The New York Mets beat the New York Yankees by a score of 7-2 on Wednesday at Gearge M. Steinbrenner Field.
Offense:
What can I say about future All Star Juan Lagares that I haven’t said already? Wow, another great game from Lagares who went 2-for-3 with a double, home run, two runs scored, two RBI, and a stolen base. he’s batting .395 with a 1.102 OPS. Some kind of Juan-derful!
John Mayberry smashed another homer, his third, he had two hits and is only batting a mere .457 this spring. Travis d’Arnaud finally put on his hitting shoes today, going 2-for-3 with an RBI.
Matt Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base. Matt den Dekker drove a ground rule double to center to score Dustin Lawley with the seventh run of the game for the Amazins.
Pitching:
Rafael Montero started and not only did he have his changeup working but he was packing some heat with his fastball coming in at -94-95 and hitting 96-97. I’ll but that for a dollar. It was vintage Montero who struck out four and walked none in 4.0 innings of work. He allowed one run on three hits.
How about Sean Gilmartin… The left pitched 1.1 innings of perfect relief and retired all three lefthanded batters he faced, striking out two of them.
Chasen not Chase Bradford tossed 1.2 scoreless innings. Then in the ninth, Chase Huchingson got into some trouble and allowed a run, but no harm done, put it in the books.
On Deck:
The Mets travel to Space Coast Stadium to take on the Washington Nationals at 5:05 PM. Jon Niese will get the start and be opposed by Gio Gonzalez.
