TOLEDO 17, SYRACUSE 7 (BOX)
Well, Jonah Tong’s second Triple-A start didn’t go as well as his first. The 22-year-old didn’t make it out of the second inning as he surrendered seven runs, four of them earned. The Syracuse bullpen didn’t fare any better than that the rest of the way, either, and position player Jose Rojas threw the final two innings of this one, faring better than some of the actual pitchers who preceded him.
If you’re looking for bright spots here, well, Hayden Senger hit a pair of home runs, while Vidal Bruján, Nick Morabito, and Ronny Mauricio all had very good nights at the plate.
PALM BEACH 6, ST. LUCIE 3 (BOX)
The St. Lucie Mets played their first game of the season, but they unfortunately joined their higher-level counterparts in losing to make it a full-system-swept night of Mets baseball. In his stateside debut, 18-year-old Elian Peña made a great impression with two hits, one of which was a double, and a walk.
