is aboard that's the first met to reach a one out walk for Jeff here in the bottom of the third inning Francisco Lindor that's president of baseball operations David Sterns today said might be having the best year any Mets position player has ever had what is the most valuable player look like I think he looks like the guy who runs out the short stop every day for us at 7:00 and Lor gets one in the air to right field O'Neal back near the wall it's out of here Francisco Lindor strikes again his 30th home run of the season the fifth time in lindor's career he's reached 30 home runs he continues his MVP charge and he gives the Nets a two nothing late in the third only one short stop has had more than 30 home run seasons in major league history that Francisco Lindor that was Alex Rodriguez who did it seven times as a primary Short Stop Now Lindor with 530 home run seasons and he's hearing the MVP chance on a daily basis do nothing Mets cutter Crawford continues on the mound in the fourth inning Mark Vientos to leet it off two nothing Mets cutter has fans six so far his onew pitch and a dribbler cutter Crawford to beand off balance throw my goodness what a f play that was his momentum carrying him away from the play and he was still able to get enough on it to get the out little fade away to Roman Gonzalez at first for the out that was unbelievable two nothing Met's bottom of the fourth Alonzo then Winker here against cutter Crawford SW on and missed he got him Alonzo's gone a cutter from cutter two down on Crawford's seventh strikeout high fly in left field shallow long run for ref Snider sliding catch made what a grab by Rob and it ends the bottom of this fourth inning Crawford is cruising along but the offense needs to do its share two nothing Mets after four yoshid is on second with the lead he's going to bring up Raphael who struck out back in the second inning Raphael a down on strikes and that's a season High nine strike outs for David Peterson one shy of his career high Aid at second with two out Nick sard struck out his first time up one two and a Fly ball in the center field very shallow charging in at Nemo that's going to drop down for a hit that's going to score a run here comes masataka in the Red Sox get on the scoreboard on an infield single and a bloop single to center field look runs aren't coming very easy here lately you'll take them any way you can get them doesn't matter how you get them you just got to get them and they have it been lately so you will absolutely take it and a couple of two out hints now with a run in and the Red Sox have the tying man at second the goahead man at first and jiren Duran he of the 21 home run Duran is on his way to the plate Peterson has already struck out nine which is the most ever for a med pitcher on his birthday swung on and fouled into the mid Alvarez strike three that retires the side 10 strikeouts for David Peterson and he holds the lead here in the fifth inning Red Sox score a run on three hits they leave two middle of the fifth inning the Mets two the Red Sox one and so the Red Soxs get the lead off man on in the sixth against David Peterson de looking for his first hit in this series six hits in his last 45 at bats two and two with nobody out struck him out a career high 11 strikeouts for David Peterson on his birthday Peterson so far with a two to one lead very much enjoying his 29th birthday and Danny Jansen who's one for two bats against Peterson that'ss leading 2 to one O'Neal's the tying run at third Yoshida the goahead run it first for the 1-1 pitch swing and a Fly ball to right not deep right at Marte makes the oneand catch side reti he gets out of this one and in the middle of the sixth inning it's the Mets two the Red Sox one as SL comes out of the bullpen on in relief of cutter Crawford who went six he allowed one hit that was the home run but one hit he struck out eight Mark Vientos leads off against the new pitcher Justin sleep and the breaking ball hit deep to Center back goes to ran near the wall it's out of here Mark Theos with his 22nd home run of the year he got all over that slider and hit it a mile three to one New York Mark Vientos with his 22nd home run of the year that is another big swing by Mark Vientos having a career year also are the type of September swings the Mets need Peterson tonight six Innings one run six hits one walk and 11 strikeouts a career high so it's got to be 11 candles on that cake and B has pitched himself into some steamy hot water here in the eighth inning backto back walks the tying runs are on Raphael Des represents the potential goahead run at the plate and it looks like Carlos Mendoza is going to make a pitching change with Reed Garrett throwing in the Mets Bullpen 's had his chances in this series he sure has he's been the guy up that can get the big hit and hasn't delivered bounding ball softly hit right near the bag here's the throw on to First he's not going to get anybody Lindor thought about second then first too late and the Red Sox are going to load the bases on a little Chopper on the infield Lindor didn't get anybody and not very often you see a Mis play like this by Francisco Lindor gold Glover he's won a platinum glove big break for the Red Sox can they make them pay and here is and Manuel Valdez hitting for Romy Gonzalez and the 0 one swinging a highfly ball but not deep to right McNeil coming in Duran back to tag he's going to try and score and will as the throw comes into second never even thought about throwing to the plate and it's a 3-2 game and Valdez will pick up the RBI and a sack fly Runners at first and second and and masatake Yoshida will climb in he has an infield hit he's gone one for three and he hits one on the ground and glacius with the flip Lor with a turn in time double play side retired glaus was able to make a quick shovel to Second and the Mets get out of the inning with the lead middle of the eighth inning the Mets three the Red Sox two and now the Mets are open for business here with Runners at first and second and nobody out against Chris Martin and Francisco Lindor coming up now a chance for Lindor to put another mark on this game they a two- on Homer in the third to give the meds the lead they've been ahead ever since Lindor jumps the first one hits it out to left back goes a bro it's over his head and short hops the wall into scores mcneel Alvarez to third Lindor pulls in at second with an RBI double he's the machine that just keeps on turning second extra base into the night third RBI of the night 4 to2 New York boy he just ke keeps on doing it the king 68 extra base hits 84 runs batted in David Sterns looking more pressing by the moment infield in one and one to nmo 0 for three tonight and he Loops one into shallow right coming on quickly as O'Neal to make the diving catch tagging as Alvarez he'll come home to score to make it 5-2 so Nemo didn't hit it far but forced O'Neal to dive for it which allowed Alvarez to for easily on the sack fly now Pete Alonzo had a base hit his last time up to snap an 0 for 11 stretch and Pete hits one deep to center field back goes Duran to the warning track at the wall it's out of here ponzo puts the hammer down number 31 for Pete 7-2 New York the Mets salted away with four in the bottom of the eighth Alonzo putting the icing on the cake Alonzo swung at this pitch and held the bat in his hand took a couple steps over home plate to the other batters box up the line he knew he got it as soon as he struck it so it's a four run bottom of the eighth inning for the Mets the Mets break it open or so it would appear there were four runs on four hits the Mets seven the Red Sox two so the Red Sox down to their last out the Mets just an out of way and here is Tristan Cassis pitch to Kus in there strike three called he got him with a split put it in the books the New York Mets have won six in a row they have taken the first two of this three-game series from the Boston Red Sox David Peterson on his 29th birthday picks up his ninth win against one loss and Ryan stanik closes it out with a 1 two3 ninth inning nothing across the final score the New York Met seven and the Boston Red Sox two h
