2016 NLDS - Metropolis vs. Sacramento - Game Three

Tied at one-game each, the 2016 National League Division Series moves to Sacramento for the middle three games. The hometown Senators gave the ball to lefty Patrick Corbin and the Avengers countered with righty Stephen Strasburg. 


Danny Valencia homered off Patrick Corbin.
Avenger third baseman Danny Valencia got the scoring started in the top of the second, when he followed a Chris Davis single with a home run just over the left-field wall for a two-run homer and a quick Metropolis lead. 

Metropolis rallied again in the top of the fifth. Shortstop Jose Iglesias leaned into a Corbin changeup to start the inning with a hit by pitch. Andrew McCutchen followed with a single to put runners on the corners with no outs. Avenger MVP candidate Bryce Harper ripped a line drive, but it was right to Logan Morrison for an out. However, Giancarlo Stanton was able to do the job and hit a soft single to left to score Iglesias and put the Avengers up 3-0.

Stephen Strasburg dominated through 5 1/3 innings for the win.
While the Avenger bats were putting runs on the board, Strasburg was cruising. Alex Gordon was the only Senator Strasburg allowed to reach base - Gordon walked in the first inning and singled to lead off the fourth. Surprisingly, Metropolis pulled Strasburg with one out in the sixth inning. He had allowed just the one hit and one walk while striking out eight Senator hitters through 5 1/3 innings. 

The Senators may have been happy to see Strasburg exit, but the Avenger bullpen wasn't going to let them back in the game. Xavier Cedeno, Matt Albers, Aroldis Chapman, and Jeff Manship combined to pitch 3 2/3 innings while allowing just two base runners. Altogether, the Metropolis pitchers allowed just four baserunners while striking out eleven batters.

Sacramento's bullpen was just as good, but it didn't matter. The final few innings were relatively uneventful and Metropolis cruised to a 3-0 win and and pulled ahead in the series two games to one.

Having squandered it's early lead in the series, the Senators will match Matt Shoemaker against Avenger starter Collin McHugh in Game Four.
