Carlos Narvaez tallies his 10th home run of the season on a two-run blast to left. He's the ninth RailRider to reach double-digit homers, tying the 1998 Red Barons record.#EverythingMajor #RepBX pic.twitter.com/CHUdFzmWvf
SWB tacked on more offense in the fourth. Wilmer Difo led off with a walk and Nelson Medina singled to put runners on the corners. A two-run double from Cordero plated them both. Narvaez followed with a two-bagger of his own for a 5-0 advantage.
The Mets broke up the shutout in the bottom half. An RBI single from Jaylen Palmer scored Brandon McIlwain for their first run of the game.
Syracuse added one more in the eighth with a base knock from Wyatt Young to bring home a run for a 5-2 game.
The RailRiders got it right back however. Narvaez was hit by a pitch to get on base and raced home on Jake Lamb's scorching double.

In the bottom of the ninth, the Mets were looking for their third straight rally. After a lead off walk and an error put two on, Daniel Palka doubled in a run for a 6-3 contest. Carlos Cortes knocked in one more, but Cordero made a game saving catch in right field to end it there.
