Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (50-73)
BUFFALO 8, SYRACUSE 5 (BOX)
Once again, pitching let Syracuse down. Adam Oller gave up four runs over four innings, and his replacement, Jake Reed, was even worse, giving up three runs while just recording a single out. Mark Payton has been a one-man wrecking crew this week, hitting two more homers, but it just wasn’t enough.
