Syracuse, N.Y. The Syracuse Mets came back from five runs down to take a lead, but the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders offense was too much as the Mets fell to the RailRiders, 15-10, on Sunday afternoon.
Jake Hager went 4-for-4 with two walks for the Mets, extending his hitting streak to six games.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (5-1) jumped out to a 5-0 lead over the first three innings. Trey Amburgey had an RBI single in the first inning for a 1-0 edge, Luke Voit knocked in two runs with a double in the second for a 3-0 advantage, and Amburgey hit a two-run home run in the third to make it a 5-0 ballgame.

It sounds like a marketing pitch: See tomorrow’s stars today. Minor League Baseball has been using some variation of the idea for decades.
But in baseball, there’s plenty of truth to it. Almost nobody goes from being drafted to the majors. Long-time minor league fans can tick off long lists of players who are now brand names that they saw on the way up.
Miguel Andújar is on his way back to the Bronx.
The Yankees called up Andújar to their big-league roster on Friday morning, replacing right-hander Albert Abreu, who was optioned down to Triple-A.
Andújar played for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders for three games, during their opening series of the 2021 minor league season, starting in left field each time out. After an 0-for-4 night in his first game, Andújar has been red hot at the plate.
Over his last two contests, Andújar has gone 6-for-11 with three home runs and five RBI. On Thursday night, Andújar went 4-for-5, slugging two long balls while driving in three runs in the RailRiders 17-11 win over the Syracuse Mets.
