Michael King Got New York Out Of Bases Loaded Jam That Aroldis Chapman Created! Before That Luis Severino Kept Toronto's Offense At Bay, Isiah -Kiner Falfea, Jose Trevino Provided Offense In 3-0 Win
Michael King got New York out of bases loaded jam Thursday that Aroldis Chapman created by walking batters and in the process bringing the potential go ahead run to the plate that was Matt Chapman
When?
In the 9th inning Thursday.
How?
By throwing just five pitches that included him getting ahead of Bo Bichette with a sinker that nicked the zone, again efforting for a grounder. Trevino called for a curve, and Bichette flared a soft pop to the right side of the infield, one that seemed as though it might find the right-field turf.
DJ LeMahieu ranged to his left, snaring the ball on the run, then whipped a throw to Anthony Rizzo at first base -- just ahead of Chapman, who was diving back into the bag headfirst. Just like that, ballgame over, meltdown averted.
Before Michael King took the mound to relief his teammate Aroldis Chapman who was having difficulty with his command and throwing strikes Luis Severino who started pitched five innings, struck out 6 and walked 2 batters.
