Recap with gifs:

            Hansel Robles continued his relative control of the Erie lineup Sunday afternoon (5 ER allowed in 16 IP against Erie this season) and the B-Mets offense had just enough punch to overcome sloppy play in the field (mostly by Dustin Lawley) and give the team their sixth win in seven games. The big hero of the night was Dilson Herrera, who hit this 2R-HR in the 7th to put the Mets ahead 5-4.

Dilson just pops this one over the wall (so excited...)

            The blast came after Brandon Nimmo’s third single of the night, though as you’ll see, none of his hits left the infield.

            I’ve seen Hansel Robles have both effective and ineffective starts this season (thanks to MiLB.tv), and this was one of the better ones. That speaks more to the fact that he’s had a pretty lackluster season, but he really wasn’t hit hard often Sunday – aside from Marcus Lemon. I’ve seen his breaking stuff look better in the past, but he wasn’t looking to throw it as often Sunday anyway. He seemed to rely on his fastball/change-up more instead, looking to keep hitters off balance with a variety of speeds and mixing locations – the Cory Mazzoni approach. He managed four strikeouts in the game:
He got the first batter he faced, Jamie Johnson, to strikeout swinging in the 1st.

Johnson swinging with a 2-2 count

He’d get Johnson swinging again to lead off the 3rd.

He got Ramon Cabrera swinging to lead off the 4th.

He got Daniel Fields looking for the second out in the 5th.

            Robles allowed a homerun to Marcus Lemon on a 2-2 count with one out in the 1st, but I felt he was squeezed on the pitch before the homerun (the pitch that made it 2-2). The freeze frame doesn’t exactly show overwhelming evidence to support my feelings, but it seems close enough that it could’ve gone either way – what do you think?

This call was huge, as Lemon took the next pitch out to RF
The ball appears to cross over the plate (left), but Carrillo's framing looks off the plate (right)

            Darrell Ceciliani hit this double a long way to CF with two outs in the 2nd – he’d be stranded there. Ceciliani goes into the All-Star break on a high note, as he’s hit for an .800+ OPS since June 10.

Ceciliani hit this double off the wall beneath that big scoreboard

            Kyle Johnson hit this ground-rule double off the warning track in CF leading off the 3rd – he’d come around to score on a Herrera fielder’s choice.

Johnson hit this to the warning track, where it bounced over the fence

            Dustin Lawley would come through with a two-out RBI single later in the 3rd, temporarily giving the Mets a 2-1 lead.
