Mets vs. White Sox Game Highlights (9/1/24) | MLB Highlights

It's been a pleasure to watch Garrett Crochet all season. And even though he only threw four pitches in his last start, the key for him and the White Sox that he stays in the rotation. And when they started this experiment, this is where he wanted to be getting starts in September, he got there at 99 gets to start this ballgame. He wanted to go down and in, he tried at the last pitch, he did it effectively this pitch about this two strikeouts to start the ball game for Crochet. 12 pitch got him swinging cro three up, three down. This is our all star over his last six starts, 4 to 1 with a 2.87 last 12 starts. Similar numbers. He has evolved as the season has gone along in terms of his pitching style and in terms of his dominance, he gets jolts to chase a fastball. And there's been a lot of that lately, riding fastballs from the lower arm angle and he gets the swinging cranks this one to left field waiting for it is Tyrone Taylor and that's the second out. He flies one out to right and Marte has it lined up and that retires the side inning for man , took eight pitches no score after one was the Garrett Crochet clinic there in the first inning. Struck out the side got through Iglesias and a swing strike three on a fastball location was the winner. Everything had been middle in that was away and up five strikeouts to start the ball game. It's a fastball down, I would say close enough what a start for Crochet. Six strikeouts. Unreal home second inning, Andrew Vaughn hits the ground ball to third long throw for vents on a hop and gets to Alonso in time one away one pitch, one out for an sharply hip and right out and played perfectly, throws out sheets and another quick out for man popped up right near home plate. Ton shades the mask. Alonso calls him off and he makes the grab of the side six up and six down for man score after two. His stuff looked amazing all season, but he has taken it to another level here this afternoon. Seven strikeouts to start the ball game for Crochet when he can throw that cutter or slider any time he wants to. And this time was 3 to 2, almost unhittable. It's 91 miles an hour. It's dotting the inside corner just below the knee. This one put in play for the first time, Fargas makes the sliding stop the catcher that ends the strikeout streak for Garrett Crochet seven in a row to start the game. Towering pop fly shadow left jokes is under it and he's got it Crochet nine up nine down to open the game 15 batters in this game base runners, we go to the bottom of the third swing and a Miss and Manias got his second strikeout as he takes care of fletcher 7-Up and seven down for sean and he pulls one on the ground to Vientos who one hands it and throws him out two away 25 pitches to get the first eight outs that's in there for a call, strike three. So both pitchers have gone nine up and nine down to start the day. Fourth inning, francisco Lara leads off and flies one deep to left field back goes, jolts back to the wall. Francisco Lindor leads off the fourth inning, the first baserunner of the game and he'll circle the bases with his 29th home run of the year and it's one to zero. New York Iglesias breaks his bat rolls it slowly one handed by Sosa not in time and Iglesias beats it out for a broken bat infield hit Crocher who has been greeted rudely here in the fourth by back to back hits and now Vents has put up the middle in three straight hits. Iglesias turned second. He's going to go for third and Roberts throw will go to second. Vientos has a base hit and the Mets in business first and third. Nobody out nasty sweeper sending Alonso down to a knee eighth strikeout. This apparently is going to be the last pitches he's going to throw. Brady comes out 57 pitches. He points to the bullpen and Garrett will leave this game and Gus Varland comes on for the 14th time as er, a under two. So he inherits runners at the corners swing and a miss strike three down the middle is good, JD Martinez now with two outs bat charging hard as Fletcher and he gets there and a nice job by to get out of the jam nets lead it one to 0 10 up and 10 down for man who two starts back against Baltimore retired the 1st 17 batters before anybody reached and he flies this one out to right and he's there to make the catch a step in front of the warning track for the second out two in two down for Shaw man in the fourth and that's ball four. And so the White Sox have their first baserunner set down the 1st 11 and a pick off move works. I'm not sure if that was legal but man gets his third pick off of the year and the 17th for matt pitchers which leads all of baseball. Andrew Vaughn takes a strike as we start the fifth inning. Sean Maniah has faced the minimum so far and Vaughn pops one up back pedals calls and he puts it away one down 47 pitches for man to get through four innings caught by Alonso reached up and plucked that pearl in their two out. There's a soft line drive base hit to left in front of Winker. They're finally on the board. First hit of the ball game comes in the bottom of the fifth and a swing and a miss, he got him with a high hard one fletcher down on strikes gives up his first hit but no runs 1 to 0 after five, just one hit over five scoreless innings. Chuckie Robinson grounded out to third base. His first time up Robinson clubs one to left center field back in the gap goes Bader on the warning track to make the catch. Robinson gave it a ride but that's a long first out. It's in there for a call strike three, second time in a row that Umaya has taken a call, third strike on a 3 to 2 pitch and that one popped up playable Tonz and Alonzo and Torrens makes a nice running grab and that retires the side man threw six scoreless 1 to 0 for a statue hits his first batter to start the seventh inning and that is not the way he wanted to begin this inning with a 1 to 0 lead. Robert runs the throw by to the tag by Iglesias and he got him great throw, better tag 2 to 4, caught stealing one out. I don't know if I've seen a catcher throw as well as luis torres has been thrown two out walk and a frustrated Shamana allows a two out base runner and the inning continues for Gavin sheets to left and it's going to fall off with the pitch will end up at third base, second hit of the ball game and Winker knowing he couldn't get to it, Then has to try to block it if this gets by. It's a tie game. Jeremy. He out to the mound to talk to man who has hit a batter, walked a batter and given up a base hit here the 7th 3 to 1 coming and a high fly ball hit to left Winker barely has to move side retired. Gets a king sized out to finish off the bottom of the 7th 1 to 0. New York Garrett on to pitch the eighth inning after seven scoreless from sean man Fletcher pops one up behind third base. Vientos Rattle along the line makes the catch in foul territory one out and he struck him out. Got him with the splitter. Reid Garrett strikes out Nicky Lopez two. The bald had him played perfectly throwing on the run side. Retired. Reed Garrett works a 12, 3/8 and on to the ninth, we go with the Mets up one to 03 to one. JD watches outside ball four and the Mets have a two out base runner. Now they'll use a pinch runner for him. Like Pablo Reyes will make his Mets debut. Reyes was just called up today when the rosters expanded Martese, the batter Marte gets one of the to center field. Robert retreated to the warning track at the wall. It's off the fence. Reyes around third. He's racing for the plate. No relay throw 2 to 0. New York Marte with an RB I double Reyes races home as the pinch runner to score and it's 2 to 0. Mets Diaz worked three straight days a blown save on Wednesday, a save on Thursday and pitched in a 4 to 1 game here on Friday, 2 to 2 to Benintendi struck him out up and away the fastball one man down in the ninth. He just has so much movement on that fastball right around. Strike three back to back strikeouts for Diaz to start the bottom of the ninth and the ball game is over. Edwin Diaz strikes out the side in the ninth and the loss today now gives the sox a 10 game losing streak and with 107 losses on the season that sets the franchise record for most losses in a single season.
