LAST TIME OUT: Brooklyn emerged victorious in a wacky game on Thursday night over the BlueClaws, 6-4...All four of the Cyclones' runs came in the seventh frame or later...Gilbert Gómez's crew utilized a four-run seventh inning to seize the lead, all without the benefit of a single base hit...The four runs scored were Brooklyn's highest total output in a single frame this season, and the most since they put up three in Game 2 of last Saturday's doubleheader against Asheville... Oddly enough, the crooked number came after Brooklyn was held without a run for 21 straight innings...RHP Noah Hall hurled his best outing of the season, tossing five innings with only one run surrendered...Jersey Shore proceeded to tie the game in the home seventh, but 2B Wilfredo Lara and 1B Ryan Clifford each came through with RBI singles to hand Brooklyn a 6-4 lead it would never relinquish.
WOODEN AIR CONDITIONER: Cyclones pitchers have created a ton of additional breeze via strikeouts in 2024...Entering play on Friday, Brooklyn has registered 133 strikeouts in 101.1 innings, which is tied with Winston-Salem for the most in the South Atlantic League...Not only have the Cyclones racked up the punchouts, they have limited walks, too...Brooklyn enters the day tied for the third-fewest free passes (43) in the circuit...As a team, the 'Clones have a 31.1% strikeout rate and a 10.0% walk rate.
FELIP-IN' AMAZIN': LHP Felipe De La Cruz has tossed 8.1 shutout innings to start the 2024 season for the Cyclones...The 8.1 frames are the most by a New York Mets farmhand this year without allowing a run...The 22-year-old has permitted just four hits and two walks while striking out six...Since making his South Atlantic League debut last August 23, De La Cruz is 2-1 with a 1.78 ERA (5 ER in 25.1 IP) with seven walks and 23 punch-outs...Since his Brooklyn debut, the southpaw leads in second the circuit in WHIP (0.87), ERA (1.78), and batting average against (.170), and fifth in innings pitched (25.1).
CLIFF NOTES: 1B/OF Ryan Clifford enters Friday's matchup on a personal and team season-high five-game hitting streak and nine-game on-base streak...Over the five-game hit streak since Saturday's doubleheader, the 20-year-old is 5-for-21 (.238) with two doubles, two RBI, and two walks...His on-base streak stretches since April 9...During that span, Clifford is 7-for-31 (.226) with four extra-base hits — including a home run — three RBI, and five walks.
LONG ARM OF THE LAW: RHP Justin Lawson has been resplendent for the Cyclones out of the bullpen to start his professional career...The Mets' 15th-round pick in 2023 did not pitch after the draft but has tossed five shutout frames since debuting on April 9 vs. Asheville...The 23-year-old tossed three spotless frames for the save in his maiden appearance and needed just eight pitches for another save on Thursday...Lawson has thrown 73.7% (42/57) of his pitches for strikes and holds a 41.2% strikeout rate and a 5.9% walk rate.
