Moosic, PA - The Syracuse Mets came up short in a 6-1 loss to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on Wednesday afternoon at PNC Field.

After a scoreless first, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (76-49, 38-15) got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the second inning. Jose Rojas doubled to start the inning, and Bryan De La Cruz hit an RBI double to put the RailRiders on top, 1-0.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre extended its lead in the fifth and put the game out of reach. To start the inning, Jeimer Candelario singled. Braden Shewmake then singled, sending Candelario to third, but a throwing error by right fielder José Azocar scored Candelario and gave the RailRiders a 2-0 lead.
