Ronald Hernandez<\/a> went 5-for-5 with two home runs in a Brooklyn blowout victory, Ryan Clifford<\/a> returned from the development list and got a hit in a Syracuse win, Binghamton was blown out in their loss and Ryan Tayman<\/a> continued his hot season but it wasn\u2019t enough as St. Lucie met defeat on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Triple-A<\/p>\n

Syracuse Mets (70-63) 8 vs. Rochester Red Wings (80-52) 0<\/p>\n

BOX SCORE<\/a><\/p>\n

Syracuse was 5-for-14 with runners in scoring position. Clifford, in his return from the development list, went 1-for-2 with a hit, a run scored, two walks and a strikeout.<\/p>\n

The pitching staff danced around nine hits to allow zero runs with some help from Smith, who threw a runner out at home.<\/p>\n

Double-A<\/p>\n

Binghamton Rumble Ponies (58-71) 5 vs. New Hampshire Fisher Cats (57-70) 17<\/p>\n

BOX SCORE<\/a><\/p>\n

Mitch Voit<\/a> received the day off and the back of the lineup thrived. Jamari Baylor<\/a> hit his first home run in Double-A while going 3-for-4 to up his OPS to .849.<\/p>\n

RHP Will Watson<\/a> (8.88 ERA)\u00a02 1\/3 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 HR allowed (31 of 50 pitches for strikes)
\nRHP Brendan Girton<\/a> (6.89 ERA)\u00a01 IP, 3 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 1 HR allowed
\nRF\/RHP JT Benson<\/a> (0.00 ERA) 1 IP, 1 BB<\/p>\n

Watson and Girton, both recovering from injury, struggled, allowing nine of the 17 runs by themselves. The only Binghamton player to not allow a run was right fielder JT Benson.<\/p>\n

High-A<\/p>\n

Brooklyn Cyclones (57-71) 12, Frederick Keys (80-46) 5<\/p>\n

Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n

SS Elian Pe\u00f1a<\/a> \u2013 0-for-5,\u00a0 2 K (.512 OPS)
\n1B Ronald Hernandez \u2013\u00a05-for-5, 3 R, 2 HR (10), 6 RBI (50), SB (24)(.677 OPS)
\nCF Aidan Smith<\/a> \u2013\u00a02-for-5, 1 R, 1 RBI (48), 2 SB (24), 1 K (.773 OPS)
\nLF Aiden Robbins<\/a> \u2013\u00a01-for-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K (1.098 OPS)
\nDH Trey Snyder<\/a> \u2013\u00a01-for-3, 3 R, 1 RBI (24), SB (11), 2 BB (.680 OPS)<\/p>\n

Hernandez is the whole story, notching five hits (including two home runs), driving in six runs and stealing his 24th base of the season for good measure. Colin Houck<\/a> struck out four times in five at-bats.<\/p>\n

RHP Joel D\u00edaz<\/a> (6.23 ERA)\u00a0 3 1\/3 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz has not taken the leap many felt he would after a strong 2025 season, with more uneven outings and a drastic regression that has seen him walk 16 more hitters this season in 50 less innings.<\/p>\n

Single-A<\/p>\n

Jupiter Hammerheads (61-65) 5, St. Lucie Mets (56-72) 3 <\/p>\n

BOX SCORE<\/a><\/p>\n

SS Bruin Agbayani<\/a> \u2013\u00a01-for-4, 2 K (.737 OPS)
\nC Ryan Tayman \u2013\u00a03-for-4, 1 R, HR (4), 2 RBI (16) (.970 OPS)
\nRF Kuhio Aloy<\/a> \u2013\u00a00-for-3, 1 BB, 1 K (.719 OPS)<\/p>\n

St. Lucie struggled with runners in scoring position, going 1-for-9. 3B Branny De Oleo<\/a> went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. Tayman has shown his calling card will be his bat, with his .970 OPS and nine of his 23 hits going for extra bases.<\/p>\n

RHP Nathan Hall<\/a> (5.40 ERA)\u00a02 1\/3 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K (28 of 45 pitches for strikes)
\nRHP Camden Lohman<\/a> (6.75 ERA)\u00a01 2\/3 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 1 K<\/p>\n

Lohman, the Mets\u2019 2025 draft pick out of high school, has struggled with his control in his introduction to professional baseball, walking 38 batters in 47 innings while allowing 52 hits.<\/p>\n
