The ball was flying out of the ballpark in Syracuse on Thursday evening, with the two teams combining for 26 runs, 31 hits, and 12 home runs. The Mets scored more runs last night than their Major League squad did in an entire three-game series sweep against the Royals, and they still lost by eight. Where do we start with this?
Before we get to the standout performance from Stephen Scott, the third inning carried the majority of the action. David Hamilton (12) and Ceddanne Rafaela (9) went back-to-back early in the inning. That’s three nights in a row for Rafaela.
