COLUMBUS 6, SYRACUSE 5 (BOX)
Syracuse ran out to a 3-0 lead, on the back of a two run home run by Luke Ritter, and a solo shot by Carlos Cortes. Starter Justin Jarvis, who the Mets got for Mark Canha at the deadline, was good in his limited start, surrendering just one run (a solo homer) in 4.1 innings. The bullpen, however, was not up to holding onto the lead, as Hunter Parsons and Nate Lavender surrendered five runs to blow the lead.
