Metropolis has a 1-0 lead in the NLCS, having exploded for a five-run inning against Brew City ace Matt Harvey. Each team sent their #2 to the hill for game number two - Stephen Strasburg for Metropolis and Cliff Lee for Brew City.
Both pitchers started strong, retiring the other side 1-2-3 in the first inning. Lee was a bit wild in the second, hitting Jayson Werth to start the frame. Werth went to second on a Jose Bautista walk and then scored the game's first run on a Carlos Quentin single.
Metropolis added to its lead in the third inning. Josh Satin, starting against the LHP Lee in place of slugger Chris Davis, squared up a curveball and hit a two run homer over the wall in right-center.
With a 3-0 lead, Strasburg looked to be in control, allowing just two baserunners through five innings. Metropolis went to the
bullpen after Starling Marte doubled with one out in the sixth inning, calling on flamethrowing lefty Aroldis Chapman. Chapman uncorked a wild pitch and then gave up an RBI double to Brett Gardner, but retired Paul Goldschmidt and Carlos Beltran to end the inning.
After that, the Metropolis bullpen was in control. Nick Vincent went 1-2-3 in the seventh and eighth innings before giving the ball to Caleb Thielbar. Thielbar retired Gardner, Goldschmidt and Beltran in order to close out the game and give Metropolis a 2-0 lead in the series.
