Mets Minors: Ronny Mauricio Homers for Syracuse

Ronny Mauricio made his second Triple-A appearance since returning from a knee injury, collecting three hits – including a home run and a double. The 23-year-old infielder will continue to log innings as he works his way back toward a return to the Major League club, which has struggled to score runs.

Triple-A

Rochester Red Wings (13-31) 9, Syracuse Mets (20-26) 4

Box Score

• 3B Ronny Mauricio: 3-for-5, R, HR (1), 2B, 2 RBI (1.556 OPS)
• CF Drew Gilbert, 1-for-5 (.723 OPS)
• DH Jon Singleton: 2-for-4, 2B, BB, K (.808 OPS)

The Syracuse Mets dropped their series opener to the Rochester Red Wings, 9–4. However, the night featured a bright spot as Ronny Mauricio made his second Triple-A appearance of the season and reminded everyone why he’s still part of the future in Queens. Mauricio recorded three hits, each with an exit velocity over 100 mph (107.7, 101.6, and 100.7), including a ninth inning 383-foot home run.

• RHP Brandon Sproat (6.69 ERA) 4 IP, 8 H, 7 R (6 ER), BB, 1 K
• RHP Justin Hagenman 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

Sproat’s rough May continued on Tuesday, as he gave up six more earned runs, bringing his monthly total to 13 ER over 13.1 innings pitched. The 24-year-old top prospect has managed just one scoreless outing across his nine starts in 2025.

Double-A

Binghamton Rumble Ponies (23-16) 4, Richmond Flying Squirrels (12-27) 1

Box Score

• RF Alex Ramirez: 3-for-4, HR (3), RBI (12), SB (12), 3 R (.734 OPS)
• 2B William Lugo: 2-for-3, R, 2B, RBI, BB (.678 OPS)
• SS Jett Williams, 1-for-3, 2B, BB (.905 OPS)

The Rumble Ponies pitched their way to an impressive 4-1 win over the Richmond Flying Squirrels. Former top prospect Alex Ramírez provided the offensive highlight with a walk-off home run to deep center field. Still just 22 years old, Ramírez has struggled to find consistency at the plate since his breakout 2022 season, hitting just 13 home runs across the three years that have followed.

• RHP Jack Wenninger (2.81 ERA) 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R (0 ER), 3 BB, 5 K
• RHP Anthony Nunez: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K

After allowing an unearned run in the first inning, Wenninger settled in and shut down the Flying Squirrels’ offense. Aside from two rough starts this season, Wenninger has been impressive in his third professional campaign – boasting a 10.37 K/9 while lowering his BB/9 to a career-low 2.38.

High-A

Jersey Shore BlueClaws (15-23) 6, Brooklyn Cyclones (26-13) 4

Box Score

• CF Carson Benge, 1-for-4, 3B, 2 BB, SB (7) (.937 OPS)
• 3B Jacob Reimer, 2-for-5, R, 2B, RBI, 2 K (1.082 OPS)
• LF A.J. Ewing, 1-for-5, R, SB (14), K (.957 OPS)
• 2B Marco Vargas: 1-for-4, RBI, K (.569 OPS)

The High Flying Cyclones fell to the Jersey Shore BlueClaws Tuesday evening, 6-4. Despite his .569 OPS, Marco Vargas has reached base in all 29 games he has played this season.

• RHP Brendan Girton (3.81 ERA) 4.1 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 4 K
• RHP Ryan Ammons 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K

While Girton possesses impressive stuff, he has yet to record a scoreless outing through eight starts in 2025. Relief pitcher Ryan Ammons is quietly putting together an elite season – allowing just two earned runs (both in a single appearance) over 13 innings pitched.

Low-A

St. Lucie Mets (21-19) 5, Jupiter Hammerheads (18-22) 6

Box Score

• C Daiverson Gutierrez: 2-for-5, R, HR (3), RBI (.612 OPS)
• 1B Trace Willhoite: 1-for-4, 2 R, 2B, BB, K (.882 OPS)

A big seventh inning from the Hammerheads handed the Low-A Mets a 6–5 loss on Tuesday night. Trace Willhoite continued his strong start to the season, collecting another extra-base hit to bring his total to 13.

• RHP Will Watson (2.32 ERA) 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K
• RHP Juan Arnaud 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

Box Score

• CF Edward Lantigua: 3-for-4, R, 2B, 2 RBI (.823 OPS)

• RHP Jose Chirinos (1.59 ERA) 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 K
