DSL Mets2 (40-23) trip DSL Phillies (34-29) 5-2.

Adrian Almeida started and went 4.0 innings: 1 R, 0 ER, 3 H, BB, 5 K. Nice outing. W’s and L’s apparently don’t matter much in the DSL (perhaps appropriately so) since they really don’t bear as much on the pitcher’s abilities as do WHIP, K/9, BB/9, ERA, and a host of other Sabremetric stats.

Merandy Gonzalez (W, 4-1) relieved Almeida and went 3.2 innings: R, 4 H, BB, K.  Gonzalez ERA is 2.32.

Nabil Crismat (S, 7) was perfect for 1.1 innings, earning his 7^th save. Crismat’s is a name that you may become familiar with. The 18 year old, in his 2^nd year of pro ball, has an ERA of 1.43, a WHIP of 0.88, and 10.75 K/9, 2.87 BB/9.

 

John Mora: 3-3, 3B, BB, 2 RBI, R. We see Mora’s name in the highlights often.
