Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (57-43)______________________________________
LAS VEGAS 7, SALT LAKE 6 (Box)
Cory Mazzoni tossed five-plus innings in his Triple-A debut and his new teammates backed him up with three home runs. Wilmer Flores didn't go yard, but he did pick up a pair of singles, including one of the bunt variety, to run his hitting streak to 19 games. He's currently batting .361/.388/.803 in July and exactly half of his hits this month have gone for more than one base.

Double-A - Binghamton Mets (59-39)______________________________________
TRENTON 6, BINGHAMTON 5 (Box)
Outside of Brandon Nimmo and Dilson Herrera, the B-Mets offense was nonexistent last night. The dynamic duo went a combined four-for-eight with five runs batted in while the rest of the team went 1-for-25. Herrera, the youngest hitter in the Eastern League, now has 100 Double-A at-bats under his belt and his line sits at .350/.410/.524.

High-A - St. Lucie Mets (16-9 / 56-38)______________________________________
BREVARD COUNTY 4, ST. LUCIE 3 (Box)
St. Lucie scored three times in the top of the eighth inning to tie the game, but ultimately fell when reliever T.J. Chism served up a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth. Gavin Cecchini was pulled in the third inning, a move perhaps related to his not running out a dropped third strike the frame before.

Low-A - Savannah Sand Gnats (18-10 / 62-32)__________________________________
SAVANNAH 5, LEXINGTON 1 (Box)
Robert Gsellman turned 21 yesterday and his of-age teammates should buy him a beer or two for the birthday performance he turned in. The 13th rounder fanned ten in six-plus innings, his first double-digit strikeout game since August of last year. Dom Smith went hitless in four at-bats and got himself tossed by the home plate umpire in the seventh, presumably for arguing balls and strikes.

Short Season-A - Brooklyn Cyclones (15-19)__________________________________
JAMESTOWN 12, BROOKLYN 7 (Box) / 15 innings
Brooklyn got jammed by Jamestown yesterday despite scoring seven runs, one off the team's seasonal high. Generating offense has been an issue for the Cyclones of late, but they'll get some help in that department starting today, as Michael Conforto is scheduled to make his professional debut.
- C Adrian Abreu: 3-7, 2 R, 2B, RBI
- SS Amed Rosario: 1-7, R, 2 RBI, K

GCL CARDINALS 1, GCL METS 0 (Box)

Dominican Summer League score are here: Mets1 and Mets2
Star of the Night
On another evening, GCL Mets designated hitter Hengelbert Rojas might earn the honors based on name alone, but Robert Gsellman edges out Dilson Herrera for the star on account of it being a belated birthday gift.
Goat of the Night
T.J. Chism
