Minors 7.6.15: Tyler Badamo sharp in Cyclones' walk-off win

ALBUQUERQUE at LAS VEGAS (ppd.)

PORTLAND 5, BINGHAMTON 4: The B-Mets stranded the tying run in scoring position in the seventh and eighth innings and left another man on base in the ninth en route to their fifth straight loss. Starter Robert Gsellman (2-5) allowed five runs in six innings. Dustin Lawley's two-run homer in the fourth pulled the B-Mets within 4-3. Portland answered with a long ball in the sixth inning, when Jake Romanski drove a pitch beyond the left-field fence against Gsellman for a two-run cushion. With Binghamton trailing 5-3 in the seventh, Luis Diaz allowed back-to-back singles to begin the frame. Left-hander Robby Scott entered and induced a foul pop-up from Gavin Cecchini. Scott proceeded to strike out L.J. Mazzilli. A balk pushed both baserunners ahead, but Scott struck out Michael Conforto to escape the jam. Lawley had an RBI double in the eighth. Representing the tying run, Lawley was left at second when Scott got pinch hitter Aderlin Rodriguez to fly out. Box

FORT MYERS 9, ST. LUCIE 0: Jairo Perez mustered two of the Mets' three hits as Fort Myers' Stephen Gonsalves and Matt Summers combined on the shutout. Victor Cruzado doubled to extend his hitting streak to eight games. The Miracle tagged Mets starter Miller Diaz for five runs (four earned) on 10 hits in seven innings. With the Miracle leading 2-0 in the fifth, Diaz recorded the opening two outs. Alex Swim then hit a liner that went off the glove of second baseman Phillip Evans. With the inning prolonged, Mitch Garver singled and Marcus Knecht belted a three-run homer. The Miracle plated its final four runs in the eighth against David Roseboom. Only one of the runs charged to Roseboom was earned because of first baseman Dominic Smith's error earlier in the frame. Box

GREENVILLE 8, SAVANNAH 7: Vicente Lupo had an RBI triple and scored on a wild pitch in the top of the eighth to pull the Gnats even at 7, but Greenville plated the decisive run in the bottom half against Dawrin Frias. Gnats starter Casey Delgado allowed seven runs on nine hits and a walk in five innings. Eudor Garcia homered and drove in three runs in the loss. Box

KINGSPORT 5, GREENEVILLE 4: Pinch runner Jose Figuera scored on a fielding error in the bottom of the ninth as the K-Mets earned a walk-off win. Dash Winningham's solo homer in the eighth had evened the score at 4. Box

BROOKLYN 2, WILLIAMSPORT 1 (10 innings): Despite mustering only three hits in the game, the Cyclones won in walk-off fashion. Pinch hitter Michael Bernal had a leadoff walk in the bottom of the 10th. Pinch runner Jeff Diehl advanced to second on Alfredo Reyes' sacrifice bunt. Diehl then scored on a throwing error by pitcher Anthony Sequeira on Tucker Tharp's grounder. Starter Tyler Badamo limited Williamsport to one unearned run on four hits and a walk in seven innings. Box

GCL CARDINALS 7, GCL METS 1: Starter Adonis Uceta allowed seven runs (four earned) on 11 hits in five innings. Box
