SYRACUSE 7, BUFFALO 4 (BOX)
The Mets’ strongest affiliate in terms of win-loss record picked up a win over the city that briefly served as the franchise’s Triple-A home, as Mike Vasil put up exactly a quality start with five strikeouts and no walks—one of his best outings of the year. Luisangel Acuña stayed hot with a pair of hits, but Brett Baty was the star of the show at the plate with three hits, two of which were home runs. And Max Kranick’s work out of the bullpen continues to be pretty decent, which might make him an appealing call-up option for the Mets as they enter an eight-game stretch without any off days—and without the suspended Edwin Díaz.
