Good morning, baseball fans.
The San Francisco Giants traded Darin Ruf to the New York Mets at the trade deadline earlier this month when they acquired J.D. Davis, Thomas Szapucki, Nick Zwack and Carson Seymour.
At the time, though, I bet the Giants didn’t realize the bullpen potential they were trading away. In Monday night’s game between the Mets and the Atlanta Braves, Ruf entered to pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning, with the Mets down 13-1.
He managed to pitch two innings of one-hit ball on 14 pitches.
