          LAS VEGAS 12, RENO 0: Steven Matz took a no-hit bid with two outs into the seventh, when ex-Met Nick Evans singled. Matz completed seven innings, striking out five and walking one. Matt Reynolds and Alex Castellanos homered. Box

          NEW HAMPSHIRE 10, BINGHAMTON 5: B-Mets starter Gabriel Ynoa allowed a season-high six runs on 10 hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings. He surrendered two homers. Jared King went 2-for-5 with a double, homer and two RBIs in the loss. Trailing 3-0, the B-Mets clawed back with three doubles in the fourth against John Anderson. Brandon Nimmo opened the inning with a two-bagger and scored Binghamton’s first run when Aderlin Rodriguez lined a double into the right-center alley. Josh Rodriguez cut the deficit to one run by banging a double off the center-field wall. However, New Hampshire answered against Ynoa. Dwight Smith Jr. laced a two-run single in the fourth and Ryan Schimpf launched a solo homer in the fifth, Ynoa’s final inning. King belted a two-run homer in the seventh, slicing New Hampshire’s lead to three runs. Down 8-5, the B-Mets mustered one last threat in the eighth, putting two aboard with one out. Reliever Cory Burns extinguished the threat by inducing Gilbert Gomez to bounce into an inning-ending double play. The Fisher Cats tacked on two runs against Adam Kolarek in the bottom half. Box

          ST. LUCIE 4, FORT MYERS 3 (17 innings): Maikis De La Cruz delivered a sacrifice fly to right field in the 17th to plate Champ Stuart for the walk-off win. The game lasted five hours, three minutes. Robby Coles, Akeel Morris, Kyle Regnault and Kelly Secrest combined for 11 scoreless relief innings. Box

          CHARLESTON 1, SAVANNAH 0: Casey Meisner allowed one run on five hits and two walks in six innings in the hard-luck loss. The lone run came in the fourth inning, when Dustin Fowler singled, stole second, advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher Tyler Moore and scored on a sacrifice fly. David Roseboom contributed two no-hit relief innings with five strikeouts. Savannah was no-hit until Jonathon Johnson's one-out single in the sixth. The Gnats mustered only three hits on the night.
