Rochester, NY - The Syracuse Mets came out of the gates slow in a 9-4 loss to the Rochester Red Wings on Sunday afternoon at Innovative Field.

To start the game, Christian Franklin and Nick Schnell singled, then Andrés Chaparro walked to load the bases. With one out, Andrew Pinckney hit a two-run single, putting the Red Wings on top, 2-0. Next, Trey Lipscomb singled, and Francisco Mejia drove in a run with an RBI knock, giving Rochester a 3-0 lead. With the bases loaded, Jackson Cluff hit a grand slam, extending the advantage, 7-0. Later in the inning, Schnell grounded into a force out, scoring Nuñez and stretching the Mets' deficit to 8-0.

The Red Wings added one more run in the fifth on a Christian Franklin RBI triple, growing their lead to 9-1.

In the top of the eighth, the Mets cut into the lead when Jett Williams walked and came around to score on an RBI single by Ryan Clifford, pulling it to a 9-2 game. Later in the frame, José Azocar tripled to score Clifford and make it 9-3. With Azocar at third, a wild pitch by Andry Lara, allowed him to score and cut the deficit to five, 9-4.
