          NEW ORLEANS 12, LAS VEGAS 8: Tyler Pill allowed eight runs in four innings. Brandon Nimmo went 4-for-6 with a double in the loss. Box

          NEW HAMPSHIRE 4, BINGHAMTON 1: New Hampshire starter Wilmer Font struck out nine over seven scoreless innings and Christian Lopes belted a leadoff homer against B-Mets starter Tyler Herron in the first inning. The 1-0 score held until the fifth when Emilio Guerrero and Ian Parmley singled. Lopes then bounced a grounder that shortstop Amed Rosario whiffed on, allowing Guerrero to score. Richard Urena then drove in Parmley with an RBI groundout and Dwight Smith Jr. plated Lopes with a single for a 4-0 lead. After allowing a leadoff single to Derrik Gibson in the first, the B-Mets were 0-for-their-next-13. Herron (2-5) allowed four runs (two earned) on nine hits in seven innings. Binghamton scored its lone run in the eighth as Colton Plaia singled and scored on a wild pitch. Dominic Smith walked twice but went 0-for-2 as his hitting streak ended at 12 games. Box

          JUPITER 5, ST. LUCIE 3: Rehabbing Yoenis Cespedes went 0-for-3 with a strikeout, lineout to center and an RBI groundout as the DH. Cespedes batted with the bases loaded and no outs in a 1-1 game in the fifth. Reliever Steven Farnworth survived the at-bat by coaxing a grounder to third base, although Cespedes hustled to beat out the double play. Second baseman Rony Cabrera’s throw to first got away anyway, allowing a second run to score to give the Mets a 3-1 lead. St. Lucie's bullpen couldn’t hold the two-run advantage. Kelly Secrest walked two batters in the sixth and Taylor Ard lifted a sacrifice fly to make it 3-2. Avery Romero and Dexter Kjerstad followed with back-to-back two-out RBI singles to give Jupiter a 4-3 lead. The Mets had a chance to break through in the eighth. Two walks and an error loaded the bases with two outs. However, Jonathan Johnson popped out in foul territory. Box

          KINGSPORT 5, GREENEVILLE 4: Yeffry De Aza produced a walk-off two-run single in the bottom of the ninth. Jeremy Wolf and Jose Miguel Medina, who consecutively singled to open the frame, both scored. Box

          GCL METS 3, GCL ASTROS 1: Starter Connor Buchmann allowed one run in three innings and Jose Geraldo and Ezequiel Zabaleta combined to strike out seven and allow only two hits in six scoreless relief innings. Luis Carpio went 3-for-4 with a double, triple and RBI. Box
