DENVER When he starts Wednesday against the New York Mets Authentic Saquon Barkley Jersey , Chad Bettis will try to build off his last game for the Colorado Rockies, one that included a deceptively bad pitching line that masked an abrupt turnaround.
On Friday at Texas, Bettis (5-1, 4.65) gave up five runs in the first inning, including two two-run homers on badly located breaking pitches. But Bettis went on to pitch 4 2/3 scoreless innings, a span in which he allowed two singles and retired 12 of the final 13 batters he faced with six strikeouts.
The Rockies erupted for six runs in the second and went on to win 9-5 and give Bettis his first victory after six straight no-decisions. He had not won since May 5 at Citi Field when he worked seven scoreless innings against the Mets.
It didnt surprise me what he did (against the Rangers) because hes tenacious, Rockies manager Bud Black said. He doesnt back down. He doesnt quit. And I think he knew there was a long way to go. I think it naturally energized him when we got six runs in the top of the next inning.
Before that uprising Youth Bo Scarbrough Jersey , Black said Bettis could have caved in and accepted that it wasnt his night.
The good ones dont let that happen, Black said. He knew that there were four or five more innings for him to stay out there, especially in that American League game. That showed me a lot that he put up zeros for 4 2/3 (innings).
Bettis, who is 1-0, 4.05 in three starts against the Mets, will be trying to finally win at Coors Field this year where he is 0-0, 7.76 in six starts. He will take the mound after the Rockies beat the Mets 10-8 Tuesday night to even the four-game series and break an eight-game losing streak at Coors Field. The win was just the fifth in 18 games for the Rockies Kris Bryant Jersey , who are 12-20 at Coors Field, where they have typically dominated.
Overall we havent pitched well here for whatever reason, Black said. We got to do that. We got to make pitches. It doesnt matter where we play, we got to pitch well. And whats happening here at home is the other team is making better pitches than us over the course of 150, 180 pitches.
Bettis will be opposed by Seth Lugo (2-2, 2.49), who will be making his Coors Field debut and is 1-1 Jim Rice Jersey , 3.00 in three starts this season with one walk and 18 strikeouts in 15 innings. Lugo is 1-0, 3.55 in three games, including one start, against the Rockies.
The Mets three-game winning streak ended Tuesday as they lost for the 13th time in 17 games and fell to 14-30 since May 1.
The Mets put outfielder Jay Bruce on the 10-day disabled list retroactive to Monday with right hip soreness after he missed a fourth start in five days and sent him back to New York for an MRI. Dominic Smith, a first baseman by trade, played left field Tuesday, and Mets manager Mickey Callaway said Smith Cheap Brandon Parker Jersey , who began playing the outfield last month for Triple-A Las Vegas and entered Fridays game in Arizona as the left fielder, would receive work at that position as the Mets go with four outfielders.
To replace Bruce, they recalled Tim Peterson, wanting an extra reliever with three games left in the series at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Peterson threw 19 pitches in two perfect innings Tuesday. The Mets will re-evaluate their roster before beginning a Friday series at home with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Mets outfield corps now includes Smith and Jose Bautista along with regulars Brandon Nimmo and Michael Conforto. Callaway said Wilmer Flores, who has had outfield experience, would stay at first base, leaving Smith and Bautista as the primary options in left field.
We wont hesitate to put Dom out there like we did today Authentic M.J. Stewart Jersey , Callaway said, but Bautista, who has been having great at-bats and playing pretty well in the outfield for us will get some playing time as well.
