LAS VEGAS 9, SALT LAKE 0: Gabriel Ynoa tossed eight scoreless innings and combined with Erik Goeddel on the shutout. Gavin Cecchini went 5-for-5 with two doubles, two RBIs and a run scored. Box

BOWIE 5, BINGHAMTON 0: Filling in for scratched Rafael Montero, B-Mets spot starter Logan Taylor surrendered a two-run homer to Glynn Davis in the second inning that opened the scoring. Bowie stretched its lead with a three-run fifth against relievers Alberto Baldonado and Luis Mateo. Bowie starter David Hess (5-12) snapped a six-game winless streak by tossing six scoreless innings. Maikis De La Cruz struck out to leave the bases loaded in the second. He fanned again in the fourth to leave two more aboard. Rehabbing Brian Duensing tossed two scoreless relief innings for Bowie. Taylor (4-2) surrendered two runs on four hits and four walks in 2 1/3 innings. Montero now officially is listed as Binghamton's starter on Sunday. The B-Mets are 0-for-their-last-21 with runners in scoring position. Box

PALM BEACH 0, ST. LUCIE 0 (suspended): The game was suspended due to unplayable field conditions in the middle of the eighth inning. It will resume Sunday, followed by the regularly scheduled game. The Mets mustered only two singles against Cardinals starter Junior Fernandez. The 19-year-old Dominican retired 13 straight batters to complete his outing. The Mets had runners on the corners with one out in the second but Luis Guillorme lined out and Michael Katz struck out. Palm Beach appeared to take the lead in the seventh. With runners on the corners and one out, Danny Diekroeger grounded to Jonathan Johnson, who flipped to Guillorme at second base for the second out. Guillorme was unable to get a throw off to first base to complete the double play because Thomas Spitz slid into him. That initially allowed a run to score from third base, but the umpires convened and ruled that Spitz slid past the second-base bag and interfered with Guillorme and the run was taken off the board. Ben Griset, Domingo Tapia and Robby Coles combined for eight scoreless innings for St. Lucie. Box

COLUMBIA 10, KANNAPOLIS 6: Patrick Mazeika, Eudor Garcia and Tucker Tharp all had run-scoring extra-base hits in a seven-run third inning as the Fireflies took a 9-1 lead. Johnny Magliozzi contributed 2 2/3 scoreless relief innings. Starter Chase Ingram allowed six runs (four earned) in 5 1/3 innings. Box

DANVILLE 2, KINGSPORT 0: K-Mets starter Joel Huertas tossed five scoreless innings, but Connor Buchmann surrendered a pair of runs in relief. Dionis Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with a walk in the loss. Box

WILLIAMSPORT 8, BROOKLYN 2: Cyclones starter Gabriel Llanes allowed six runs (four earned) on 10 hits in six innings. Gene Cone went 2-for-4 and scored both of Brooklyn's runs. Box
