for Hefner
Jeremy Hefner is
remaining with the New
York Mets as a pitcher, but
his role will be changing for
the time being.
Hefner, a Perkins-Tryon
High School standout, has
been moved to the bullpen
following the return of a
pair of previous starters
in the five-man rotation.
Hefner had made his latest
start last Wednesday but
lost to the Washington
Nationals.
Hefner pitched six
innings giving up four runs
with three of them earned
on seven hits, He also had
three strikeouts to make
his record 1-3. His earned
run average was 5.32 as of
Sunday.
He had two at bats going
O-1 officially. He laid down
a sacrifice bunt during his
first trip to the plate in
the third inning. The bunt
advanced Omar Quintanilla
to second base. Quintanilla
eventually scored on a Kirk
Nieuwenhuls single for a 4-
1 score. Hefner struck out in
the fifth inning.
Mets manager Terry
Collins said last Thurs-
day he would like to keep
Hefner with the parent club
if possible. "He's pitched
well enough to stay here,"
