It was an eventful day for the New York Mets as they made
two transactions at the trading deadline.
They traded for outfielder Jay Bruce who will hopefully perk up the
offense as Yoenis Cespedes did last season.
In a surprise move they reacquired left hand pitcher Jon Niese in
exchange for Antonio Bastardo. Now Kelly
Johnson, Jose Reyes and Niese have rejoined the Mets after leaving the team.
Nearly every year we go to one of the Subway Series games at
Citifield. Last night’s matchup was Logan Verrett versus C.C. Sabathia. The Yankees took a 3-1 lead but the Mets came
back to lead 5-3 and the end of 7 innings.
Addison Reed, the usual reliable set-up man, allowed the Yankees to tie
the score in the eighth inning. Starlin
Castro drove in the lead run in the top of the tenth as Delin Betances got his
first save of the year.
The problem was that the Mets have trouble hitting with
runners in scoring position. In the 6th
inning after Matt Reynolds hit a three run homer, they loaded the bases, but
could not score. They had men on second
and third with two outs, but Curtis Granderson struck out to end the game.
