The stacked Syracuse Mets came away with a win and some highlights.
While the New York Mets were only able to muster up a single run on a lone hit on Friday, the Syracuse Mets were able to cross the plate 6 times. The most notable came with the pair of Drew Gilbert and Luisangel Acuna going back-to-back in the fourth inning.
In case you were too busy admiring the home runs to notice in the graphics, they both came against Robert Gsellman. Just a little bit of coincidence to note.
The hype for Gilbert and Acuna didn’t grow much this spring as neither played a whole lot. They never were in consideration to make the Opening Day roster. After one day of play for them and the big league squad, we should expect the fans to get a little louder if things continue the way they began.
How did other Mets players in Triple-A do?
Maybe the most important revelation from this game was Joey Lucchesi. The starter for Syracuse allowed one unearned run in his five innings. Oh, to have a starting pitcher go five. He surrendered two hits, walked one, and struck out five batters. Reed Garrett would toss two clean innings with another four strikeouts. It was a good start for the Mets pitching depth in this one. Those two will be early considerations for a promotion
