The New York Mets announced Wednesday (August 26, 2009) that they have recalled righthanded pitcher Lance Broadway from their triple-A affiliate in Buffalo.
Broadway, the grandson of my mother Verna Giesler Gupton's sister Yvonne Giesler Broadway, was 5-7 with a 6.27 ERA in 16 games and 14 starts with the Buffalo Bisons. He struck out 41 and walked 34 while allowing 59 earned runs to score in 84 and two-thirds innings pitched in his time with the Bisons. Broadway was victorious on Monday as he allowed just two runs in 5.1 innings of work in the Herd's 7-2 win in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Broadway also pitched a complete game with Buffalo on July 8 when he allowed just one run in nine innings in a 4-1 win over the New York Yankees' triple-A team at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The former first round pick out of Texas Christian University in the 2005 June First Year Player Draft, was acquired from the Chicago White Sox on May 29, 2009, in exchange for Mets backup catcher Ramon Castro. In eight games with the White Sox this season, he posted a 0-1 record with a 5.06 ERA (nine earned runs allowed in 16 innings). The 6-3, 195-pound hurler, who is the son of my first cousin Lynn Broadway and his first wife Toni, began the season with Charlotte (the White Sox's triple-A club), going 0-2 with a 5.63ERA (10 earned runs allowed in 16 innings) before being recalled by the White Sox on April 25.
