LAST TIME OUT: Brooklyn snatched its 14th-straight home victory on Tuesday night in an 8-2 win over Asheville...LHP Sean Manaea made his 2nd big-league rehab outing with the Cyclones, and twirled 2.2 scoreless innings...LHP Jonathan Santucci excelled in relief, tossing 4.1 innings of work while surrendering just 1 earned run...RF Carson Benge and 2B Boston Baro each logged 3 hit days...Brooklyn took the lead right from the jump with a pair in the first, and put the game out of reach with a 4 spot in the 6th.
THE NUMBER ONE SPOT: The Cyclones are mired in a 3-team race for the South Atlantic League First Half North Division crown...Entering play on Tuesday, Brooklyn holds a 1.5-game lead on Greensboro for 1st place in the division...The Cyclones are 4.5 games up on 3rd-place Hudson Valley with 8 games remaining in the first half...Brooklyn's magic number to clinch the first half division crown is 7...Any Cyclones wins or Grasshoppers losses will decrease the number...Brooklyn does not play Hudson Valley or Greensboro for the remainder of the half...Greensboro has played one series (April 15-20 vs. Jersey Shore) against a North Division foe and will not play another until the second half (July 1-6 vs./at Aberdeen).
CAN'T TUCC THIS: LHP Jonathan Santucci has found his form in 2025...The 2024 Mets' 2nd-round selection is a perfect 4-0 over his last 5 outings (3 starts), including a career-high-tying 5.1 scoreless inning performance in a no-decision last Wednesday at Wilmington...Since May 16 vs. Winston-Salem, the 22-year-old has an 0.72 ERA (2 ER in 25.0 IP) with 13 hits allowed, 9 walks, and 26 strikeouts...Santucci saw his scoreless inning streak come to an end at 18.0 frames in Tuesday's win over Asheville...The southpaw's streak spanned from the 2nd inning in game one of a doubleheader on May 23 at Jersey Shore until the top of the 7th with two outs on Tuesday...Since May 16, Santucci leads the South Atlantic League in ERA (0.72), is tied for 1st in wins (4), 3rd in batting average against (.149), 4th in WHIP (0.88), and 3rd in innings pitched (25.0).
NOAH'S ARC: After being limited to just 13.0 innings in his first professional season in 2024, RHP Noah Hall has found a new gear in 2025...The 24-year-old registered his 1st pro save on Thursday night at Wilmington, tossing 4.0 innings of 1-hit shutout ball...The save was Hall's first since April 30, 2021, vs. the University of Louisiana at Monroe, while pitching for Appalachian State University...Entering play on Wednesday, the Charlotte, N.C. native is 4th in the South Atlantic League in ERA (2.42), tied for 4th in batting average against (.194), and tied for 10th in innings pitched (52.0).
HOME COOKING: Brooklyn continued their dominance at Maimonides Park in last night's series opener against Asheville...Tuesday's triumph was the Cyclones' 14th-consecutive home win...Brooklyn's franchise record for consecutive home wins is 19, set in the inaugural 2001 campaign...Entering play on Wednesday, Brooklyn holds the best home record in the South Atlantic League at 23-5 (.821)...Greenville is second best (21-13)...The 23 home wins are the most at the High-A level and tied for the 2nd most in Minor League Baseball...Miami's Triple-A Jacksonville is 1st (24)...Brooklyn's .821 home winning percentage is the best in MiLB...San Francisco's Single-A San José (.720) is 2nd.
GARCÍA LATER: RHP Saúl García has been exquisite in relief for the Cyclones in 2025...Entering Wednesday, the 21-year-old is tied with Bowling Green's RHP Jack Snyder for the South Atlantic League lead in saves (6)...Among SAL relievers with 15.0 or more innings of work, García paces the circuit in strikeouts-per-9-innings (16.80)...That total is 2nd-best at High-A (Toronto's High-A Vancouver RHP Nate Garkow, 17.28)...It is also the 5th-best in Minor League Baseball...Los Angeles-NL's High-A Great Lakes RHP Alex Makarewich (18.32) is 1st...Garcia also leads the SAL in batting average against (.085) and hits-per-9-innings (2.40), and is 10th in ERA (1.20).
