Erratic, inconsistent Wood sends SF Giants to second straight loss vs. Mets

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:32:01 GMT

NEW YORK — Baseball has a way of foiling even the best-laid plans.The Giants, so they thought, identified the ideal pocket of the Mets batting order to start Alex Wood’s outing. With lefty Brett Baty due up to begin the third inning, manager Gabe Kapler decided to go away from Ross Stripling, their starter/opener/whatever you want to call it at this point, despite breezing through the Mets’ first seven batters.The matchup was supposed to give Wood a soft landing: the bottom two hitters of the Mets’ order and a platoon advantage against two of the first three batters he would face. It almost immediately began to go awry, as Wood had little feel for anything but his two-seam fastball and was out of the game before the end of the fourth inning.Wood issued four walks, hit a batter and allowed five runs while recording five outs in an 8-4 loss to the Mets that will make a long flight home, scheduled to land sometime around 3 a.m. PT, even longer. It sent the Giants to t...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:32:01 GMT

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jordan Montgomery beat the Yankees for the second time since they traded him last summer, pitching the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-1 win over Gerrit Cole on Sunday that completed a disappointing 3-3 trip for New York.“I was excited to faceoff against Gerrit,” Montogmery said. “He was supposed to duck me and pitch yesterday and then the rain happened, and we ended up locking horns. We were texting about it and just excited about it. It was definitely fun.”On a day Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected for the fifth time this season, Montgomery (6-7) allowed an unearned run, two hits and three walks in 6 2/3 innings. He held New York hitless until Gleyber Torres doubled with two outs in the sixth.“He was pounding the zone with everything he had,” Cardinals catcher Andrew Knizner said. “Down and away, inside hard, soft, he pretty much had a great mix of everything. Everything was working. Everything was getting outs.”Montgomery, a 30-year-old left-ha...
