AA Eastern League: Binghamton 8/13/0, Akron 7/11/3, in 10 innings

The BMets made like the big Mets @ Citifield, racing away to 4 triples, 2 by Brahiam Maldonado, as they won 8-7 in extras. Brad Holt had an awful outing, getting just one out, while giving up 5 runs on 3 hits, a walk and HBP. Josh Stinson came in with the bases loaded and allowed all 3 IHR to score, then allowed one of his own, before settling down and pitching a solid 4 innings of long relief, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits.

A+ Florida State League: St. Lucie 3/6/2, Fort Myers 5/6/4

Jeurys Familia was scratched from his outing tonight, as of now, we don't know why. So, it was a bullpen game for the Mets, and they held the lead going to the top of the 9th, but with their regular closer forced to pitch 3 innings of long relief, Jose Bierd came in for the save and blew it, allowing 3 runs to take the loss.

The offense for the Mets had just 6 hits, 2 walks and one hit with RISP (in 9 ABs), while leaving 6 on base and striking out 9 times. Richard Lucas, Jean Luc Blaquiere (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .200) and Seth Williams (0 for 4, K, .083) took 0-fers. Reese Havens made his 2010 debut and was 1 for 3.
