Buffalo, NY - The Syracuse Mets won their first series since mid-April after beating the Buffalo Bisons, 7-4, on Sunday afternoon at Sahlen Field. With the win, the Mets took four out of six games this past week against the Bisons. Syracuse has now won five of its last seven games.
Buffalo (31-38) didn't waste much time taking the lead in the
bottom of the first inning. Otto Lopez led off with a double, moved to third
base on a Nathan Lukes groundout, and Lopez scored on a Davis Schneider
sacrifice fly out to center field for a 1-0 lead.
Syracuse (28-40) struck back in the top of the third. Carlos Cortes singled, Nick Meyer singled, and Danny Mendick walked to load the bases.
Ronny Mauricio then grounded out to first base, but Cortes scored on the play
to tie the game, 1-1. Luke Voit followed with a double off the left-field wall
that brought home Meyer and Mendick to give the Mets a 3-1 advantage.
The Bisons responded in the bottom of the third. With one out,
Jordan Luplow walked, and a pitch hit Wynton Bernard. A wild pitch moved Luplow
to third and Bernard to second. Then, with two outs, Luis De Los Santos singled
home Luplow and Bernard, knotting the game up, 3-3.
The Mets jumped back on top in the seventh. Luke Ritter had a
one-out single, and Meyer worked a two-out walk to put runners on first and
second. Mendick and Mauricio both followed with RBI singles that put Syracuse
back in front, 5-3.
Syracuse extended its advantage in the top of the eighth. Jonathan Araúz singled, Jaylin Davis walked, and with one out, Ritter singled to load
the bases. Cortes then hit a sac fly to left field that scored Araúz to make it
a 6-3 ballgame. Meyer followed with a single to right-center field as Davis
came home to give the Mets their largest lead of the game, 7-3.
Buffalo trimmed their deficit in the bottom of the eighth. Luplow
led off the frame with a solo home run down the right-field line to make it a 7-4
ballgame. That's as close as the Bisons would get as the Mets secured the
victory.
Syracuse has an off day on Monday before continuing a two-week
road trip on Tuesday with the first game of a six-game series against the
Durham Bulls. First pitch in Durham on Tuesday is scheduled for 6:35 p.m.
Luke Voit left a dent in the wall in Buffalo.
