Mets' Mauricio Hits Walk-Off in Debut

0:00On April 8th, Metz pulled off a 4-3 thriller over the Diamondbacks in 10 innings at Cityfield. Ronnie Mauricio, called up from AAA just a day earlier, crushed a pinch hit walkoff single to write in his first major league at Bat this season. He filled in for Juan Soto, sidelined by a right calf strain. Arizona mounted a massive comeback in the fifth, exploding for three runs after a pivotal automated ball strike challenge. Umpires overturned a call third strike on Adrian Del Castillo, pitch was three tenths of an inch off the plate, letting him tie the game with A, two runs single, then Nolan Arnotto added an RBI double. That rally unraveled starter Freddie Peralta acquired in a big offseason trade from the Brewers. The righty tossed four scoreless before loading the bases and exiting after four and two thirds innings, charged with three earned runs on his ledger. It's his third start with the Metz, where his ERA sits at 4.80. Metz fought back, nodding it in the eighth on Jared Young's sacrifice fly against Jonathan LaWaziga.

1:04Francisco Lindor sparked the early two run edge with key hits in the first and second, shaking off a recent 2-4-25 slum, despite A, fielding, Miss Q. Cold winds forced an early 4-10 p.m. start, but the Metz stay hot at 7-4, riding this momentum into Wednesday's match-up. From your team, powered by AI, this is New York Metz News Today.
