Recap:
Looking
to bounce back from a loss in the opener, the Las Vegas 51s sent Rafael Montero
(L, 3-1) to hill opposite Randy Wolf (W, 3-1) for the Reno Aces Tuesday night
at Cashman Field. Montero would start out strong, but got a little wild
starting in the 3rd, got no defensive help in the 4th,
and was at too high of a pitch count to start the 5th. So it was a
short outing for Montero, on what became an unusually wild night for the New
York Mets top prospect best known for his control, as he only threw 58%
strikes. Wilmer Flores returned to the lineup, likely limited to 1B duty
considering his hand injury – Las Vegas has Dykstra and Allen as 1B-only guys
already, so they’re not going to be using Wilmer at 1B unless it’s the only place
he can play. Cesar Puello returned to the lineup and led off – he hadn’t
started in 3 of 4 games and that was starting to concern me. Also, rehabbing Juan
Lagares made a pinch hitting appearance and is schedule to play all 9 innings
Wednesday before rejoining the Mets in Colorado Thursday.
The
51s got the scoring started in the second, as the first three batters would
reach, including an RBI single for SS Danny Muno. They wouldn’t score again
until Randy Wolf tired in the 5th as Juan Lagares got a rally started
with a double and Wilmer Flores ended the rally with a double of his own for 2
RBI’s. In between, here is what Rafael Montero had done:
1st inning
– Worked around a Muno error for a scoreless inning, getting weak contact from
all four hitters.
2nd inning
– Had a nice sequence to the leadoff hitter that ended with a called strike on
a slider then a fastball. Followed that by getting a weak groundout to Lutz and
a liner to Campbell.
3rd inning
– This is when his control issues started on the night, as he walked the
leadoff hitter on four straight pitches out of the zone. After fielding his
position on a decent bunt from Wolf, Montero got Ender Inciarte swinging. He
then walked Gregorius on 5 pitches before getting a line out to 1B.
4th inning
– Was his biggest enemy in this inning, as he walked two of the first three
batters, with the other hitter reaching on a flare to the outfield. After a
visit from the pitching coach, Montero would induce another groundball that
found its way into RF. The next batter chopped it weakly passed the mound, just
out of the reach of Rafael Montero, and then off the glove of 2B Eric Campbell
for an error. The next batter would hit a sac fly on a high fly ball to CF. The
8th batter of the inning hit another groundball that got through,
this time up the middle into CF – this was bobbled by M∂D, which allowed a
second run to score on the play.
The Aces tacked on two key runs off
Buddy Carlyle in the top of the 5th, which proved important as Las
Vegas would get those 2 runs back in the bottom of the 8th. The Aces
rally in the 8th was aided by another 51s error, this time by Zach
Lutz on his throw. Still, Buddy Carlyle wasn’t at his best in the inning,
giving up some hard contact. The 51s 8th inning rally involved a
Matt ∂en Dekker walk, followed by an RBI double for Anthony Seratelli, who was
driven in by an Eric Campbell RBI single two batters later.
The
last 4 innings of the game were handled nicely by the 51s pen, highlighted by Joel
Carreno’s three strikeouts over two innings pitched, facing one over the
minimum. Erik Goeddel and Jeff Walters each threw a scoreless inning with one
base runner allowed.
Looking
ahead, the 51s send top Mets prospect Noah Syndergaard to the mound opposite a
Reno starter not yet announced online. Thor is coming off a solid start in a win against the PCL’s top offense last time out and will be making his last
start in April. Game time is at 10:05 PM ET, hopefully there won’t be any rain
delays in Philadelphia to cause any timing conflicts again.
