Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (28-31)
SYRACUSE 7, BUFFALO 6 ( BOX )
Syracuse and Buffalo went back and forth early on in this one. Buffalo ran out to a 2-0 lead in the second, but the Mets got both runs back in the third. Syracuse went ahead 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth, but would give it back in the top of the sixth — only to score four runs in the bottom of the frame to finally give one team a larger edge.
Despite that edge, Buffalo almost came back to tie it in the ninth, hitting a three run home run off of Dedniel Núñez, though the righty would close the door despite the push by the Bisons.
