Mets games have lead to an abundance of Unders

Orioles left fielder Travis Snider lays out to steal a hit from the Indians.

Votto finished 0-for-4 for the Reds (34-38) as his streak of reaching base safely ended at 32 games.

Cincinnati then brought in Schumaker to form a five-man infield. Matz wasn’t close on his first pitch which almost went to the backstop, and then Phillips would get the best of him to start of his debut with a lead-off homerun. Game 1 of this series went to the Mets, while game 2 was suspended yesterday in the 7th inning with the game tied at 1-1. Wheeler did not disappoint in his Major League Baseball debut throwing six shutout innings on route to a 6-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves, with Wheeler earning the win. 259 – but he insists his luck is the only thing that has changed since his poor start.

Overall it was a fantastic debut for the Mets’ young left-hander in a memorable debut at Citi Field.

Matz may have a chance to help New York to a fourth straight win after dropping a season-high seven games in a row.

The Mets debuts were finally capped off on Sunday when Steven Matz played a game after the Mets finished off a suspended game from the day before. The ceremonial first pitches were thrown out by the New York Knicks’ two first-round draft picks, Jerian Grant and Kris Porzingis.

What makes Matz different from the four pitchers who’ve come before him is that he’s a hometown kid who grew up rooting for the Mets. In the afternoon game, Ubaldo Jimenez tossed eight crisp innings and Baltimore got home runs from Jimmy Paredes and Manny Machado.

The 24-year-old had his first start at the mound on Sunday during New York’s 7-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

The Reds loaded the bases in the seventh, but Hansel Robles got Frazier to foul out.

“I barreled it up, and it felt good off the bat”, Matz said. The shot struck the railing above the left-field wall. He made a lunging, tumbling catch on Tejada’s drive into the corner for the first out. Matz originally was due to throw the first pitch at 1:10 p.m. ET Sunday. Matz’ unbelievable debut can’t hide the fact that the Mets are still in dire need of bats that can be in the lineup more than every five or six days.

With the rain getting heavier, umpires stopped play and signaled for the tarp. The game was called following a 53-minute delay.

If all of that weren’t enough, Matz made a perfectly executed takeout slide at second base, which prevented the Reds from turning a double play and allowed the Mets to score an additional run. After the game, lefty reliever Jack Leathersich was sent down to Class AAA Las Vegas to make room for Matz on the roster going forward. Suarez had two errors on Sunday, one in each game despite the fact he didn’t enter the 13-inning completion of Saturday’s game until the 13th inning. He could be back with the Mets on Tuesday. “To be a successful pitcher in the major leagues, you have to be able to get through that without letting it affect you”.

Cueto, who was starting for the first time in nine days, fell to 4-5 after allowing two runs and two hits while walking three and striking out six.
