The Royals and Mets battle for game
3 with the Royals are up 2-0 in the series. Syndergaard V Ventura, who will
walk out with a win? Will the Royals go into game three with a 3-0 lead? Or will
the Mets make it only 2-1? Only one way to find out, sit back and watch. Today
I am going to move away from my average Blog. I am going to give an inning by
inning report of the game.
In the first inning Zobrist hits a
double to center field, then Cain drives him to third base. Hosmer comes up to
bat and forces the Mets to do a fielder’s choice, therefore Zobrist scores, 1-0
Royals. In the latter half of the
inning, Granderson has an infield hit to deep shortstop. David Wright comes up
to bat and makes the big apple rise in Citi Field, two run homerun, now 2-1
Mets.
The second inning started off with
a leadoff single by Perez, then Gordon hits him over to second with another
hit. Rios hits a double into left field and scores Perez, and Gordon gets
thrown out trying to get to third. Ventura hits a sac bunt, Rios gets to third.
Wild Pitch by Syndergaard causes Rios scores. Escobar hits a single into center
field. Escobar steals second base. Royals are now up 3-2, this is already an
electric game. The bottom of the 2nd is here, and three quick outs
for Ventura.
Syndergaard gets a quick three out
for the Mets, are the pitchers finally getting their groove? Syndergaard gets a
single to start off the bottom of the 3rd. Granderson hits a two run
home run to right field, Mets are up 4-3.
In the fourth inning Syndergaard
makes it a quick inning and gets a 1,2,3 inning. With the Mets up to bat, Duda
starts off the inning with a single to left field. After, d’Arnaud hits a
double along the left field foul line and hits Duda to third. Conforto gets an
infield single and scores Duda and advances d’Arnaud to third. Royals switch
out pitchers from Ventura to Danny Duffy. Duffy gets them out of the inning,
Mets are winning 5-3.
Syndergaard makes yet another quick
inning of the Royals, 3 up 3 down, in the top of the 5th. Hochevar
comes in for Duffy for the Royals. Cespedes hits a single to center field with
two outs. Hochevar strikes out for the third out in the 5th.
The 6th inning is up and
the Royals get a hit by Moustakas to the second followed by a walk to Perez and
moves to second. Gordon gets a walk too, everyone advances. Syndergaard prevails
and gets Rios to ground out to shortstop. Morales replaces Hochevar for pitching
for the royals. Lagares hits a single to left field. Flores gets hit by pitch,
Lagares advances to second. Uribe hits a single to right field and Lagares
scores, Flores gets to third. Granderson hits to Morales, has a throwing error
to second, bases loaded. Herrera comes in to pitch for the Royals, immediately gives
up a hit to center field to Wright. Uribe and Granderson score, it is now 8-3
with the Mets still at bat. Herrera gives up a walk to Murphy, bases are
re-loaded with only one out. Cespedes hits a sac fly to right field and
Granderson scores. Herrera Strikes out Duda for out number 3, Mets are up 9-3
at the end of 6.
For the 7th inning, Reed
comes in for Syndergaard to pitch for the Mets. Starts off great by having
Orlando pop-out to center field. Then having Escobar pop out to first base in
foul territory, and after that having Zobrist ground out to first base, 3 up
and 3 down, again. Madson comes in to pitch for the Royals, d’Arnaud singles to
right field for the Mets to start off the inning. Lagares flies out to right
field for the first out. Flores grounds to third and gets d’Arnaud out at
second. Madson ends the inning with a strike out.
In the 8th inning, Clippard
comes in to pitch for the Mets, Cain flies out to left field. Then right after,
Hosmer flies out to center field. Then Moustakas flies out to Clippard for the
third out. Medlen comes in to pitch for the Royals, and gets Granderson out for
the first out. And then struck out the final two at bats for the inning.
The 9th inning comes
around and the Royals need to score quite a few runs. Familia is pitching in
the final inning for the Mets. Perez grounded out to shortstop for the first
out. Familia strikes out Gordon for the second out. Morales ground out to third
base for the final out.
The Mets win game 3, they dominated
in hitting and in pitching. They deserve this win. Props to the Mets they win
9-3 and the series is 2-1.
