Wilmer Flores catches fire helps Mets finish surprising swee
Posted 3 лет назад in Автомобили и транспорт.
The New York Mets completed their sweep of the Chicago Cubs onSunday with a convincing 14-3 win at home.
Wilmer Flores led the way by tying a Mets record with six hits. The young third baseman finished6 for 6 with two home runs, four RBIs and three runs scored. The only other Met to record six hits in a Corey Dickerson Jersey game wasEdgardo Alfonzo in 1999 against the Astros.
The offensive outburst was startling, but some baseball fans might have felt a jolt of deja vu after Los Angeles Angels first baseman C.J. Cron collected six hits on Saturday. It is the first time two players have had six-hit games in a two-day span since Jimmie Foxx and Johnny Burnett did it on the same day onJuly 10, 1932.
While Flores' game was impre sive, the darker side of the afternoon was the Cubs' continued lack of form. Once on a record winning pace, Chicago has now lost four Nick Anderson Jersey straight and 10 of its last 13 games.

Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester was bounced in the second inning after allowing eight earned runs off of nine hits. It seems the virus spreading through the Cubs' once stingy rotation has finally reached Lester.
Meanwhile, New York ace Noah Syndergaard gave up just one earned run and struck out eight batters in seven innings to improve to 9-3 on the season.
Playersof the Day:
Two Washington Nationals stars turned in memorable performances Sunday in a 12- Avisail Garcia Jersey 1 win against the Cincinnati Reds. Starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg left the game with a no-hitter still intact after 6 2/3 innings. He had already thrown 109 pitches and manager Dusty Baker didn't want to push him in his first start back from the disabled list.
Shortstop Danny Espinosa was arguably even more impre sive than his teammate. The once soon-to-be-replaced infielder went 4 for 5 with two home runs with six RBIs, including a grand slam, his second of the series.
