The large congregation of New York Mets fans that sat around the visitor’s dugout seemed to be the only ones with something to cheer about at Coors Field on Friday night.
Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor totaled four RBIs on two hits. Starting pitcher Max Scherzer recorded eight strikeouts in seven innings. Meanwhile, the Rockies–winners of three of their last four games–couldn’t do much to weather the storm, falling to the National League team from the Big Apple, 5-2.
However, the Mets responded in the ninth. Center fielder Brandon Nimmo hit one of his two triples. On the next at-bat, Lindor hit a deep sacrifice fly to center to give New York a three-run advantage. From that point, the evening turned into a pitcher’s duel where Seabold kept up with Scherzer, a World Series champion and future Hall of Famer. The highlight from Seabold’s start came in the third inning. With the bases loaded and one out, he struck out first baseman Pete Alonso on a 3-2 slider that was way outside the zone. Seabold, once again, turned to the slider, striking out Mets third baseman Bretty Baty to get out of the inning with the score remaining 2-1.
“I gotta find a third offering that’s gonna help me out because the third time through the lineup, making it way too easy,” Seabold said. “Fastball and slider is not going to get me through three times a lineup.”
