Mets vs. D-backs Game Highlights (8/28/24) | MLB Highlights

Left hander Eduardo Rodriguez get things turned around. Diamondbacks have won all three of Iran's start since he came back after missing four months that you mentioned his last start down in Miami went five and a third gave up one run on six hits in that ballgame and notice the walk total, four walks in 16 innings of work. And by my estimation, two of those were pitch around right up the middle for perdomo had a bumpy ride last night. Nice and clean there. There's one away that is swung on hit well to center and mccarthy moving back at the track and just shy of the center field wall, he'll make the catch. It can feel like a cavern out there. A lot of balls get lost in center. But if you're a pitcher, you love to see it. And for Rodriguez two down for Marte, there's that cutter into the right hander, a strikeout on a 1 to 2 to 3 1st Diamondbacks coming up against luis Severino. The right hander Luis Severino who has shown signs of his previous effective form from his Yankees days and this is his first season across town with the Mets 1 to 2 coming to Carroll and he hits one to the gap in right center closing and he gets there to retire. Carroll one out swing and a miss , he got him with a changeup. Severino who's had trouble with that changeup this year gets a strikeout with it for the second out and he comes right back with a high fastball to strike out Peterson back to back cases for Severino to finish off a 123, 3 to 1 bounces it to second. There is the former Met Luis or for the Garfield draft and Rodriguez down the first four and here comes Alonso earlier this year hard to third and Geno is there right on the corner. Got him just painted a slider. Two strikeouts. He set that all six still no score chase 22 bell cut and misses another strikeout for Severino. That's now three strikeouts in a row and here's Lourdes Gurriel J R. There's ball four, another patient at bat for lourdes and there's a wild baserunner base hit to right field for this kid. Looks like he's played up here for five years, talk about it all the time. Just the passive look on his face, no stress, no pressure, no anything. Just see the ball and hit the ball into a good hitter's count two to zero and Suarez chases for strike three, got him with a cutter Severino with his fourth strikeout two out of the inning. Bottom of the second two on for Arizona. Here's Luis Guillorme facing the Mets on the move and it squirts through the left. Here comes Luis makes it 1 to 0 diamond right there against his old club drives in the first run of the night and it is 1 to 0. Arizona again, the 3 to 2 and be goes down swinging and that retires aside, nasty slider by Severino to get him. Rodriguez have to say he looked very good in the early going as the one swung on and a little pop up out to left as gel comes in and makes the catch for the out and strike three called a long time as he swings, rolls it over to third and Suarez Gloves throws to be at first in time, the Mets must win to stay three games behind the Braves if we said that this week back to Severino. Nice snag and he gets Carol. He is feeling the effects of that one and is now limping behind the mound each step becoming more and more exaggerated. That ball got him right in the lower body, maybe the shin area , possibly the knee and he kind of stopped it and was very fortunate that ball bounced up to him and got the out right leg. It got him like you said, around the shin or knee and now he's feeling it. I think he's kind of thinking what we're thinking, which is you don't look comfortable. Luis Luis is not and given them enough signs that he wants to stay in the game. So Mendoza and go back to the first base dugout mccarthy with a base hit to right shakes aboard with the third. Here's Jock Peterson who struck out his first time. Take your time to touch of all. Jock Peterson, a two run homer, his 21st and the D backs lead it three to zero. You have to wonder whether getting hit on the foot has hampered Severino at all. Flipping guys up and back and forth from Reno. Everything has worked, figuring something out with. Bell's got that one and Rodriguez has retired the 1st 10 Mets he's faced and now we got to roll over to third for Geno Miller perfectly positioned to make the call. Three, two, swung on and missed. He struck him out with a changeup. 12 in a row sent down by the lefty brings up Corone for two and a little help with the padre loss. Corbin sends one away out to center. He's got enough 440 ft for Corin Carroll. That's his 16th. He has homer now five times in his last 11 games outside ball four and the Mets have their first baserunner of the night. Ad Martinez, the DH struck out to win the second that's driven to right center field by Martinez back in the gap goes mccarthur, it is off the wall and in play, Nimmo will score. Martinez pulls in at second with an RB I double. The Mets have their 1st 10 of the night and their first run as well. It's now 4 to 1. Catcher Francisco Alvarez and he hits it right back up the middle for a base hit and that will bring in Martinez and the Mets have cut the Diamondbacks lead in half. It's now four to Rodriguez was in total command through four but he's not quite as sharp here in the fifth inning. Here's Bader. Bader drives one to the left that will tie the game. Harrison Bader hits one into the seats in left field. A two run shot and the Mets have scored four times in the fifth inning to even this game 4 to 4 and with a runner at third and one out, Pete Alonso at the plate, he drives one out to left tagging at third. Marte grabbing it as to. Here comes Marte. Here comes the throw is going in head first and Del Castillo appeared to miss the tag and the Mets take the lead a perfect throw by Gourriel on one hop to the plate but Marte able to beat the tag with a head first slide and the Mets lead 5 to 4. You have got to catch that ball and cover the bag. Give him a few years, he'll get rid of that. He gets rid of Alvarez nicely. Second strike out for kevin and there's two outs in the seventh. Josh Bell's got it. Boy, all that work that Tony Persica has done with josh Bell is really paying off. He's played a nice first base J A 12, 3/7. That's 54 New York and he pulls one great stop by Alonso for the first out. That would have been a double if it gets by Pete with mccarthy's speed. Maybe a triple, possibly a triple that he struck him out 98 mile an hour fastball up in the zone. That's rifle down the left field line by Marte. And that's going to go into the corner for extra bases and rattles around for Gurriel and Marte pulls into second base with a two out double. So after his bunt single in the sixth, Marte adds a double in the eighth shortstop perdomo got a hustle gets up the line. Thompson puts a zero on the board and Diaz coming off giving up the game winning home run to Jackson Meri Sunday in San Diego. His save chances have been few and far between but he gets a four out save chance tonight. They're loaded three walks in the inning and here comes Corvin Carroll with a very small strike zone, not going to be trying to draw walker hits it. It's a fly ball to right field and it's gone. He did it again. Corbin Carroll is back and it's 8 to 5 after the Mets sell it all the way back to take the lead. Edwin Diaz for a second straight appearance, gives up a crushing home run. No man's got it. Diamondbacks win it, win number 76 on the year and they do it again in dramatic fashion as the Mets, apparently without the services of Daniel Nunez tonight. It was a tough one to the Diamondbacks to even up this series at a game of.
