You’d never know it, but Brandon Moore didn’t have a good feel for his fastball on Sunday.That didn’t stop the 23-year-old Mets prospect from hurling the first no-hitter in Brooklyn Cyclones history, though. He gave up three walks and hit a batter while striking out six IronBirds hitters at Aberdeen’s Ripken Stadium. The Cyclones won the seven-inning doubleheader opener, 5-0.
Moore (6-2) said Sunday’s game was probably the best he’s ever thrown “because it was a no-hitter,” but added it was far from the easiest. “My fastball command wasn’t really on. So it wasn’t really my best in that way,” he said. “It was something I had to focus on. I worked through it, though.”
