Elly De La Cruz steals 2nd, 3rd and home in 2-pitch span, sparks Reds to 8-5 win over Brewers

Published Wed, 27 Nov 2024 06:22:34 GMT

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Elly De La Cruz became the first Reds player since 1919 to steal second, third and home in the same inning, the latest electrifying play from the franchise-changing rookie, and Cincinnati beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-5 on Saturday.De La Cruz broke a 5-5 tie in the seventh inning with a two-out RBI single off Elvis Peguero, then made the reliever’s life miserable in a span of two pitches. He stole second on a 1-1 offering from Peguero (1-2). On the next pitch, De La Cruz swiped third without a throw.The rattled reliever caught the ball from catcher William Contreras in front of the mound and turned his back as he walked slowly toward the rubber. Pausing only to put his helmet back on, De La Cruz walked down the third base line, broke into a sprint and easily beat Peguero’s rushed throw to the plate.“I kept checking on him, checking on him to see if he was going to go back or if he was checking on me or anything like that,” De La Cruz said through a transl...

Mets Notebook: Configuring the starting rotation with Kodai Senga in the All-Star Game

Published Wed, 27 Nov 2024 06:22:34 GMT

SAN DIEGO — When right-hander Kodai Senga was named to the All-Star team as a replacement Saturday, it caught more than the pitcher by surprise — it caught the rest of the team by surprise too.This means the Mets have a new wrinkle in their post-break pitching plans. With Kodai Senga off to Seattle and the Mets hoping to keep pitching him on extra rest, they’ll need another starter for the first game after the break.Senga was in line to pitch the first game of the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at home July 14, but if NL manager Rob Thomson decides to have him pitch in the All-Star Game then the Mets will need to alter course. Lucky for the NL team, Senga will be on six days of rest Tuesday, when the game is played at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, which is when he has been his sharpest.Mets manager Buck Showalter had a call with Thomson prior to Saturday’s game against the San Diego Padres to discuss the usage of Senga and first baseman Pete Alonso.“...
