The Syracuse offense got just enough support to back a solid night from Jack Wenninger, while Binghamton’s pitching staff unraveled in a lopsided loss that turned ugly fast.
Syracuse beat St. Paul 6-2 behind Wenninger, who worked five innings and allowed two runs.
Kevin Parada supplied the big swing with a home run, and the lineup did the rest. Eric Wagaman finished 3-for-4, Ryan Clifford added two doubles, and only Billy Amick failed to reach base from the starting group.
D’Andre Smith went 2-for-5 with a run and a double, while Émilien Pitre also turned in a 2-for-4 night with a run, a double and a walk. Vidal Bruján drove in a run, Nick Lorusso chipped in a hit, a run and an RBI, and MJ Melendez drew two walks despite going hitless. Parada’s line - 1-for-3 with a run, a homer, two RBI and a walk - was the headline act.
Wenninger struck out seven and was followed by a clean bullpen effort from Dylan Ross, Cameron Weston, Ryan Lambert, Ben Simon and Matt Turner.
The story in Double-A was much harsher. Portland rolled past Binghamton 14-6, and the Rumble Ponies never recovered after a disastrous stretch from the mound. Parker Carlson was hit hardest, giving up six earned runs in one inning and effectively putting the game away.
There were still bright spots in the Binghamton lineup. Mitch Voit went 2-for-5 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base, and Jacob Reimer launched a home run while driving in three.
Jefferson Rojas doubled, Jamari Baylor scored twice, and Eddinson Paulino picked up two RBI. But the offense could only do so much against a pitching line that kept bleeding runs.
Luke Gabrysh, Douglas Orellana, Calvin Ziegler, Dakota Hawkins and Carlson all appeared for Binghamton, with Carlson’s inning becoming the defining moment of the night. Gabrysh allowed four runs over 3.1 innings, Orellana gave up three more in two-thirds of an inning, and Hawkins was charged with one run over two innings.
Eric Wagaman earned Star of the Night honors, while Parker Carlson was the GOAT of the Night.

Mets Deadline Haul Could Answer Several Roster Questions Faster Than Expected
The trade deadline gave the Mets a much deeper look at their future, and the list of newcomers is long enough to matter right away. Jefferson Rojas, Sammy Stafura, Emilien Pitre, Gabe Davis, Luke Gabrysh, Billy Amick, Gary Gill Hill and Aidan Smith all arrived as part of a prospect haul that reshapes the organizations depth chart in several spots, from the infield to the mound.
Billy Amick is the name that may draw the quickest attention because of the potential fit at first base, but he is far from the only one who could force the issue. The broader appeal here is timing: several of the players brought in at the deadline are now positioned to move through the system on a track that could answer roster questions sooner than expected, with one scenario even putting every prospect from the Freddy Peralta trade in the majors by 2027.

Bo Bichette Gives Mets Fans A Huge Offseason Decision To Watch
Bo Bichettes future has already become an offseason subplot worth monitoring in Queens, even with the 2026 season still ahead. The Mets are tied to his contract through a player option worth $42 million for the 2027 season, and that looming choice gives the organization a possible path to keep one of the games most recognizable hitters in place.
Bichette is expected to wait until October, after the 2026 season, to decide whether to exercise the option or test free agency. The deadline comes five days after the World Series, and because the Mets are not in this years postseason, the clock on that decision feels a little more distant for now, even if the discussion around it is already starting to take shape.

Brett Batys Hot Stretch Isnt Ending One Big Mets Debate
Brett Batys recent run has given the Mets exactly the kind of jolt they hoped to see when they handed him more responsibility, even if it has come with a nagging left knee issue in the background. Over his last 18 games, he has hit .357/.404/.667, a stretch that has helped reinforce why the club keeps giving him chances while also using him as a super utility option around the infield.
The problem for the Mets is that one hot stretch does not settle the bigger question around Batys role. His long-term consistency and development are still open issues, and the organization has other young infield prospects who could eventually be in the mix for playing time. For now, Baty is making a strong case to stay involved, but the larger debate about where he fits in the clubs future is still very much alive. [Read more 🡒]
