Recap
Michael
Fulmer gave the B-Mets a great start over 6.1 IP, and top prospects Michael
Conforto and Brandon Nimmo drove the offense with big nights at the plate,
helping the B-Mets finish a sweep of Portland for their 7th straight
win. It was the first game with 3 Mets first-round picks (Cecchini, Conforto,
Nimmo) in the same lineup, which is pretty awesome, especially since all 3 have
had great years at the plate. After cruising through the first 6 innings,
Fulmer ran into a little trouble as he reached his pitch limit during the 7th,
but would be bailed out by Matt Koch. The B-Mets lineup was quiet the first
time through, but then exploded for all 7 runs over their next two trips
through the order (see below for details), providing more than enough punch
behind Fulmer & co.
Fulmer
was coming off of his best start with Binghamton in his last outing, as he had
induced 10 swinging strikes on 46 pitches over 4 scoreless innings before rain
cut things short. He looked dominant working a 1-2-3 1st inning, but
ran into a little trouble in the 2nd. The leadoff batter flared a
single into LF that Conforto probably should’ve caught, but he got a bad read
off the bat and broke the wrong direction. The next single was flied into right
center and stayed up long enough that I was surprised when Nimmo didn’t make
the catch – the announcers noted that Nimmo didn’t show much hustle going after
the ball, so I think he’s probably still holding back a little. Fulmer would
also allow two straight hits leading off the 4th, but he struck out
the final two batters of the frame to put an end to any threat. He’d allow a
leadoff homerun in the 7th, and then a double two batters later as
he crossed 100 pitches, so manager Pedro Lopez appropriately removed him at
that point.
The
B-Mets travel to New Hampshire for a 4-game weekend wraparound set, with Robert
Gsellman scheduled to start Friday night at 7:05 PM.
Scoring Highlights
Brandon
Nimmo got the B-Mets first rally started with a double leading off the 4th.
Josh Rodriguez followed with his league leading 12th homerun of the
season to make it a 2-0 game. After Dustin Lawley reached on an error, he stole
2B and scored on a single from Albert Cordero.
In
the 5th, it was a Michael Conforto double that sparked the rally.
He’d score two batters later on a ground-rule double from Nimmo, and then J Rod
doubled Nimmo home. With two outs, Lawley singled J Rod home, went to 3B on a
single from Cordero, and then scored on an E6.
Conforto
would add a pair of singles in the game, leading off the 6th with
one grounded into LF, and the 9th with one grounded into CF.
