.
