*All results from games played on Monday, July 28th, 2014
Triple-A - Las Vegas 51's (62-49)_______________________________________
SALT LAKE 3, LAS VEGAS 5 (Box)
- CF Matt den Dekker: 2-5, 2 R, 2B, K
- SS Matt Reynolds: 3-5, R, 3B, RBI
- RF Andrew Brown: 0-4, 2 K
- 1B Josh Satin: 2-3, R, HR, 2 RBI, BB
- C Kevin Plawecki: 2-4, RBI
- 3B Danny Muno: 0-4, 3 K
- OF Cesar Puello: Somebody tell somebody that Puello's on the 40-man.
- 2B Anthony Seratelli: 2-4, 2 K
- LHP John Lannan: 6 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 0 ER, BB, K
Double-A - Binghamton Mets (63-45)_____________________________________
BINGHAMTON 1, TRENTON 5 (Box)
- CF Brandon Nimmo: 1-3, BB, K
- LF Kyle Johnson: 0-3, BB
- 2B Dilson Herrera: DNP; For me, Herrera is the top prospect I'm most willing to part with. He's definitely a valuable asset but he also plays a position the Mets could most easily secure for the long term by extending Murph.
- SS T.J. Rivera: 1-3, RBI
- LF Dustin Lawley: 0-4, 3 K
- 1B Jayce Boyd: 2-4
- DH Darrell Ceciliani: 1-3, BB, K
- 3B Rylan Sandoval: 1-4, R, 2 K
- LHP Steven Matz: 5.1 IP, 10 H, 5 R, 4 ER, BB, 4 K; This was Matz's worst outing since his Double-A debut when he allowed five earned in five and two thirds. Still, you have to be impressed with the way he's handled the adjustment to the new level. His continued emergence this year has provided the Mets flexibility as the trade deadline approaches.
Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (18-17 / 58-46)_____________________________________
DUNEDIN 6, ST LUCIE 7 (Box)
The St. Lucie Mets rallied for a couple of runs in the bottom of the ninth to send the game to extras where they won in the bottom of the twelfth to snap an eight game losing streak. The losing streak has almost certainly taken them out of contention for a spot in the postseason. On the bright side, Gavin Cecchini had three hits and is now flirting with a .200 average.
- 3B Jeff McNeil: 1-5, R, RBI, K
- REHAB ALERT SS Wilfredo Tovar: 3-4, R, 2B, 3B, 2 RBI, 2 BB
- C Cam Maron: 0-5, BB, 2 K
- LF Jared King: 0-6, 3 K
- 2B L.J. Mazzilli: 1-6, RBI
- DH Gavin Cecchini: 3-6, R
- 1B Albert Cordero: 3-6, R, RBI; Knocked in Cecchini for the winning run in the 12th.
- CF Gilbert Gomez: 2-4, 2 R, 2B, BB, K
- RF Eudy Pina: 1-4, R
- RHP Domingo Tapia: 6 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 4 K

GAME TWO
SAVANNAH 7, LEXINGTON 2 (Box)
- 1B Dominic Smith: 2-2, 2 R, 2 BB
- OF Champ Stuart: DNP; Hasn't started since Friday. Pinch ran on Saturday--stealing two bases--but hasn't played since. Must have some kind of nagging injury.
- RHP Miller Diaz: 4.1 IP, H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 K
- RHP Akeel Morris: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
Short-A - Brooklyn Cyclones (22-22)__________________________________
BROOKLYN 8, LOWELL 5 (Box)
- C Adrian Abreu: 1-4, RBI, BB, K
- SS Amed Rosario: 2-5, R, 2B, K; He's hitting over .300 and has an on-base percentage over .350 as one of the youngest players in the league.
- 3B Jhoan Urena: 0-5
- LF Michael Conforto: 1-4, 2 R, BB, 2 K; Described as "a man among boys" by Jason Parks of Baseball Prospectus, Conforto has raked since joining Brooklyn. This is what you would expect him to do at this level so my main reaction to this is just relief.
- RF Michael Bernal: 1-5, R, HR, RBI, 2 K
- 1B William Fulmer: 1-4, R, 2B, 2 RBI, BB, K
- DH Tomas Nido: 1-3, R, RBI
