WILLIAMSPORT http://www.dodgersfanproshop.com/authentic-yasiel-puig-jersey , Pa. (AP) — the on-deck circle, just like major league teams never line up after a game and shake hands.Put a big league game in a tiny park full of 11 and 12 year olds, though, and those kinds of customs get tossed aside.Amed Rosario had three hits and drove in three runs, and the New York Mets went from cheering on players in the Little League World Series to impressing the youngsters in an 8-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday night.Jeff McNeil added a two-run single to back Vargas (3-8) as the Mets claimed the second Little League Classic and prevented the Phillies from moving into first place in the NL East. Philadelphia dropped into a three-way tie for the top NL wild card.“I had some cool interactions with the kids,” Vargas said of his in-game dialogue. “They were having a great time.”Carlos Santana hit a two-run homer for the Phillies, but Nick Pivetta (7-10) allowed six runs in 3 2/3 innings in Philadelphia’s seventh loss in 11 games.After the final out, players lined up across the diamond for a postgame tradition for kids that’s never seen in the majors.“I thought the handshaking gesture was huge,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. “It’s something I experienced for the first time since I was in Little League.”Players and families from the 16 teams competing in the nearby LLWS packed into 2,500-seat Bowman Field, the 92-year-old home of the Phillies’ Class A affiliate in the New York-Penn League.And the spotlight shined on New York’s Todd Frazier and Michael Conforto and Philadelphia’s Scott Kingery, who are among 54 players who reached the majors after playing in the LLWS.“Pretty surreal because I walked into the dugout and they were getting ready to play a game and one of them was like, ‘Whoa, that’s Scott Kingery!'” said the rookie infielder, who doubled in the fifth. “That’s crazy, because I remember when I was sitting in that dugout.”Frazier, who sparked a four-run second with a leadoff single, helped Toms River, New Jersey, win the 1998 title when he led off the game with a home run and struck out the final batter.“It’s been a long day, but well worth it Hyun-Jin Ryu Jersey ,” said Frazier, who hadn’t been back to Williamsport since 1999. “I kept telling these kids, let it all sink in.”The Mets built a 6-0 lead in the fourth to take the five-game series and improve to 8-5 against the Phillies, who dropped a half-game behind division-leading Atlanta.The teams flew 185 miles Sunday morning from Philadelphia, where the first four games were played. They were met by youth players at the airport, then bused to the Little League complex.“We were driving through the city and people were coming out of their homes and waving to us,” Mets manager Mickey Callaway said.While watching the kids play, Mets ace Jacob deGrom interviewed some for TV. Santana took selfies with the youngsters. Phillies outfielder Rhys Hoskins chased down Little Leaguer and internet sensation Alfred “Big Al” Delia.“We share a common love, hitting dingers,” Hoskins said.Hoskins narrowly missed homering with a long foul in the third and a single off the wall in the sixth against Vargas, who entered with an 8.10 ERA.Santana followed with his 18th homer, and Vargas was lifted after allowing two runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings.Rosario had a two-run single in the second, chased Pivetta with a single in the fourth and added a sixth-inning RBI single.The Little League teams were introduced, in full uniform, before the game. They danced between innings, ate plenty of ice cream and watched the lowly Mets collect 14 hits.“Some of them are stepping into America for the first time ever and they get to see a Major League Baseball game. I think that’s pretty cool,” Frazier said. “And that one kid who’s never been here before, you want to show them the right way to play and how exciting it is and how great it is.”NEXT YEARCommissioner Rob Manfred announced the Cubs will face the Pirates in next year’s Williamsport game on Aug. 18.HAPPY ADDITIONSTwo of the more excited players were Phillies C Andrew Knapp and Mets 1B Dominic Smith, who were recalled from the minors. Each team could add a 26th player because it was a neutral site game.“A tremendous experience,” said Smith, who had an RBI double in the eighth.Knapp purchased a West regional Little League cap. The California native fell a couple wins shy of reaching LLWS when he was a kid.“I didn’t get one when I was 11 Jose Fernandez Jersey , so I had to get one now,” he said.TRAINER’S ROOMMets: Brandon Nimmo (left index finger) was out of the lineup for the fourth straight game. … 3B David Wright (shoulder, back) ended an 0-for-14 rehab skid by going 2 for 3 for Class A St. Lucie while playing five innings in the field. … OF Jay Bruce (left hip) went 2 for 5 as the DH for St. Lucie.Phillies: RHP Jerad Eickhoff (right lat) allowed one run and three hits in 4 2/3 innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.UP NEXTMets: RHP Zack Wheeler (8-6, 3.75 ERA) opposes San Francisco LHP Derek Holland (6-8, 3.83) on Monday night in New York.Phillies: RHP Vince Velasquez (8-9, 4.13) faces Nationals RHP Tanner Roark on Tuesday night to open a three-game series at Washington. On Aug. 31, Tyler Glasnow pitched the best game of his still-developing major league career, yielding a run and two hits in seven innings at Cleveland.He lost the game but flashed the form the Tampa Bay Rays want to see as he gets this major league thing together.On Tuesday night, the big right-hander, who is 1-5 this year and 3-14 in his major league career (with Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay), goes against rookie Shane Bieber and the Indians in the second game of a three-game series at Tropicana Field.Article continues below ...The Rays are in pursuit of their 13th straight home victory.On Monday night, the Rays’ bats helped teammate Blake Snell by chasing Cy Young favorite Corey Kluber in the second inning, then couldn’t hold a 4-1 lead before Ji-Man Choi hit a two-run homer in the ninth to win it.“An exciting win to say the least,” Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said. “You just don’t see that type of inning (the second) against Corey Kluber. We were fortunate that we had some good at-bats, some patient at-bats, and got some big hits.”The Cleveland bullpen then shut the Rays down — until the ninth, when Choi connected off Brad Hand, the eighth Indians pitcher, with two outs to win it.Tampa Bay, still a long-shot wild-card hopeful, came off the three-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles and have now won have won eight of their last nine and 17 of their last 20 games. They are 15 games above .500 and are 33-8 at the Trop since June 11.The Rays are 25-11 since the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.The Indians http://www.marlinsfanproshop.com/authentic-martin-prado-jersey , who are closing in on clinching the American League Central, got Andrew Miller back Monday and will activate the recently required Josh Donaldson on Tuesday night.Cleveland had to answer reported complaints by Yankees and Red Sox contenders about the way the club acquired Donaldson and was then able to have him play rehab games in the minors.“We didn’t do anything different than any other team could’ve done,” Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said. “And, in fact, there were a lot of other teams that were negotiating with Josh at the time of the trade. Now, we can only see the one reality of what played out, because only one team can end up getting the guy.“And there’s only one thing to assess, and that’s what happened in the time that we had Josh with us. But, had he been traded to another team, the very same process very well could’ve played out with them.”In the start after the big game in Cleveland, Glasnow lasted just two-thirds of an inning in Toronto, yielding five hits, two walks and seven runs. The only positive was his two outs were both strikeouts.“I don’t think it gets much worse than that,” said Glasnow, who has 112 strikeouts in 87 1/3 innings this season. “Just have to forget about it and get the next.”Bieber goes for the Indians, who are close to clinching the AL Central. The right-hander is 9-3 with a 4.63 ERA and has gone 4-1 since July 24 — 3-1 with an unimpressive 5.53 ERA in his last five times out.The night after Glasnow suffered his tough loss to the Indians, Bieber lost to the Rays, allowing nine hits and four runs, all earned, in 5 1/3 innings.The Rays won Monday without Kevin Kiermaier (illness) and Matt Duffy (back tightness).While Kluber’s teammates hurt his Cy Young chances – his ERA went from 2.75 to 2.91 – Snell can bolster his own campaign when he goes for his 19th victory of the season in Wednesday night’s series finale against the Indians.
