Smith's Seventh-Inning Homer and Binghamton's Surge Stand Out in Mets Minor-League Results

Overview

• On Monday, Triple-A Syracuse edged Worcester when D’Andre Smith hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh and recently activated reliever Jack Weisenburger threw three scoreless innings to preserve the win.
• Double-A Binghamton beat Altoona 7-3 behind homers from Jefferson Rojas and Corey Collins and a seven-strikeout, four-inning relief outing from Gabe Davis.
• The Mets placed RHP Justin Hagenman on a rehab assignment and first baseman Mark Vientos made a rehab appearance for Binghamton, temporarily boosting the club’s depth.
• High-A Brooklyn pummeled Asheville 12-1 as Sammy Stafura had three hits and Yonatan Henriquez homered, while Single-A St. Lucie fell 12-2 after starter Jose Lopez loaded the bases and the bullpen allowed multiple runs.
• Binghamton’s hot August run has cut its gap in the division and makes its upcoming series with Reading a meaningful test for playoff positioning and for how the organization manages rehab assignments and prospect promotions.
