He was not able to keep that torrid pace going, and came back to earth a bit in June, hitting...

Eric Orze struggled to shut the door, giving up three runs, but Joe Zanghi was able to step up and get that one last crucial out.

Francisco Alvarez | Chris McShane Catch up on all the Mets prospects in yesterday’s minor league action! *All results from games played on July 2, 2022 Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (31-45) LEHIGH VALLEY 9, SYRACUSE 5 (BOX) David Griffin was solid early on, but when the wheels fell off, they really fell off. Trey Cobb relieved him and was worse, and that’s not a recipe for winning ballgames. All in all, the Syracuse pitchers combined to allow 18 hits. That the IronPigs only scored nine runs on 18 hits is…something. Not sure if I’d say a good thing or bad thing, but...

Thomas Szapucki had another Thomas Szapucki start- a handful of innings scattering a couple of hits and striking out a surprisingly large number of batters- but...

He happened to get the hit off of former Mets farmhand Alberto Baldonado, who is (A) still playing and (B) somehow only 29-years-old. Blankenhorn is having a terrific week and really, has been impressive all June. In 21 games on the month, he is hitting .410/.483/.705...

With the heart of the order due up, not all hope was lost, and sure enough, the Mets showed life in the ninth. Back-to-back-to-back walks to Luke Ritter, Dom Smith, and Mark Vientos loaded up the bases with no outs. Surely Syracuse...
