Domingo German’s second start of the season went much better than his first.
He had appeared overmatched last Thursday in Houston after missing the first half of the season with the right shoulder impingement that sidelined him in the spring, but German held his own against the Mets on Wednesday nightGerman allowed two runs in 4 ²/₃ innings and struck out seven. The right-hander said a more aggressive approach on the mound helped him stay ahead in counts.
Manager Aaron Boone said he was encouraged by the bounce-back performance after German had allowed five runs in three innings to the Astros last Thursday.After Luis Severino went down with a lat strain, German took his spot in the rotation.Boone said he went with closer Clay Holmes in the bottom of the eighth inning Wednesday with the score tied 2-2 because the closer hadn’t pitched since Friday and he wasn’t going to risk not needing him for the bottom of the ninth.
The move worked in the eighth, as Holmes pitched a scoreless inning with Alonso, Daniel Vogelbach, Mark Canha and Jeff McNeil to get through.That left Wandy Peralta to pitch the ninth, which didn’t go as well. Eduardo Escobar opened with a double and later scored on Starling Marte’s single.Michael King already has been ruled out for this season, but his availability for next year is still to be determined. The right-hander underwent surgery on his fractured elbow Wednesday morning.
“When this heals, they’ll revisit where they think from a ligament standpoint things are,” Boone said. “I think there’s differing opinions there and they want to compare it to old things and see where it is as this heals. I don’t know all the intricacies of it, but we’ll have a better idea of it with some more time.”Ron Marinaccio could go a long way toward helping to fill the void left by King’s injury if he continues to pitch the way he has of late.
