DURHAM 5, SYRACUSE 0 (BOX)
Syracuse did not get anything going in this loss, amassing just three singles and two walks on the evening. Durham starter Elvin Rodriguez was excellent, tossing seven scoreless innings, striking out eight. The Mets simply had no answer for him.
An important note: Ronny Maruicio played second base for the first time ever yesterday, an interesting tidbit in an otherwise uninteresting game. Despite the 0-3 today he is OPSing 1.124, and may have played himself into the plans of the 2023 New York Mets.
