Mets

The Mets top pitching prospects were at it again on Tuesday, dominating their opponents. Jonah Tong struck out eight hitters over five innings of shutout ball for Double-A Binghamton, dropping his ERA to 1.58. He fanned top Yankees prospect George Lombard Jr. twice with fastballs in the mid-90's. Nolan McLean pitched into the sixth inning for Triple-A Syracuse, not allowing a run and striking out six batters. He now has 113 strikeouts in 103.0 innings pitched between Double and Triple-A.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza addressed the team's struggling offense in their 3-2 loss to the Guardians saying "we really got nothing going after the second inning." He credited the Guardians with having a good game plan against the Mets hitters. Starter Clay Holmes produced a strong outing, striking out six and allowing two runs. He was pleased with the return of his bread and butter pitch, the sinker, after a period of ineffectiveness. Brandon Nimmo feels the best way for the team to bounce back is to "have a short-term memory" and that baseball has always been a game of streaks.

It was a long day at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, with GM Brian Cashman making several deals at the trade deadline. That coupled with a nearly three-hour rain delay turned the Yankees 7-4 win over the Rays into a marathon. Manager Aaron Boone is "excited" about the new additions to the relief core with closer Devin Williams adding that Camilo Doval throws "a hundred miles an hour." Giancarlo Stanton offered that the win made the endless wait worthwhile.
