Thursday night outfielder RYAN CHURCH made his first rehab start since landing on the Disabled List June 6th and showed why he long ago left A-ball in his rear view mirror.
Church played right field for the Brooklyn Cyclones of the A-ball New York-Pennsylvania League on Thursday, turning, as a Cyclone writer termed it, the "Borough of Churches" into the "Borough of Church's."
Church was perfect at the plate, going 3-for-3 with two singles, a double, a run scored, and an RBI in the Cyclones' 4-2 win over Aberdeen. He is scheduled to play for the Cyclones again on Friday, and to rejoin the Mets on Saturday or Sunday.
