Minors 5.22.15: Bobby Parnell, Vic Black Binghamton-bound

OKLAHOMA CITY 6, LAS VEGAS 3: Tyler Pill allowed six runs in six innings. Box

BINGHAMTON 3, AKRON 2: Jayce Boyd’s first homer in 59 games broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth. Matt Koch and Paul Sewald combined to retire all 10 batters they faced out of the bullpen. Both Akron runs were unearned. Binghamton opened the scoring in the second inning on David Cooper's RBI double. Akron took a 2-1 lead in the third. Third baseman Dustin Lawley's error began the frame. Bryson Myles then produced an RBI double. After retiring the next two batters, Michael Fulmer surrendered a go-ahead RBI double to Erik Gonzalez. In the fifth, Eudy Pina singled with one out and stole second. Gilbert Gomez singled to drive him in and even the score at 2. It was Gomez’s seventh hit of the year, but his fifth RBI. In the sixth, Fulmer issued a one-out walk, then had to deal with Lawley's second error. Koch entered and needed just one pitch to induce an inning-ending double play from Myles. Boyd had the tiebreaking homer a half-inning later. It was his first long ball since Aug. 22, 2014, also against Akron. Koch (2-2) earned the win for his 2 2/3 perfect innings of relief. Box

ST. LUCIE 3, DUNEDIN 1: Rob Whalen earned his second straight victory after going winless in his first five starts. He combined with three relievers to limit Dunedin to three hits. Whalen tossed 98 pitches in 5 2/3 innings and surrendered one run. Robby Coles got the final out of the sixth in dramatic fashion. With Matt Dean at second base, Mitch Nay singled to left field. Michael Conforto gunned out Dean at the plate to preserve a 2-1 lead. In his seventh rehab appearance with St. Lucie, Bobby Parnell worked a scoreless inning. Parnell walked a batter but did not give up a hit in the seventh. He struck out Dickie Joe Thon, stranding Derrick Loveless on third base. Parnell’s rehab will now move to Binghamton, as will Vic Black's assignment. Josh Smoker, recently promoted for Savannah, retired all six batters he faced to earn his first Florida State League save. The Mets took a 2-0 lead in the third thanks to Jays starter Jairo Labourt's wildness. Labourt walked Adrian Abreu and Champ Stuart to start the inning. After Phillip Evans advanced the runners with a groundout, Abreu and Stuart scored on wild pitches. Thon led off the bottom half with a double. He ultimately scored on Roemon Fields’ groundout to make it 2-1. The Mets added an insurance run in the seventh. Back-to-back singles by Amed Rosario and Yeixon Ruiz put runners on the corners. Abreu then drove in Rosario with a groundout. Dominic Smith and Jhoan Urena both departed midgame -- Smith after getting ejected following a called third strike. Box

SAVANNAH 4, ROME 2; SAVANNAH 5, ROME 2: Josh Prevost allowed two runs (one earned) in a seven-inning complete game in the doubleheader opener. John Mora tripled and drove in two runs. In the nightcap, David Roseboom recorded the final five outs to earn the victory. Box 1, Box 2
