Cyclones Come Undone in the Eighth

In speaking with Ernest Dove during Thursday night's METSIAN PODCAST, we discussed 23-year-old right-hander Carson Seymour's progression through the farm system.  He made four relief appearances last season while playing in the (rookie) Florida Complex League, then began the 2022 season making four starts in seven appearances with the St. Lucie Mets.  Seymour never anticipated breaking the rotation upon his promotion to Brooklyn but was told the organization thought well of him as a starter when attending college.  

Making his ninth start for the Cyclones, Seymour held Hudson Valley to one earned run on four hits and three walks with nine strikeouts in six innings.  He walked off to a no-decision but not before lowering his ERA to a 3.68 mark through 51.1 innings pitched.

The Renegades took a one-run lead in the second, but another recent St. Lucie graduate, 19-year-old Alex Ramirez, tied the game with a home run in the fourth, then staked the Cyclones to a one-run lead with a run-scoring hit in the sixth.

However, the bullpen could not hold, yielding four runs (three unearned) in the eighth, from which the Cyclones could not recover.
