Tong's Strong Comeback, Mauricio's Homer Spree

0:00On April 22nd, Jonah Tongue made a strong comeback Tuesday night for the Triple-A Syracuse Mets against the Worcester Wu-Sox. The young right-hander bounced back from a rough outing, tossing five and one-third innings while allowing just one run on four hits, two walks, and nine strikeouts. He threw 87 pitches, 60 of them strikes, and dropped his ERA from 7.04 to 5.66. Long-started hot, retiring six of the first seven batters with five strikeouts through three no-hit innings, though he issued a couple walks. He kept his scoreless until the sixth. When a double and a single lead in his only run, ending his night on a high note, Syracuse's offense backed him up big time, smashing four home runs in the first six innings alone. Ronnie Mauricio led the charge with two early blasts, then added a third, a two-run shot in the eighth for a three-homer game. Three seals on fire, now with five homers over his last four minor league games. In 14 games this season, he's hitting 315 with six homers, two doubles, and 13 RBIs.
