Fun fact about 2016 Rosario: High-A, 10 2B, 8 3B, 66 Games, Double-A, 10 2B, 4 3B, 31 games. Evans hit his 6th homer.

- Paul Paez LHP 3 IP, 4 H, ER, 2 K 1.29 ERA

St. Lucie Mets 3 (61-50), Fort Myers Miracle 1 (Minnesota, 56-58) Box Score
- David Thompson DH 2 for 4, 2B, RBI, 2 K .283/.341/.392

Reyes has allowed three runs and has struck out 19 in his last 18.1 innings pitched.

- Andrew Church RHP 2 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, BB, 1.67 ERA
- Nicco Blank RHP 2 IP, ER, BB, 3 K 6.45 ERA
Word from the stadium was that Church felt ill and was pulled for that reason. Blank is an undersized reliever who can throw up to 95.
Brooklyn Cyclones 5 (27-25), Vermont Lake Monsters 4 (Oakland, 19-33) Box Score
- Gene Cone RF 3 for 5, 2 2B, 2 RBI .245/.331/.317
- Desmond Lindsay CF 2 for 4 .333/.469/.538
2016 10th rounder, Cone, has been underwhelming for Brooklyn this year. Lindsay has gone 6 for his last 14, including a home run and 3 walks. Brooklyn had a suicide-squeeze walk off to end the game.
- Merandy Gonzalez RHP 2 IP, 3 H, BB, K 3.40 ERA
- Joseph Zanghi RHP IP, H, K 1.86 ERA
Gonzalez was pulled after two innings, possibly for throwing a high amount of pitches in the second inning. Zanghi is a flamethrower that has been dominating the New York-Penn League.

- Sixto Torres LHP 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, ER, BB, 4 K 2.49
- Blake Taylor LHP IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, K 6.75 ERA
Torres is definitely an underrated arm to watch next year in Columbia. Taylor has struggled since returning from Tommy John Surgery, but that is to be expected.
