Syracuse, NY – Fantastic pitching and timely hitting were the recipe for success in the Syracuse Mets’ third straight win, a 2-0 victory over the Buffalo Bisons, on a gorgeous Thursday night at NBT Bank Stadium. Syracuse's pitching staff shined with 14 strikeouts and only three hits allowed in the game.
Syracuse (7-9) jumped out to an early lead, tacking on its
only runs of the game in the bottom of the first inning. Buffalo (4-10) starter
Lazaro Estrada walked the leadoff hitter Niko Goodrum and gave up a single to
Drew Gilbert. Joey Meneses hit a single to score Goodrum on a play at the plate
and put the Mets ahead, 1-0. The next batter, Billy McKinney, also singled and
brought Gilbert in to score and give Syracuse a 2-0 lead it wouldn’t
relinquish.
The Mets threatened to add insurance runs in the eighth when
they loaded the bases. Goodrum led off with a double, Meneses was intentionally
walked, and McKinney drew a walk to put three men on base. With two outs,
Gilberto Celestino flied out to left field and ended the inning.
With a single in the fourth inning, Celestino extended his
hitting streak to an International League-leading 11 games. Over the 11-game
stretch, Celestino owns a .378 batting average.
In Gilbert’s first game back in triple-A since a hamstring
injury, he went 1-for-4 with a single and a run scored.
After getting a two-run lead in the first inning, the Mets
pitching staff dominated. Starter Dom Hamel returned from the injured list for
his second start of the season. The right-hander threw three scoreless innings,
allowed two hits, one walk, and struck out five. After Hamel's start, Grant
Hartwig, Chris Devenski, Dedniel Nuñez, Ty Adcock, and Rico Garcia cruised out
of the bullpen, combining to pitch six scoreless innings with just one hit allowed,
four walks, and nine strikeouts.
Syracuse and Buffalo continue their six-game series on
Friday afternoon with a double-header. Right-hander Brandon Sproat is set to
start game one for the Mets opposite left-hander Eric Lauer for the Bisons,with
first pitch expected at 4:05 p.m. Right-hander Jose Ureña goes for Syracuse in
game two against right-hander Bobby Milacki on the bump for Buffalo.
Joey Meneses singles on a ground ball to left fielder Joey Loperfido.
