NEW YORK (AP) — for the New York Mets.The 23-year-old first base prospect launched the first pitch he saw into the upper deck in right field for his second homer of the season Wednesday night Darryl Strawberry Jersey , and the Mets went on to a 5-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants.Smith’s drive came two nights after his overaggressive mistake in left field cost New York the series opener.“You kind of want to have a short memory, obviously, because we have games every day,” Smith said. “But we’re still human.”Todd Frazier homered and hit an RBI double, and Noah Syndergaard pitched six effective innings as the Mets (56-70) improved to 12-7 in their last 19 games.Jose Bautista also went deep for New York. Jeff McNeil tripled and singled his first two times up to set a Mets rookie record with a hit in eight consecutive at-bats. The 26-year-old second baseman grounded out in his next chance at the plate.Smith charged in hard from left field and barreled into shortstop Amed Rosario on what should have been a routine popup Monday night, knocking the ball loose and allowing San Francisco to score the decisive run in the 13th inning.“I care about the team, I care about the fans and I don’t want to let anybody down,” Smith said. “You do think about that stuff and you do feel bad, but you’ve kind of just got to forget about those things and rebound from it and play hard.”Smith’s leadoff homer in the second off Giants starter Casey Kelly (0-2) gave New York a 1-0 lead.McNeil then surprisingly swung away at a 90 mph fastball on a 3-0 count for a single to right that produced the second run of the game.“I thought that was a good time to do it,” McNeil said. “Runner on third base, two outs, I know he was trying to throw one in there.”Frazier made it 3-0 with a ground-rule double that bounced over the left-center wall, sending McNeil back to third base after a replay review.Syndergaard (9-3) started out on a roll, retiring his first six batters before permitting consecutive singles to begin the third. Steven Duggar had an RBI groundout and Joe Panik added a run-scoring single to cut it to 3-2.Syndergaard allowed two runs and five hits while walking one and striking out six. Paul Sewald got two outs for his first major league save.New York got to Kelly again in the fourth on Bautista’s 11th homer http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-jacob-degrom-jersey , a two-out drive to center that made it 4-2.Kelly gave up seven hits and four runs — two earned — over six innings in his second start for San Francisco this season. He struck out four and did not issue a walk.“He got us somewhat deep in the game, six innings there,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “Could have come out a little better — we didn’t play great behind him — but he battled and kept us in the ballgame.”Austin Slater greeted Mets reliever Drew Smith with a home run to start the seventh, pulling the Giants within one.Frazier answered in the bottom half with a solo shot to left, his 13th homer of the year.The Giants have dropped six of seven.SCHOOL’S IN SESSIONSan Francisco outfielder Andrew McCutchen had a scheduled night off amid speculation he was held out of the lineup due to an imminent trade. “Waivers, clears or revocables — I don’t know what that stuff means,” McCutchen said. “I don’t get it. I’ve got a better chance understanding trigonometry. … Until somebody calls or whatever happens, then cool. But I have to try and just keep it simple and don’t even focus on what that stuff means and just play baseball.”TRAINER’S ROOMGiants: RHP Jeff Samardzija (right shoulder inflammation) made a rehab start with Double-A Richmond. He pitched four scoreless innings, allowing one hit. He walked one and struck out one.Mets: OF Jay Bruce, on the disabled list since June 19 with a sore right hip, homered and had an RBI single in his latest rehab game with Class A St. Lucie. He started at first base. Bruce is expected to return to the club Thursday and be activated for Friday’s series opener against Washington. … David Wright played third base for seven innings with St. Lucie and went 0 for 3 at the plate.UP NEXTGiants: LHP Madison Bumgarner (4-5, 3.05 ERA) makes his 15th start of the season. Bumgarner, who is 5-0 with a 0.47 ERA in five starts at Citi Field, last faced New York in the 2016 NL wild-card game Nolan Ryan Jersey , a shutout performance that sent San Francisco to the NLDS.Mets: RHP Jacob deGrom (8-7, 1.71) is coming off his first complete game of the season last Saturday at Philadelphia. DeGrom is 4-1 with a 3.12 ERA over six career starts against San Francisco. BOSTON (AP) The Boston Red Sox acquired Ian Kinsler from the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night, replacing the injured Dustin Pedroia at second base even as the AL East leaders distance themselves from the New York Yankees – and the rest of baseball, too.Boston will send Triple-A pitchers Ty Buttrey and Williams Jerez to Los Angeles, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said in the Red Sox clubhouse after they beat Philadelphia 2-1 in 13 innings. The Angels and Red Sox will in effect split the remaining $3,666,667 on Kinsler’s $11 million contract that expires at the end of the season, with Los Angeles paying Boston $1,833,333.”He’s the closest teammate that I’ve ever had to Dustin Pedroia,” said Red Sox left-hander David Price, who was Kinsler’s teammate with the Tigers when Dombrowski also traded for him there. ”He brings that intensity, that fire every single day. He’s a gamer. He’ll make any team better. I’m very happy we got him.”Angels general manager Billy Eppler said he spoke with Kinsler and thanked him for his time with the team.”That was difficult, but we’re excited about the players we’re getting back and the potential for an impact in the future http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-tom-seaver-jersey ,” Eppler said in a conference call late Monday night.”There’s a reason people gravitate to this guy. I know I did, and I was only around him less than a calendar year. We have to weigh that impact and the duration of that impact, for the guys returning in this deal.”A four-time All-Star, Kinsler is the third recent acquisition for the Red Sox as Tuesday’s trading deadline approaches. Dombrowski also brought in Steve Pearce a month ago and last week acquired starter Nathan Eovaldi, who earned a victory Sunday in his first start for Boston.With the win, the Red Sox improved to 75-33 – the best record in baseball, and their best mark since Ted Williams’ team coasted to the AL pennant in 1946. Boston is a season-high six games ahead of the Yankees, who visit Fenway Park for a four-game series this weekend.”I’m excited. I think we’re all excited,” Price said. ”I don’t know how many games we’re in first place by, but when you’re playing the Yankees, it’s always exciting.”Kinsler, 36, is batting .239 with 13 homers and 32 RBIs for the Angels this season. Dombrowski said he expects Kinsler to be the regular second baseman, moving Brock Holt and Eduardo Nunez back into utility roles once third baseman Rafael Devers comes off the disabled list.”Ian’s a really good defensive player Asdrubal Cabrera Jersey ,” Dombrowski said. ”Basically, it’s what we hoped, early this season, that Dustin would be.”Pedroia and Kinsler have been connected since their college days, when Pedroia took Kinsler’s starting job as shortstop at Arizona State in 2002. Kinsler transferred to Missouri the following year.Pedroia has played just three games this year after left knee surgery in the offseason. Dombrowski says it’s likely he won’t be back until very late in the season, if at all.A 25-year-old right-hander, Buttrey has a 2.25 ERA in 32 relief appearances at Triple-A Pawtucket this season.”He looks pretty darn close to major-league ready,” Eppler said. ”Looks like a guy that’s got a lot of upside.”Jerez, 26, is 2-1 with five saves and a 3.63 ERA in 34 relief appearances for the PawSox. The left-hander averages 95 mph with his fastball and hits 100.”We’re hoping those guys take that next step and we watch them in Los Angeles,” Eppler said. ”The Angels will always remain opportunistic. That’s what at least we hope this trade speaks.”— |
