Recap in gifs:
Verrett gave up some hard hits and some soft hits - he gave up a lot of hits - and had his shortest outing of the season. The Las Vegas 51s came all the way back to tie it, twice, but would lose the game in the bottom of the 10th. More details below.
M∂D
led of the game with a double that he lined off the glove of Daric Barton on a
1-1 count – seemed to take Barton by surprise.

| M∂D leads off the game with this double |
Muno
followed with a single to CF – M∂D got a late start from 2B as he had to hold
up on the fly ball.
 |
| Muno singles |
Flores
would follow to get the 51s on the board with this RBI single.

| Flores drives in the first run of the game |
The
51s would fail to score any more runs in the inning, and then the River Cats
tied it up in the bottom of the 1st. A leadoff single was erased by
a double play, but then Verrett gave up a double and an RBI single. He’d
recover to end the inning by striking out Jake Elmore.
 |
| Elmore strikes out swinging at 0-2 |
The
top of the order got things going for the 51s again in the 3rd, as
Muno hit this one-out single to RF.

Wilmer
Flores followed with an RBI double into the LF corner.

The
River Cats would bounce right back in the bottom of the 3rd, as they
batted around against Verrett – single, force out, RBI double, RBI single,
walk, groundout, 2 RBI single, double, strikeout. Everything the River Cats
made contact was falling in, regardless of whether it was hit hard or not. Here
is Jose Martinez looking to end the inning.

Verrett
would struggle again in the 4th and had to be removed after only 3.2
IP, trailing 5-2 – he followed up his longest start of the season (starting the
9th inning) with his shortest, which was a let down. He had one more
strikeout in him before leaving, impressively getting Andy Parrino to strikeout
on three straight swinging strikes.
 |
| Verrett starts him off with a slider |
 |
| Threw him the change on 0-1 |
 |
| And then got him to chase a slider in the dirt |
Muno
and Flores tried to get Vegas going again in the 5th, but they would
be stranded after back-to-back two-out hits. First, Muno picked up his third
single of the night.

Then
Flores picked up his second double of the night – Muno would’ve been out by “60
feet” if they had sent him.

RP
Ryan Reid is having a pretty good season for Vegas and will likely find himself
in the Mets bullpen at some point – here he gets Luis Exposito to strikeout
looking at the 3-2 pitch.

Andrew
Brown got the 51s 6th inning rally started with a leadoff double
into the LF corner.
 |
| Brown doubles |
Brandon
Allen followed with an RBI single that deflected off the 2B’s glove.
 |
| Allen with the unconventional RBI single to the 2B to drive in Brown from 2B |
After
Q reached on a fielding error, M∂D hit a triple into the RF corner to drive in
both Allen and Q with two outs, and tie the game up at 5.
 |
| M∂D with a two-run triple |
The
River Cats would get that run right back, scoring the half-inning after the 51s
did for the third time on the night. Things did not look good for the 51s going
into the 9th down a run, but Allan Dykstra hit his 11th
HR of the season off of the same pitcher Kevin Plawecki hit a game-tying HR off
of Thursday night.
 |
| Dykstra ties it up in the 9th |
 |
| It landed just out of the reach of the RF and bounced into view |
Zack
Thornton would allow the winning run to score with two outs in the bottom of
the 10th, but he did have three strikeouts during his 1.2 IP.

Pull that wrench out of the cosmic engine! Either #BICEP2 is wrong or we need some new physics. I blame the Higgs. http://t.co/5Ibgc1tPFy
