Gimenez leads Rumble Ponies' charge

Expectations for 19-year-olds are generally tempered and with good reason. Andrés Giménez, however, is no ordinary teenager.
The top Mets prospect doubled, singled and drove in three runs as Double-A Binghamton rolled past Akron, 10-1, on Thursday night at NYSEG Stadium.
Gimenez is batting .364 with six multi-hit performances in 12 games this month -- including four of his last six outings -- and has hit safely in 10 of 11 games overall.

Hitless for the first time in August on Wednesday, MLB.com's No. 59 overall prospect grounded out to third base in the first inning and to shortstop in the third. Gimenez stroked a two-RBI double to left field and scored on 12th-ranked Mets prospect Tomás Nido's single during the five-run fifth. He popped out to short in the sixth.
