He wound up allowing three hits and one unearned run over six innings with no walks.Yuli Gurriel hit a single in the top of the fifth inning for Miami’s first hit, but Kirby recovered by striking out Jean Segura and Jon Berti to escape the inning without damage.Kirby tends to live around the strike zone with his pitches, but was able to coax Marlins hitters to chase pitches throughout the game. The Marlins swung at 48 percent of Kirby’s pitches off the plate, and 58 percent of his fastballs out of the zone.“I was able to expand the slider a little bit today,” Kirby said. “But yeah, if I’m living in the zone, they’ve got to protect anything on the outer half.

The Mets are choosing to play a man down each night without their left-handed hitting designated hitter despite opportunities to use him, especially in late-game situations.It’s strange to carry a player without using him at all, but Vogelbach isn’t injured and the team didn’t want to find an injury for him, so he continues to work on finding his stride again with the team.“I’ve been working on stuff that can hopefully lead to me getting the ball in the air like I like to get the ball in the air,” Vogelbach said Wednesday before the Mets hosted the Yankees in the second Subway Series game of the year. “Just being able to get in the cage and really dial into stuff that I can really go after and not have to ...
