Mets Send Tampa Home with 6-3 Loss
|
The Tampa Yankees got a sterling performance from pitcher Xavier García, but the St. Lucie Mets still prevailed, 6-3. García came in in relief and pitched to 17 batters. Doug Merrill went 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 4 hits. The right-hander, who is tied for 10th in the FSL with a 8.5 K/9 rate, struck out 7 and walked 4. With the win, he's now 5-4 this season. With the win, the Mets have a record of 33-25.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Shawn Simons? The St. Lucie second baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Mets on top, 2-0. For the game, Simons had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
Simons called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
