END of AFL

Michel Abreu probably doesn't want his Arizona Fall League season to end.
The 27-year-old first baseman put together an eight-game hitting streak and drove in at least one run in each of his last seven contests to finish with six homers and 25 RBIs. He went 15-for-36 with 11 RBIs and eight runs scored during his hot finish, boosting his average 69 points to .280.

Here's a look at how the other Mets prospects fared this week:
