Jefry Marte got the Mets on the board early driving in Juan Lagares on an RBI single in the first inning. The Marauders evened the score in the top of the second inning, but Francisco Pena made it a 2-1 game after two innings by plating Cesar Puello on a sacrifice ground out in the bottom of the frame. An RBI single off the bat of Robbie Shields in the fifth inning gave the Mets all the run support they would need and a 3-1 lead. Mets starter Darin Gorski scattered six hits over seven innings allowing one run while striking out five en route to his sixth win of the season. Cory Vaughn homered in the sixth and Marte drove in another run in the seventh inning to cap off the Mets scoring with a 5-1 lead. Things got interesting in the ninth inning. Nick Carr allowed the first four batters to reach base loading the bases with no outs and a three run lead but Carr would sit the next three Bradenton batters down 1-2-3 to secure the 5-2 win.
Gorski improves to 6-0 on the season with his seven innings of work. Shields and Lagares both had two hits and a run scored on the night, Marte drove in a pair and Vaughn homered for the second time since being called up from Savannah. Josh Edgin pitched a scoreless eighth for St. Lucie.
I'm sure you've written about him, but I haven't finished my "catching up." What about this Gorski fellow?
ReplyDeleteGorski is an enigma wrapped in a riddle...
ReplyDeleteHe basically is throwing the same kind of unexciting stuff that got him a 4.91 ERA in 2010 with Brooklyn and a 4.58 ERA in 2011 with the Sand Gnats.
I've seen him pitch a couple of times and nothing stood out to me.
Some have reported from Lucy that his velo is up a little, but I think he's just pitching more fastball strikes mixed with his secondary pitches.
This reminds me of Josh Stinson last year. Sometimes it just happens at a higher level, but it just doesn't last.
We'll see.
