The Colorado Rockies’ prized power pitcher, the third overall pick in the 2013 draft, gave up a career-high seven runs in 1 2-3 innings in a 14-9 loss to the New York Mets on Friday night.
Cespedes smashed a cool three home runs and seven runs batted in.
These developments were not well-received by all, though. Kyle Parker unloaded them with a three run triple that bounced off Juan Lagares’ glove to tie the game.
We can only assume this will begin the next great global arms race, as Cespedes and Taijeron just keep one-upping each other until one of them has managed to make it to the moon, where they will establish the first lunar baseball colony and claim ultimate victory.
“Good hitters find a night where they can lock themselves in and they won’t miss a ball”, Cespedes said through an interpreter. Hale (3-5) hit shortstop Wilmer Flores, the leadoff batter in the second, and gave up a single to left fielder Michael Conforto. The Rockies selected the contract of RHP Simon Castro, 27, from Triple-A Albuquerque where he was 5-5 with a 3.79 ERA in 36 games…. “There’s not as much pressure on the young guys to have to produce because you’ve got guys in the lineup who have done it for their careers”. His delivery is still a work in progress, judging by a shaky outing Sunday for the Colorado Rockies. He gave up 5 runs (4 earned) on six hits.
Cespedes looks to build on the best performance of his career as the NL East-leading Mets try to continue their dominance of the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.
“I wasn’t too precise with the pitch and he took advantage of it”, Gray said.
“Yeah, we were playing with fire”, Pirates starting pitcher Gerrit Cole said via MLB.com. Every Mets’ starter had at least one hit while all of the regular position players recorded multi hit games.
As such the Mets headed for Philadelphia Sunday night feeling very good about the state of their ballclub. “You don’t ever wish it upon anybody”. Charlie Blackmon and Jose Reyes hit back-to-back home runs in the sixth.
Mets: 1B Lucas Duda has gone on the 15-day disabled list with a back injury. He’s batting. 414 with nine RBIs in his last seven games. He’s expected to reinstated from the DL on Monday.
“We scored nine runs”, Arenado said.
