Here's what happened in Mets Land on Friday, including an offensive outburst in a win over the Diamondbacks.
Jose Iglesias was more emotional about the opportunity to play in his 1,097th career MLB game than he was about his first. Upon learning late Thursday night that he was getting called up from Triple-A by the Mets, the 34-year-old infielder thought back to when he was the top prospect in the Red Sox organization and about to make his major-league debut in September 2011. “They're both special, right?” Iglesias said. “But this one has a lot more meaning for me. It's been more difficult in terms of individual challenges for me to come up this way. I feel very proud of myself, of the work that I'm doing, and the information I'm getting from this great staff that we have. I won't take it for granted.”
The Mets are keeping a close eye on top prospect Luisangel Acuna, but they didn't consider calling him up to fill their utility infielder need this time around.
