Mets Come Back Late to Top Yankees, 9-4
Tampa got a big-time effort from pitcher Jesús Bartolo, but it wasn't enough to keep the St. Lucie Mets from winning the game, 9-4. Bartolo threw 7.0 innings allowing 1 run for the losing team. The win boosted St. Lucie to 68-48.

St. Lucie used the timely hitting of Arturo Granados to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Mets on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," Granados said in postgame remarks. "Soon enough, the finish line will be in sight."
