LAST TIME OUT: Brooklyn had its way with Aberdeen, yet again, on Wednesday, securing their largest comeback victory of the season in a 6-4 win...Through 3 innings, Aberdeen led 4-0, before the Cyclones went on to rattle off 6 unanswered runs, thanks to 4 runs in the 4th and 2 more in the 7th...The win marks Brooklyn's 9th straight home victory... Brooklyn relievers combined for six innings of one-hit ball. RHP Cristofer Gómez dazzled in his High-A debut, while also giving Brooklyn great length...Gomez struck out six and allowed just 1 hit over 3.0-plus scoreless frames. RHPs Saúl GarcÃa and Raimon Gómez took it the rest of the way, earning the win and save, respectively...All told, Brooklyn arms struck out a combined 16 IronBird batters.
REHAB REPORT: The Cyclones have a pair of rehabbers on their current roster...RHP Frankie Montas is scheduled to make his 2nd Major League rehab start on Thursday night vs. Aberdeen on SNY...The 32-year-old is currently on New York's 60-day injured list with a right lat strain...Montas made his 1st start on Saturday at Jersey Shore, allowing 2 runs on 2 hits, walking 2 and striking out 1, over 1.1 innings and 37 pitches...The Dominican native signed a 2-year, $34 million deal with the Mets in December.
