Red Sox vs. Mets Game Highlights (9/2/24) | MLB Highlights

I think I can get off the I list with about five five games left in the season give or take games um I think what I can do is try to get back on that date or as soon as close to that day as possible me where we are in the season realistically am I going to be able to throw five six Innings as a starter probably not uh whether they use me as a starter or in the bullpen um that's up to them I just want to be ready to throw as many innings as possible clest I just need to get to that point and to be able to throw at 100% And contribute to the team the Mets are beginning what could be a September to remember in the midst of a pennant race and playing a Red Sox team that is also trying to fight uphill for a postseason birth emerging from the smoke fi room Luis srino but Luis saverino in his career 34 career games in September 13 and four with a 275 over 10 triples over 40 doubles he pops one up eaus into foul ground makes the grab that's ripped right to mcneel for the second out two to O'Neal and he struck him out up and in from saino and he's got himself a one two three opening Inning on just eight pitches as the Mets go up against 25-year-old Brian beo pitch the best game of his career career last time out a three nothing gem Francisco Lindor riding a career-high 30 game on base streak into play tonight and he hits Lindor in the leg and Lindor is aboard to start the bottom of the first so that extends Lindor is on base streak to 31 straight games and sucked into left field to drive back O'Neal still backing up but with room to make the play and he'll rattle that one softly toward Third Des to charge scoop fire this scoop got him and a two- two and that is going to be in there for strike three he froze him his first K tonight one man left glacius Jeff mcneel and Starling Marte to follow in the home second and acius pokes one at a right center for the Met's first hit of the night so down on the count 0 and two took the breaking ball to right center and acius is on to start the second that's pulled off the glove of kasus and then right field eligius will go to third it's charged by a brid and the Mets have Runners at the corners Mets trying to strike early in this one charling Marte with the first RBI chance Red Sox will play their infield back for a double play he'll trade a run for two outs hits one off the mound it goes right to the second basem valz raphaela turns the double play and the Mets going to run the Mets take a one to nothing lead 32 and rip nice play Here by Valdez the scoop and gets him at first base made a couple of nice plays in that inning and the Mets Take the Lead one to nothing one down in the third for S on raphaela want to get rafhaela going again shot into Center nmo ding can't get it that's going to get by him it keeps on rolling up against the wall sidon rounding second he goes into third and stops there losing a helmet nmo tried to make a sensational play with the Red Sox benefit he winds up just 90 ft from the plate Duran one guy who has been swing in at 349 Hot Shot base hit that'll drive in a run raphaela will score Durant wants second here's the throw to tag and he is out well great job driving in the Run well he saw an opening there and he is cut down at second base man the payoff pitch up the middle sharply backhanded Valdez throws skips it and another outstanding play my he is flashing the leather today that's three plays he's made there Lindor and he lines one at the right field that's going to fall for a base hit he's been on in 31 straight but now the hitting streak is at 13 games a Mets have runner at first base with one out center fielder Brandon nmo steps to the plate nmo the end the back to Center and might have fool Durant and it gets over his head Lindor races for 30s being waved around the relay throw by Valdez to the plate not in time and the Mets regain the lead after Nimo couldn't catch rafaela's drive to center field that went for a triple he beats Durant over his head with a double to drive in the lead run and it's two to one New York Alonzo four pitch walk and now he's a board so this turning into a rough inning for beo and they're on it first and second for Winker Fly ball into left center field for Durant Runners will not move they will hold that first and second and two gone and a swing and a miss down he goes He fans him and he gets out of it Marte hit in to a double play first time back toward him beand nice play throws high and got him at first base what a play just play by beo doesn't even need a glove short hop bare hand oh we talked a lot about the Red Sox defense and how bad it's been but they've made some spectacular plays in the first four Innings of this game so the Mets have a two out single from DJ Stewart that'ss have a two- out base runner now Lis Tren that's flyed along the left field line a long run for O'Neal and he's not going to get there at lands for a hit here's Stewart to 30 he's going to be waved home by Mike sarbaugh the relay throw to the plate not in time DJ Stewart scores from first the issue is not that O'Neal couldn't get to this ball it's that he's not able to field it cleanly door's already been on base twice Lindor drives one at the right center for a base hit and that will Chase home toen an RBI single for Lindor to make it four to one door as he continues to hear MVP chance the Mets are cashing in the Red Sox mistakes all this after two out and nobody on beo made that great defensive play but after that he's given up three straight hits and a couple of runs Luis srino looking sharp after getting hit in the foot in his last start he's got a three-run lead now rounded down to First and a fair ball beautiful sliding stop Alonzo and he hit saino for the out gorgeous play by Pete Alonzo and he hits seino on the move the mens playing some Big Time defense in the fifth what the Red Sox have not done defensively in this game the Mets certainly have and two down knocks that one into the left field charging on it and knocking it down Stewart he can't haul it in it'll be a base hit for Willer you sure can into left center field that's going to drop down for a hit up to Second stopping there Bru as the throw comes in behind him well here's DES in a big spot sixth inning 4 to one New York srino with the out that he needs to get he flies it to Center and right there is Nimo he has the dive though and he makes the catch and that retires the side that's have been getting great starting pitching and more importantly great length from their starting pitching lately trying to get seven out of srino tonight Fly ball right field wind's going to grab it Marte though has room and makes the catch side retired Rock Solid seven innings for Luis s Ino tonight he tips his hat to the appreciative fans two out nobody on and 3-2 will be Ball Four got him and it hit him so after young struck out the first two hitters he walks Gonzalez he hits O'Neal and now Rafael De will come up as the tying run in the eighth inning this is the key at bat of the game for the Boston Red Sox and he chops one to the right side mcneel comes in gets the throw away in time retired rafy just not himself at all B maton will bit for his first save as a met that's trying for their fifth straight win tonight and time running out on the Red Sox here hey struck him out and the ball game is over that was a lackluster performance by the Red Sox again and the Mets keep rolling that's now just a half game out of the third wild card
