5/27 Minor League Report!

New Orleans 4, Round Rock 3

Nelson Figueroa made his first start for the Zs, and it was a very good one, he went 8 innings, allowing 9 hits and 3 runs while striking out 8. Nate Field worked the 9th for his 5th save.

The offense was led by the multi hit games of Argenis Reyes and Chris Aguila in the 2-3 spots (each also had an RBI), and the 8-9 hitters, who also had an RBI apiece. Anderson Hernandez (0 for 4, .191), Val Pascucci (0 for 4, K, .290), Michel Abreu (0 for 4, .224), and Abraham Nunez (0 for 1, run, BB, .202) took 0-fers.

Binghamton 2, Portland 6

Eric Reed singled twice and scored 2 runs out of the leadoff spot, but those were the only runs scored by Binghamton, as ineffective starting pitching (story of the season outside of select non-Niese starts) once again plagued the Mets, dropping them to 2 under .500 at 24-26.

The offense managed just 7 hits and 2 runs, themselves, with the middle of the order going 2 for 11 with a 2b and 2 RBI. Robinson Cancel made a rehab appearance, going 0 for 4.
