Vic Black continues to contribute

September 23, 2013

New York Mets – Vic Black got the call in the 8th inning for the second straight night, and though he allowed a run, he held the lead and bridged the gap to LaTroy Hawkins.  The hard-throwing righty keeps racking up stats, with as he’s now picked up four holds in the last two weeks, and he’s now certainly in the conversation for saves on nights when Hawkins is unavailable.  Hierarchy change: Vic Black to Set-up, Frank Francisco to 2nd in line.
