Drew Gilbert had his first four-hit game as a professional in the Syracuse win, Ryan Clifford smacked two homers for the Rumble Ponies, Brooklyn lost despite a strong outing from Brendan Girton, and St. Lucie put up two touchdowns in their victory, fueled by Simon Juan and Jeremy Rodriguez

C Chris Suero – 0-for-3, 1 BB (.243 OPS)

Chris Suero has had a rough introduction to Double-A, but did manage to walk on Wednesday. Ryan Clifford keeps showing his power is real, and despite the low batting average, has had a pretty solid month, slashing .210/.329/.548.

Brian Metoyer had a great bounce-back outing after struggling on July 13. Since his promotion, he has only been scored upon in one of his six appearances. Luis Moreno has been hit hard in July, allowing a .306 batting average in 12 1/3 innings.

High-A
Brooklyn Cyclones (58-34) 1, Greensboro Grasshoppers (64-27) 3
Box Score

Brooklyn only managed four hits and a walk, with an A.J. Ewing RBI double being the only run driven in and extra-base hit. Colin Houck can’t wait for July to end, as he’s slashing .137/.220/.216 with 20 strikeouts in 51 at-bats.

RHP Brendan Girton (2.47 ERA) 4 1/3 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 HR allowed (39 of 64 pitches for strikes)
RHP Raimon Gomez (5.14 ERA) 1 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HR allowed

In a pitching duel, the Cyclones’ bullpen just couldn’t keep it scoreless. Brett Banks allowed his first run since June 28, and hitters have hit .240 against him this month compared to .185 in June.

Box Score

RF Simon Juan – 3-for-3, 3B, 1 R, 3 RBI (37), 2 BB (.626 OPS)

Nick Roselli has been a man on fire in July, slashing .308/.438/.385 with eight runs scored and an 8/8 BB/K ratio. Daiverson Gutierrez had his 21st error of the season, showing that while his offensive game is coming around, he is still rough behind the plate, which is easy to explain for a player who will play the entire 2025 season at 19 years old.
