Buffalo Rebounds; Harvey Throws Bagels in St. Lucie Win

An article by Former Writers

Mets Minors 4.13.2011

BUFFALO 8, PAWTUCKET 1: The Buffalo Bisons (3-3) climbed back to .500 this season, defeating the Pawtucket PawSox, 8-1, Tuesday night. Dillon Gee (1-1) went seven innings, giving up three hits and one earned run to get the victory. Gee struck out four and walked two. Dale Thayer contributed two scoreless innings in relief. Offensively, Zach Lutz went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo homer with two RBIs. Nick Evans also hit a solo home run with two outs in the second inning. The Bisons did all the damage in the first three innings, scoring three in the first and four in the third. Lucas Duda went 1-for-4 in his second game back in Triple-A. BOX SCORE

ST. LUCIE 3, FORT MYERS 1: Mets first-round pick Matt Harvey had another quality start for Single-A St. Lucie Tuesday night. Harvey went six scoreless innings — increasing his scoreless innings streak to 11. The big right-hander issued two walks and struck out eight. Through two professional starts, Harvey has lasted 11 innings, given up eight hits, struck out 17 and walked four. In the top of the sixth inning, Jefry Marte reached base after being hit by a pitch and later scored on a Rafael Fernandez sac fly. In the top of the eight, Juan Lagares hit his first home run of the season with two outs. A few batters later, Fernandez scored on a Rylan Sandoval single. All the damage was done with two outs. St. Lucie is now 5-1. BOX SCORE

Thanks for the update. I didn’t see Fernando Martinez’z name in the box score? He is not injured again is he? Feliciano played LF. Feliciano gets playing time over Martinez?
A 30+ year old prospect plays while FMart sits?

FMart didn’t play Monday or Tuesday… Hmmmm…
Maybe the Mets called him up! Yeah I like that idea. I would much rather have FMart playing LF until Bay gets back instead of this Willie Davis/Harriston/Murphy mishmash.
I am one Met fan who never has or ever will get FMart confused w/ KMart!
I still have faith in the kid!

Glad to read good news about Harvey. Can it really be long before Met Fans are clamoring to bring him up. Seriously, he looks good in a league known for good pitching. Give him a full solid year there and start him in AA next year. No more rushing guys up here before they learn how to pitch like Pelfrey, Humber, Mejia, and Parnell

Good to see Francisco Pena off to a good start with the bat in A+ This is his 5th pro season and he’s yet to have a good season. He can’t even get any playing time in the DWL with his father managing the team and only played 20 games last year. This is really a make or break year for him at 21.

  There is a distinct difference between “rushing” a prospect, and “challenging” one.

Let’s see how Harvey adapts once scouting reports get out and he can’t throw his fastball by Single-A dudes anymore.

  Oh okay. Unless of course he’s pitching in AA in two weeks.
