Mickey Jannis, possibly auditioning for a spot on the Mets’ roster with the bullpen being taxed early on in the season and no clear candidate grabbing the brass ring, was completely obliterated, allowing fourteen runs- ten earned- in three plus innings. The bullpen behind him was oddly effective, keeping the RailRiders off the board for the rest of the game, but the damage was already done and no amount of scoreless innings would dig Syracuse out of that hole.
ROSTER ALERT: New York Mets optioned LHP Ryan O’Rourke to Syracuse Mets.
