Cortes hit a double, he now has 22 on the season. Mangum hit his sixth home run of the season on Thursday and continues to display a power surge people never really saw at Mississippi State. Six home runs is more than he had his entire four years in college.
- LHP Josh Walker (W, 4-1) 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, BB, 5 K, 2.97 ERA
The 6’6″ left handed Walker continued his impressive 2021 campaign with another scoreless outing. Walker has been a pleasant surprise this season for the Mets as he was a former 37th round pick in 2017. For the season, Walker has a 2.97 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and has struck out 62 batters in 60 innings.
Brooklyn Cyclones: PPD, make up doubleheader on Saturday, July 10th at 4:05
Low-A Fort Myers Mighty Mussels 9 (32-25), St. Lucie Mets 7 (30-27) Box Score
- CF Johneshwy Fargas 1 for 4, HR, 3 RBI, R, 2 SO, .239/.314/.478
- RF-CF Alex Ramirez 1 for 5, R, SB, 3 SO, .250/.308/.375
St. Lucie was ahead early scoring six runs in the first three innings up 6-1. Fargas hit a three-run home run in the third inning, which means he has now homered in back-to-back games starting his rehab stint.
Ramirez had a hit and snagged his 11th stolen base of the season today while fanning three times as well. The 18 year old continues to display his potential as he develops in St. Lucie.
Infielder Edgardo Fermin had a big game with two hits, two walks, a stolen base, and his first home run of the season. The 23-year-old was playing in just his seventh game after the season following an injury that occurred on Opening Night.
Outfielder Joe Suozzi stole his 13 base of the season, he has yet to be thrown out.
- RHP Oscar Rojas 6 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 2.54 ERA
June’s pitcher of the month Oscar Rojas was on the bump today for St. Lucie as he was dealing through six. Rojas was dealt a big blow late in his outing when he gave up a three-run homer in the top of the seventh inning.
