Josh Satin and Josh Stinson have become the first September callups after last night’s games. Also Brooklyn continues its late season push for a playoff spot.
Syracuse 3, Buffalo 1
Mark Cohoon picked up his 10th AAA loss of the season after only giving up 3 runs (1 earned) on 5 hits in 6.1 innings, striking out 3. Josh Satin went 2-4 with a double and then got promoted to the big leagues. Jesus Feliciano homered. Jordany Valdespin hit a nice looking double to right-center field on a swing that reminded me of Fernando Martinez.
Binghamton 6, Erie 5
Jeurys Familia gave up 2 unearned runs on 5 hits and 2 walks, striking out 4 in 5 innings. Brad Holt pitched 1.2 scoreless innings to get the win, and Rhiner Cruz pitched a scoreless inning to get the save. Eric Campbell and Dusty Ryan both had 2 hits, including back-to-back homers. Brahaim Maldonado also homered. The B-Mets won despite 0 hits from Matt Den Dekker, Juan Lagares, and Reese Havens. It broke a 19 game hitting streak for Lagares who is now hitting a measly .386.
Fort Myers 11, St. Lucie 7
Armando Rodriguez got roughed up for 6 runs in 4 innings. Cory Mazzoni had his first rough performance giving up 3 runs (1 earned) on 3 hits in 1 inning, although he struck out 2. Josh Edgin gave up 2 runs (1 earned) on 2 hits and 2 walks. Eric Beaulac pitched a scoreless inning. Three errors didn’t really help the pitchers. Cesar Puello, Francisco Pena, and Rylan Sandoval all had 2 hits. Cory Vaughn hit a 2-run homer, his 8th in St. Lucie. Wilmer Flores was 1-5 with 3 RBI’s.
Brooklyn 4, Lowell 1
Jeffrey Walters had a good night, pitching 5 innings and giving up 1 run on 3 hits, striking out 5. Orlando Tovar and T.J. Chism both threw 2 scoreless innings; Chism struck out 3 and now has a 1.19 ERA. Daniel Muno and Richard Lucas both had 3 hits; Lucas with 2 doubles and Muno with 1 double. Charley Thurber had 2 hits, including a double. Williamsport, the affiliate of the hated Phillies, also won, so Brooklyn remains tied with them for the wildcard spot with 4 games to go.

Valdespin must be opening some eyes in the Mets front office this year. It’ll be interesting to see if he can keep hitting like this as he progresses.
