Minors Game Thread: Wenninger Looks to Bounce Back in Binghamton

The big club has the day off, but all five of the Mets’ minor league affiliates are in action today. The FCL Mets already took down the Astros’ squad thanks to homers by Bohan Adderley, Daniel Silva, and Jeffry Rosa. In Binghamton, Jack Wenninger will try to rebound after his first rough outing of the year, and R.J. Gordon will look to continue his hot start to the year for Brooklyn.
