New Orleans 2, Omaha 3
Tony Armas had another quality outing, but once again, his offense gave him nothing to work with, so he took another ND. This time, he went 6, allowing 5 hits and 2 runs. Brandon Knight worked a hitless 2 innings in relief, and Carlos Muniz gave up the winning run in the top of the 10th inning.
The offense was held to just 6 hits and 2 runs (on 2 solo homers by Val Pascucci and the woefully inept Anderson Hernandez). Abraham Nunez (0 for 5, .193), Chris Aguila (lf) 0 for 4, BB, K, .293, Raul Casanova (c) 0 for 5, K, .326, and John Rodriguez (0 for 1, 3 BBs, .278) took 0-fers.

The offense managed just 7 hits, but augmented them with 5 walks, and 3 homers didn't hurt, either. The big blow was a 3 run homer from Nick Evans in the 5th, his 12th of the season. Mike Carp followed with his 10th homer, a solo shot. Jose Coronado (0 for 3, run, BB, 2 Ks, .256), Ambi Concepcion (0 for 4, K, .248) and Emmanuel Garcia (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .221) took 0-fers.

German Marte pitched the final 2 innings for his 2nd save. Off an outstanding Game 1, Carrera and Tejada struggled, going a combined 1 for 6 (Carrera had the lone hit). The 234 hitters in the Mets order (Tejada, Duda, Mendez) were 0 for 9 with 2 Ks, Lucas Duda's 0-fer dropped his average below .270 for the first time since very early April.

Kingsport 1, Bristol 0
A night after waxing Johnson City 13-4, the Mets enjoyed a crisp pitchers duel, a game which only took 2 hours and 17 minutes. Oscar Melendez, Travis Babin and Erik Turgeon combined on the 4 hit shutout, Melendez picking up his first victory, Turgeon his first save.
The KMets themselves were 8 hit, with the only RBI going to Stefan Welch, the run going to Dock Doyle. Richard Lucas was removed after just 1 AB, something to keep an eye on. Welch and Lucas' replacement, Imbewer Alvarez, took 0-fers.
