The picture that leads this blog post is of Robinson Cano, and richly deserved. His two home runs (including a massive shot in the 6th to put it away), along with Pete Alonso’s two home runs were the big shots in the Mets’ 11-4 victory over the Marlins in Miami.
Not pictured from tonight’s game, however, is Chasen Shreve, who was the winning pitcher who was dominant in his 2 and 1/3 innings of work. You see, Robert Gsellman is being stretched out as a starter. But stretched is a relative term. Yes, he went from 33 pitches against the Nationals to 47 tonight against the Marlins. But the problem is that he went from two innings to an inning and 2/3’s which, if that qualifies as stretched, then Gsellman must be a Charleston Chew bar after being put in the freezer for a day.
Shreve, however, was dominant in his 2 and 1/3’s innings, striking out five batters without giving up a hit.
