Recap
Assuming
the Binghamton Mets hold onto their playoff spot in the Eastern division of the
Eastern League, they got a preview of their first round matchup in Reading
Monday night against the Fight Phils. The B-Mets were fortunate to be getting a
start from rehabbing Steven Matz, who was on an 80-pitch limit, especially
since Reading was countering with Readings top-pitching prospect Jake Thompson.
The starting pitching matchup lived up to its billing, but Matz’s pitch limit
meant the Binghamton bullpen would have to step it up, and they couldn’t hold
onto the 2-0 lead, whilte Thompson pitched deep into the game, and then Ryan
O’Sullivan threw two perfect innings to hold on for Reading. With the win, the Fightins officially punched their ticket to the postseason.
Steven Matz was great for
Binghamton, allowing only one hit (to the first Reading batter of the game) and
2 walks over his 5.1 IP, and departing with a 2-0 lead. He hit 95-96 MPH on the
stadium scoreboard multiple times throughout the start, his curve looked as
sharp as it has on his rehab, and only two balls were hit beyond the infield on
the fly. Matz may not have been as efficient as in his first rehab start with Binghamton, but he looked ready to return. Unfortunately for Binghamton, Jake Thompson was nearly as good,
showing off just how tough of an opponent he’ll be in the first round next
week. Thompson allowed the 2 Binghamton runs on 3 singles and a sac fly in the
4th, but he was very much in control otherwise. I heard the Reading
announcers call his fastball in the 93-95 MPH range from the stadium
scoreboard, and while I didn’t hear velocity calls on his curveball, it was a
very effective pitch.
Erik
Goeddel was the first in to relieve Matz, brought in after Matz threw just 4
pitches in the 6th to inch ever so closer to his 80-pitch limit – I
guess Goeddel was intentionally brought into the middle of an inning as
preparation for his pending promotion, because he hadn’t done that yet on his
rehab, and his previous 3 outings were the back-to-back day test, and then
multiple inning test. Goeddel would allow a double to J.P. Crawford and issue a
walk in the 6th, but he kept the shutout intact. Adam Kolarek could
not keep the shutout intact during the 7th, and Jon Velasquez could
not strand any of the three base runners he inherited from Kolarek, which led
to a 4-2 Reading lead. The Fightin’ Phils would add a pair of runs on a blast
from Dylan Cozens in the 8th, while Binghamton had no fight left
over the final innings.
Check out scoring details and highlights below, as well as some nice defensive plays and highlights from Steven Matz and Jake Thompson. This
series continues Tuesday night at 6:35 PM, with Gabriel Ynoa (9-8, 3.83 ERA)
scheduled to pitch opposite Ben Lively (8-7, 4.22 ERA), and the Binghamton Mets
magic number at 4.
T.J.
Rivera sparked the only B-Mets rally with a leadoff single in the 4th.
Josh Rodriguez advanced him to 2B with a single to LF, and then Brock Peterson
brought Rivera home with the third single in a row. Joe Benson would add a sac
fly to put the B-Mets up 2-0.
Adam
Kolarek replaced Erik Goeddel in the 7th, and he failed to retire
any of the four Reading batters that he faced. Destin Hood led off with a walk,
and then Dylan Cozens, Angelo Mora, and Brodie Greene collected three straight
singles to cut the lead in half. Jon Velasquez would allow all three inherited
runners to score after taking over for Kolarek, with a two out, two run double
from J.P. Crawford the big blow in the frame . It was Crawford’ s second double
in as many innings, and his first double was the first Reading hit since Serna
led off the game with a single.
Dylan
Cozens added a two run blast to left center field in the 8th to give
Reading a pair of insurance runs.
Defensive Highlights
The
only hit Steven Matz allowed was to the first Reading batter of the game, and
K.C. Serna would be doubled off of 1B to end the frame.
Steven
Matz took charge on this pop out on the infield, but came awfully close to 1B
Vince Belnome to do so. He was also involved defensively on the first two plays
in the 5th inning.
Jonathan
Galvez made a great diving catch with runners on 2B and 3B in the 7th, but
it was only the second out, so a run came home on a sac fly.
Xorge
Carrillo hit into a pair of nice defensive plays: to Destin Hood in deep CF,
and to J.P. Crawford in the hole. Crawford would also take care of a pair of
grounders hit his way in the 9th.
