Minors 5.3.16: Dilson Herrera has monster game in return to 51s' lineup

LAS VEGAS 15, EL PASO 6: Dilson Herrera went 4-for-6 with a triple, two homers, four runs scored and five RBIs in his first start in a week. Herrera had been slowed by a sore lower back. Sean Gilmartin allowed four runs on eight hits while striking out three in five innings. He improved to 3-1 and has a 2.70 ERA. T.J. Rivera and Travis Taijeron also homered for the 51s. Gavin Cecchini and Taijeron had three hits apiece. Box

BINGHAMTON 13, PORTLAND 2: Niuman Romero drove in five runs and Dominic Smith added four RBIs to lead the B-Mets to their 13th consecutive win at Portland's Hadlock Field. The B-Mets set season highs for hits (18) and runs and had four different players record three-hit games. Romero opened his big night by ripping a two-run double in the first inning. Smith followed by launching a two-run homer. Binghamton put another four-spot on the board in the fourth. With a run already home in the inning, Romero launched Teddy Stankiewicz’s 2-1 offering into the right-field seats for his first homer this season. Andrew Barbosa picked up his first win. Coming off a 10-strikeout performance against Portland a week earlier, the southpaw set down eight of the first nine batters he faced. The lone blemish on Barbosa’s tab came in the fourth when Portland scored two runs. Romero failed to cleanly field a potential inning-ending double-play grounder at shortstop. The B-Mets blew the game open with another four-run inning in the sixth against Sea Dog relievers Rob Wort and Luis Ysla. Smith laced an RBI single, Matt Oberste produced a run-producing double and Colton Plaia had a two-run single. Barbosa (1-0) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits in five innings. Logan Taylor, Luis Mateo and David Roseboom combined for four scoreless relief innings. Box

BRADENTON 5, ST. LUCIE 1: Bradenton starter Alex McRae held the Mets to one run on seven hits over six innings. Junior Lopez tossed a scoreless seventh and Edgar Santana didn’t give up a hit in the final two innings to close it out. The Mets had taken a 1-0 lead in the fourth on Wuilmer Becerra’s two-out RBI single that plated Amed Rosario. However, the Marauders scored three runs in the bottom half against Chris Flexen. Elvis Escobar laced a two-run triple to make it 2-1. Escobar then scored on a sacrifice fly. Connor Joe homered on the first pitch of the home sixth to make it 4-1. The Marauders scratched their last run across against Kevin McGowan when Jerrick Suiter singled home Kevin Kramer in the seventh. Becerra finished 2-for-4 and raised his league-leading average to .400. Kevin Taylor reached base four times in the loss. He walked twice, doubled and singled. Box
