Major League rehabber Kodai Senga and Yankees #17 prospect Yoendrys Gómez each pitched a 1-2-3 frame to start off the ballgame.
Syracuse was able to drive in the first run in the second inning. An RBI single from Yolmer Sanchez made it 1-0, but Gómez stranded the bases loaded to keep it at that.
Luke Ritter tacked on another with a solo shot for the Mets.
The RailRiders got on the board in the fourth. Oswald Peraza earned a walk and T.J. Rumfield’s knock moved him to third. A sacrifice fly off the bat of Agustín Ramírez made it 2-1.
SWB had some runners on the base paths but could not drive in another against Senga and fellow MLB rehabber Shintaro Fujinami.
The bullpen kept Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the game. Alex Mauricio, Scott Effross, Anthony Misiewicz, and Ron Marinaccio (W, 1-2) each worked scoreless appearances.
Down to their final three outs, the RailRiders worked quickly to bounce back off of Valley View native Max Kranick (L, 1-1). Jeter Downs began with a double and Taylor Trammell connected for a two-run shot to take the lead. Trammell’s homer sailed 422 feet for a 3-2 advantage.
