On Friday, during the eighth inning, the Brewers knew to test the arms of the Yoenis Cespedes. When Jesus Aguilar catches a fly ball which hit off from the base of the left-field wall, he makes a wide turn around the first before retreating and throwing his own hands up. The activity that he had done in the field seems to like he was surrendering the thought of a double as Cespedes for a strike to the second base.
When Aguilar keepssingling, it helped the Mets bullpen escape an eventful eighth inning on the way to win over the Brewers at Citi Field by 6-5. An inning before that, Cespedes had slowed down the speed of Lorenzo Cain, who was trying hard to go from first to third on a single to the left side of the field. The outfield assist by Cespedes was the second of the year and it ends with the seventh inning and it ends a potential Brewers rally.
According to the manager Mickey Callaway, “That was a huge play. That was probably the game-changing play.” He added by saying that the way he made the play by catching and throwing the ball in one motion before the right foot hits the ground was something extraordinary. This helps us to fire ourselves in our dugout. All the fans in the stadium are going crazy and nuts due to his amazing play.
Cespedes also raised his batting average by about 26 points with just two-hit night and flashed his glove during the second inning when he has a leaping grab on the track to rob Aguilar for some extra bases. Wheeler is waiting in line to start against the Nationals on Tuesday, which is said to be heavier test than the Marlins lineup. He has held o two hits and one rum over for last seven innings.
