Padres reliever Nabil Crismatt opens World Baseball Classic with four solid innings for Colombia
Pressed into early action due to injury, the Padres’ 28-year-old right-hander struck out three batters over four solid innings in Colombia’s World Baseball Classic opener against Mexico.
Crimsatt threw 34 of his 57 pitches for strikes and allowed one run on three hits in trying to keep pace with Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias, who allowed three runs in the fifth after opening the game with four perfect innings.Crismatt allowed a first-pitch double to Randy Arozarena in the bottom of the first but fetched two groundouts and a pop-up to stand the runner at third base, the start of 10 straight outs before Joey Meneses’ one-out single in the fourth.
Crismatt had been originally slated to start Colombia’s second game, but José Quintana’s fractured rib pushed the Padres reliever into the opener, not all that unlike Blake Snell’s groin injury last April forcing the Colombian into an emergency start on opening weekend., making them the first Colombian battery to ever start a Major League Baseball game.
Alfaro, now with the Red Sox, served as Colombia’s DH on Saturday and provided the leadoff double that started a three-run rally to answer the lone run that Crismatt allowed.
