It was his 250th career home run and team-high 13th of the season. Matz’s two-run single – followed by a big fist pump – in the sixth gave New York its most runs since June 14, when it scored 10.
Suarez has now committed six errors on the season – double the number Zack Cozart had in 53 games this season. They got to their New York hotel at 4:17 a.m. after a rain-delayed, 13-inning win at Pittsburgh. Jason Grilli gave up a run in the ninth but earned his 21st save. In fact, they had been held to two or fewer runs in each of their last seven games coming into play Sunday (including the conclusion of Saturday’s game which was postponed and resumed prior to Matz’s debut). Still, the ball still found him and he booted it.
Talk about making your presence felt all over the field. “I think he has great confidence right now, and he should.”WALK-OFFS1″”.

Reds left-fielder Skip Schumaker then ensured the score remained the same, first robbing Tejada of an extra-base hit on a spectacular running catch to lead off the bottom of the seventh, following it by throwing out Duda, who tried to stretch a shot off the wall into a double. Smith then struck out Ceciliani looking to finish his night. The real story, though, was his day at the plate, where he went 3-3 with two singles, a double and four runs batted in.
“It was just hit and miss with the command”. “I love hitting, so it’s pretty cool to have that record”, Matz said. “His ball-strike ratios need to come up and he needs to be in more advantageous counts”.
HOUSTON – Rookie Carlos Correa doubled twice and scored the tiebreaking run on a triple by Evan Gattis in the seventh inning to help the Houston Astros to a 3-1 win over the New York Yankees on Sunday. Severino Gonzalez (3-2) allowed four runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Brandon Phillips singled in the third, and has hit safely in all 30 games he’s played on the road against the Mets. Matz was even hitting over. Mets general manager Sandy Alderson confirmed that LHP Steven Matz will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Sunday’s series finale and the Mets will go with a six-man rotation after his promotion…. The Rangers’ Joey Gallo did it earlier this year.
