Betances: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 5 BB, 6 SO After today's start he lowers his ERA to 0.76. Tim Norton picked up the win, in which the Trenton Thunder defeated the Binghamton Mets 3-2 on a walkoff triple by LF Austin Krum.
Here are Betances quotes about his shaky, but successful start.
"I gotta get better with that. If I want to move up, I definitely have to command my fastball and all my other pitches. That's something I'm going to work on until the next game."
"The last couple of games I walked too many guys. I'm just trying to do too much when there's runners on."
[Betances worked quickly and economically through the first two innings, but began to get his pitch count up and had trouble with control after that. This is his response when asked about that] "I have to work on my delivery and try to be more consistent. Other than that, I felt good from the wind up, it's just one of those things I've got to fix."
