I was just thinking this. I think he got out every AB after, though.

Enmanuel Valdez has both of Worcester's hits now after a single in the bottom of the 4th.

Meanwhile, the Mets purchased prospects, Luisangel Acuna & Drew Gilbert, are lighting up Coffey.

They brought Penrod back out for a 6th inning, despite him being around 90 pitches, & he allowed a groundball to Ferguson which he failed to field & a single.

At that point they took him out & brought in Reidis Sena & he got out of the inning unscathed - sac bunt, strikeout, groundout.

Lol I was literally going to make a post asking if anyone was even reading any of this. & I totally get it. Would be nice if there's actually video of the most recent Teel one. I idly looked around for the 1st one for like an hour.

No win for Penrod, though. Sena allowed a run in the 7th on a triple & a single. 1-1.

They left Sena in for the 8th & he got 2nd & 3rd with 1 out, but a ground ball to Teel & a ground ball to Coffey later, they're tied at 1 headed to the 9th.

 

[JM3]

Salem is on the board in the 9th on a walk, a balk & an Albert Feliz single.

Still down 7-1 with 1 out.
