Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (1-0)

SYRACUSE 5, SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE 2 (BOX)

Jordan Yamamoto was originally scheduled to start this game, but because Jacob deGrom was a late scratch for his start, the right-hander was summoned to St. Louis to join the Mets. In his place, veteran Jerad Eickoff made the start. The 30-year-old didn’t miss a beat, throwing six innings of two-run ball, giving up both runs on a Socrates Brito home run in the top of the fourth. Those two runs tied things up, as Syracuse scored a pair in the third, but the game wouldn’t stay tied long, as the Mets scored another two in the fifth and tacked on an additional run on a David Thompson solo homer in the sixth.
