Nice to see Mercado breaking back out of that struggle.

3 hits and a walk for Salazar in those 2 innings. And not the electric stuff we're used to seeing. Take your time bringing him along...

Eli Morgan has 3 shutout innings in his AAA debut so far.

HB - the third was his best inning, and after 58 pitches (!) probably he is done.

I assume you were watching a bit....and I completely agree after watching the 3 innings this is early Danny Salazar - definitely not the Salazar we remember. At least yet. Going to take some time.

At least it seems he is still healthy.

I have been bouncing back & forth between Akron and Columbus. Been watching mostly Columbus though cause I’ve always been an Eli Morgan fan. He finally got touched up in 5th.

surprised they got in all 9 innings in the big league game. Tigers made it very easy, letting our 3 mid-quality relievers get through 6 1-hit 0-walk innings on 71 pitches. And nice of them to use a starter pitcher with a career ERA of 8.57. At least he looks like a pitcher: 6-5 230. Unlike fellow Gonzaga grad Morgan who's 5-10 190 but may be a much better pitcher

Mets up 5-3 over the Twins in the 7th.

now 11-3 Mets

Hmm, Twins bullpen a sieve. Maybe we do have a shot after all?

Pete Alonso hit a 447 foot homer for Mets today. I thought it was further. It was like half way up the 3rd deck!

Twins bullpen looked OK against us.

scoreless in the bottom of the 3rd but it shouldn't stay that way. 3 on, none out for Mercado. Freeman, hitting a shocking 293, and Naquin, now 289, singled and Lindor walked to fill the bases.

And Mercado keeps up his top notch week with a two run single. Ballgame.

Another hit for Naquin. 5 multi hit games in a row now.

What a heads up play by Freeman. Jose on 3rd, 2 out, and he drag bunts for an RBI single.

Earlier this year I wondered what he was doing on the team but after watching him a while I know what they saw in him.

Seems to me Wittgren may be turning back into a pumpkin.

I'm telling you, we should go get a good righty to compliment Hand.

Home run, Lindor!

Nice little insurance run for Hand. 4-2
