Minors Game Chat: Sproat, Dohm Look to Keep Rolling

The big club has already taken care of business, and now it’s time for the minor league teams to shine as all four of the Mets’ full-season affiliates play this evening. Brandon Sproat will look to carry his momentum from his strong start last week for Syracuse, while in Brooklyn, Nate Dohm will aim to keep his recent hot stretch going. In Binghamton, Jack Wenninger will try to bounce back from a rare rough outing.

Earlier today, the DSL Blue squad fell to the Yankees’ affiliate 4-2, while the Orange squad downed the Cardinals’ affiliate 5-3. The FCL Mets were held to just one hit in a 5-0 loss to the Marlins’ team.
