After two visits to the plate where Carlos Carrasco had knocked him out with three hits, Leblanc finally settled the Mets right by hitting a solid pair near the right-field boundary line on Carrasco’s first offer after two outs. round.

“The only thing I thought about was whether I would go to three or not,” Leblanc said in an interview with TV Miami after the game.

Leblanc admitted that he was particularly happy to have performed his tour de force in front of a dozen family and friends.

“This is wonderful! They arrived this morning. I didn’t know if I was going to play today. I got a message last night (Friday) saying I was going to play, I told them ‘yes, I will play, hurry up’. There is no doubt that it is special. »

Like any player who lands his first hit, Leblanc got the ball back.

“She’s in my closet now. Maybe she’ll stay there for a while, until we get home. I will put him in a special place for sure,” Leblanc said, adding that tonight was a dream come true.

Leblanc’s coup ended Carrasco’s night of work. However, Leblanc showed his inexperience when he was caught between second and third bases by a pitch from catcher Tomas Nido to shortstop Francisco Lindor.

Stuck, Leblanc headed to third base, but was eventually eliminated when Lindor relayed the ball to Edouardo Escobar, who ended the inning.

Nido somehow got revenge on Leblanc, who may have denied him a hit in the first half of the seventh inning.

On a bouncing ball that looked like it wanted to slip between him and shortstop Miguel Rojas, Leblanc, who was playing at third base, first dove to the left to get the ball.

He quickly got to his feet and calmly relayed the ball in time for first baseman Lewin Diaz to eliminate Nido.

Sporting number 83 and listed ninth on the list, Leblanc made his first plate appearance as the Marlins’ first hitter in the second half of the third inning.

After tearing through the air on Carrasco’s first two shots, Leblanc saw a shot graze the inside corner for a third goal.

Leblanc offered a better battle on his second visit to the plate after two outs late in the fifth inning and with teammate Nick Fortes at first base after a field hit.

After being pitted against a zero ball count and two goals, Leblanc managed to bring Carrasco to a full count. Leblanc, however, was surprised by a spinning ball to the inside corner at knee height, giving Carrasco his sixth shot of the match.

“After my first shot, my heart was pounding like crazy. I was like, “Okay, calm down. See (the ball) and hit”. I think I had a good second at bat. She set the third and I had a good chance of hitting it. And it happened. »

Leblanc, 26, was called up by the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp Marlins at the AAA level on Friday.

In 87 games for the Marlins farm in 2022, Leblanc averaged 0.302 hits with 14 homers, 45 RBIs and six stolen bases.

Leblanc was a Texas Rangers fourth-round pick in 2016.

The Mets scored three of their runs by homers, by Jeff McNeil in the third inning, and by Lindor and JD Davis, both in the eighth inning.

In seven and two-thirds of innings, Carrasco (11-4) allowed four hits and two walks, in addition to seven strikeouts. His performance allowed him to sign his 100and career victory.

Seth Lugo has scored the last four eliminations.

The loss went to Nick Neidert (0-1), who had two runs won and five hits in five innings.
