Mets pitching prospect Brandon Sproat bounced back from one of his worst starts in Triple-A this season on Tuesday night with Syracuse.
In his last start, Sproat allowed six runs (five earned) on three hits and three walks. It was a very different story for Sproat, who dominated Indianapolis hitters, striking out seven batters across five innings (83 pitches/54 strikes). He allowed one run on two hits and one walk.
The young right-hander got off to a hot start, striking out the side in the first inning. He then struck out three more batters in the second inning, sandwiching a two-out triple to put his punchout total to six. Indianapolis would get to Sproat in the third inning.
After a leadoff walk and a wild pitch, Sproat allowed a double to push across Indianapolis' first run of the game. Sproat would settle down, getting the next three batters out, including his seventh strikeout of the game to end the threat.
Sproat would cruise through the final three innings without much doing from Indianapolis, working around a fielding error to keep the score tied 1-1 after six.
