Syracuse took an early lead against Rochester, scoring two runs in the top of the second inning. However, Mets pitcher Kodai Senga quickly gave those runs back, allowing two runs in the bottom of the same inning. Nonetheless, the Mets rallied in the fourth, scoring four runs, which provided a comfortable cushion for Senga. He did allow an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth and another run in the sixth, but Syracuse added a couple of late insurance runs. The bullpen stepped up, covering five and one-third innings in relief of Senga, contributing to an 8-4 victory.

In a thrilling matchup, Portland edged out Binghamton 10-9, showcasing an impressive performance from the top of the lineup. Chris Suero and Jacob Reimer combined for seven stolen bases, with Suero swiping four and Reimer three. However, despite the offensive fireworks, Binghamton’s hopes were dashed due to a rough outing from reliever Jordan Geber. The Rumble Ponies have been stretched thin in the bullpen after Channing Austin was placed on the injured list, which affected their performance over the last two games.

Brooklyn faced a setback against Wilmington, losing 7-5 after relinquishing a three-run lead in the fourth inning. Cyclones starter Noah Hall struggled, giving up three runs that allowed Wilmington to tie the game. Although Brooklyn managed to regain the lead briefly in the fifth, their bullpen faltered, with two relievers each allowing two runs in the sixth and seventh innings. Brooklyn did manage to score once more in the eighth, but it wasn’t enough to change the outcome as their record continues to decline.

In a more positive note, St. Lucie secured a 3-1 victory over Bradenton, thanks to a strong performance from starter Jose Chirinos. After allowing a run in the first inning, Chirinos settled down, going six innings while striking out nine batters and walking just one. He surrendered only three hits, leading his team to a solid win.
