The Mets No. 1 prospect Jefferson Rojas continues to make his mark, crushing another home run for Double-A Binghamton. Ronny Mauricio went yard for the 18th time this season for Syracuse and and Colin Houck, the team's first-round pick in 2023 hit his ninth HR of the season for Brooklyn. On the mound, Houck's teammate, Daviel Hurtado, a crafty young lefty from Cuba, allowed just a single earned run and struck out four over five innings.

The Mets manager was happy with his rookie outfielder A.J. Ewing's two-run HR and his renewed approach at the plate after getting a couple of days off.
