Recapish


            The 51s couldn’t keep the good feels going Saturday night in Albuquerque, as they dropped Robert Gsellman’s PCL debut 10-4 to the Isotopes. Gsellman was hit around during his 3+ innings of work, and his teammates couldn’t make this into a PCL slugfest to pick him up.
            This was the most I’ve seen Gsellman get smacked around since he was pitching for Savannah in Greenville two years ago. Albuquerque is the highest scoring environment I have ever seen in the minors, so it was a tough first PCL assignment for the Mets best pitching prospect – Justin Dunn might take that title when he signs, but he’s still a Boston College Eagle at the moment. Still, there were very few positives in the outing for him, and the game was all but out of reach when he left in the 4th.
            One positive after Gsellman left was the scoreless outing for Jeff Walters. Walters went two innings and picked up a K on 3 straight swinging strikes along the way.
            I break down the scoring highlights below, so enjoy! This series wraps up Sunday night at 8:05 PM, with Duane Below (4-4, 3.86 ERA) scheduled to start for Las Vegas.


MiLB.tv Scoring Highlights


            Dilson Herrera led off the game with a single lined into LF and then came around to scored on T.J. Rivera’s 15th double of the season.



            Dilson picked up his second hit of the game in the 3rd inning.


            Nevin Ashley sparked the 6th inning rally with a leadoff single into RF. Ty Kelly advanced him to 2B with a single of his own, and both eventually came around to score. Ashley came home on an E8 (check out the LOLthrow) and Kelly scored on Roger Bernadina’s 13th double of the season.




            Travis Taijeron hit a pair of doubles in this game to raise his season total to 24. His first came with nobody on and one out in the 7th and his second one advanced T.J. Rivera (walk) to 3B in the 9th.

            With Brandon Nimmo off for two days as he attends a wedding, Ty Kelly had the chance in CF and got the job done in a huge outfield.
