The Rochester Red Wings handled the Syracuse Mets 5-3 on Saturday, a satisfying result for the closer of the two Triple-A squads to Geneva. Details on individual performances weren’t available, but Rochester came away with the win in what shapes up as a meaningful divisional matchup this late in May.
In the majors, the Oakland Athletics beat the New York Yankees 6-4, snapping a four-game losing streak in the process. Three home runs powered Oakland’s offense, enough to hand New York a loss despite the Yankees holding a solid 35-23 record. The Athletics moved to 28-30 with the win — not a playoff pace, but a needed bounce-back after a rough stretch.
The rest of the region’s tracked teams were off Saturday. The Bills, Sabres, Giants, Rangers, Knicks, Knighthawks, Cornell, and Hobart all had no games scheduled, leaving a fairly quiet day across the board outside of the two results above.
