Recap
While
the Mets a level above them and the B-Mets a level below them both reached
double-digits in runs Monday night, the Las Vegas 51s were shutout in New
Orleans, which represents a role reversal in offensive output for those 3 Mets
affiliates. The 51s have been one of the best offenses in the PCL this year
(and last year…), and they’ve been especially hot with a host of recent major
league regulars filling their lineup, but they could manage only a pair of hits
from Matt Reynolds and Kirk Nieuwenhuis against the Zephyrs. Those two did
manage to both pick up a hit in the 4th, but then Kirk was doubled
off of 1B on a fly out to RF from Kevin Plawecki. 51s starter Matt Bowman
looked good working a 1-2-3 frame in the 1st, and took care of the
bottom of New Orleans order with no problems in the 4th, but the
Zephyrs would touch him up in the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th
innings. He should’ve been out of the 3rd inning when he picked up a
strikeout with two outs, but the wild pitch got away from Plawecki, which
allowed the inning to continue long enough for a second New Orleans run. Three
lefties would relieve Bowman out of the 51s pen, and all three struggled with
control, although only Chase Huchingson would allow any more runs to score.
This
series continues Tuesday night at 7:00 PM, with Dillon Gee (6-3, 5.53 ERA)
scheduled to pitch for Las Vegas.
The
first two Zephyrs batters would reach on a walk and single in the 2nd,
and then Isaac Galloway got them on the board with a sac fly to RF.
Reid
Brignac and Tomas Tellis connected for a pair of two out singles in the 3rd,
but then Matthew Bowman induced a swinging strike 3 from Vinny Rottino that
should have been out 3. Unfortunately, the wild pitch got far enough away from
Kevin Plawecki to allow Rottino to reach 1B, and then Bowman walked Juan Diaz
to force in a run.
Donovan
Solano led off the 5th with a single for New Orleans, and then
Brignac doubled him to 3B to give the Zephyrs a great scoring opportunity.
Bowman would retire the next two batters on groundouts, but Solano came home on
the first one. Wally then made a double-switch, bringing Chase Huchingson in to
pitch and Eric Young in for Brandon Nimmo (seriously?), but that back fired, as
Huchingson would allow an RBI single to Diaz, and EY was playing over Nimmo for
some reason.
Las
Vegas got a pair of hits from Matt Reynolds and Kirk Nieuwenhuis.
Defensive Highlights
Matt
Reynolds making a play during the 5th inning, and Kevin Plawecki
taking a foul ball to the cup region, so I hope he was wearing one.
