National
Pastime.com: With two outs in the bottom of the
eighth inning at Wrigley Field, Gary Gentry gives up his only hit, a short fly
hit by Ernie Banks that outfielder Dave
Marshall
gets a glove on, but he cannot hold on to the ball. The 23 year-old Mets
right-hander settles for a one-hit complete game 4-0 victory over Chicago but
could have been the first hurler in franchise history to throw a no-hit game if
official scorer Jim Enright had ruled differently on the blooper to left field.
Art Shamsky
hit a HR and Wayne
Garrett went 2 for 3 (double and a triple) with an RBI and 2 runs scored
for the Mets offense.

Davenport homers off Mets losing pitcher Dave Eilers to give the Giants the

Matt is still Matt.
The Dark Knight guy. (Oh boy)
On the Mets side. Pitching, Pitching, Pitching.
Taijuan Walker is incredible.
His 3-1 record, 2.20 ERA and in 41 innings. He has only surrendered just 1 HR and 18 walks in this time. This young pitcher may be a one starter one day, it's within his reach. It's very possible and up to him now.
But there is more good news from the Mets starters.
Franklyn Kilome and Thomas Szapucki are getting game time work in now. Szapucki starts today against Worcester. This team could use all the good lefty pitchers they can get. I think Thomas will definitely be one. To me, having at least two of Syracuse's best pitchers ready to go for the Mets second half could prove itself vitally important just in case there could be more arm injuries or setbacks incurred. It would help to sustain a run in other words.
I like this 2021 NY Mets team. A lot. Each and every guy on it. I see the talent, team chemistry, effort, drive, determination, and the hunger that championship teams are always made of.
Kilome looked good last night in 4 innings. He needs to build up innings after 2 years of light work after Tommy John. I think it took Wheeler 3 years to come back.
John:
Wheels to me is the one pitcher lost from the Mets that I wish was not. He just had that totally flawless pitching mechanics that tells me he'll be around for a longtime still in MLB. And winning.
On my radar screen for pitching here and hopefully this season are: Szapucki, Kilome, Drew Smith, and Gonzales.
Thanks Amon...FYI, Gonzales on the Syracuse IL
In fact, I was just told by the Syracuse Manager Chad Kreuter...Harol Gonzales had Tommy John surgery last week...out for year.
