Familia shines, but Cyclones drop 11th straight
Losing Ways Continue Despite Scoreless Frame by Mets All-Star Closer
Jeurys Familia’s path back toward the Majors continued Tuesday night at Coney Island’s MCU Park, as did the Cyclones’ road to making history of the worst kind.
The Mets’ rehabbing All-Star closer pitched an inning of scoreless relief, needing just 11 pitches to get through his third minor league appearance while recovering from surgery to remove a blood clot near his right shoulder back in May.
“I feel great, 100 percent,” Familia said after topping out at 95 miles-per-hour on the radar gun during his abbreviated stint, which was scheduled to be followed by another one-inning outing Wednesday night.
