2014 NLDS Game Six - Metropolis vs. Glen Allen


Metropolis and Glen Allen returned to the Hall of Justice for Game Six, a must-win if the Mets hoped to keep their season alive. Glen Allen starter Wily Peralta took the ball and was matched by Avenger righty Stephen Strasburg. 

Chris Davis's grand slam put the game out of reach.
Peralta allowed a single and a walk in the bottom of the first, but Andrew McCutchen grounded into a double play and Jayson Werth lined out to end any threat. Strasburg looked good in the first two innings, setting down six in a row after a leadoff walk to Coco Crisp.

Unfortunately for the visitors, the wheels fell off for Peralta in the bottom of the second. Bryce Harper led off the inning with a long homer and Peralta then loaded the bases with one out by walking Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Jose Reyes around a Carlos Quentin double. Robinson Cano hit a sharp line drive, but second baseman Ian Kinsler snared it for the second out. Peralta wasn’t as lucky when McCutchen hit his own line drive, as it found a hole and scored two runs for a 3-0 Metropolis lead. The Mets intentionally walked Chris Davis to load the bases for Jayson Werth, who Peralta walked on four pitches to force in the fourth run of the inning.

Stephen Strasburg cruised after Metropolis grabbed a big lead.
The Mets tried to fight back in the top of the third, as Pablo Sandoval and Crisp both singled. Strasburg avoided any damage by striking out Andre Ethier and retiring Adrian Gonzalez on a fly ball to end the inning. Peralta’s struggles continued into the third, as he allowed a one-out single by Saltalamacchia and then a two-run homer by Quentin. That pushed the score to 6-0 and had the Metropolis fans looking ahead to the NLCS.

Strasburg surrendered a run in the top of the fourth, on singles by Hunter Pence, Jason Castro and Alexi Ramirez. The Mets never seriously threatened after that rally, but the Avengers padded their lead with a two-run Werth double in the fourth and a Davis grand slam in the fifth. That bomb ended the scoring and Strasburg finished took care of the rest himself, protecting the 12-1 lead to finish off the Mets in Game Six and the NLDS.
