Mets vs. D-backs Game Highlights (8/29/24) | MLB Highlights

one of the best pitchers in the game right now pitching match up the pair of college teammates for a year back in Oregon powerful matchup here today Ryan's going for his 10th win Peterson he's already a one it would be a really cool game for both these guys to match up against each other for the first time in the big leagu and both of them again are throwing incredibly good right now and the Diamond Backs today have a chance to get to 20 games over 500 and they will hand the baseball to Ryan Nelson he's been their best starting pitcher throughout the summer unbeaten over the last two months and if Ryan follows the formula that's been working so well for him lately you're going to see a lot of high four seam fast ball mid to Upper 90s complement that with a cutter inside on the lefties away from the righties he has been tremendous Francisco Lindor digs in switch hitter batting left got him caught him looking at a fast ball strike out number one for Ryan Nelson another fast ball just was well located outside edge Herrera gives him the target Marte since he's been back from that knee injury remember that Series in Chicago is where that thing kind of came to a head that was the end of June this is game eight back from injury so far he's looked really good and Marte swings hits a comebacker right back to Nelson who gloves and an underhand flip to Bell at the bag in time for out number two no scored top of the first first pitch to Brandon nmo first pitch Line to Center McCarthy's got it good start for Ryan Nelson that's we're planning to give Peterson an extra day of rest and start him tomorrow night in Chicago but the injury to Paul Blackburn who would have been scheduled to pitch today moved up Peterson start so he's pitching on really less than four days rest because it's a day game today Pomo back in the leadoff position chop toward third IG glacius goes back to get it the throw to first on a couple of hops gets to Alonzo in time and perdomo's retired one down here is Randle gritch and the first offering from Peterson swung on there's a ground ball base hit through the six hole well this is a guy who does not give up a lot of home runs and he's pitching against the team that seems to be hitting a ton of them so they're really at a disadvantage guel throws the bat at it here comes Marte he runs it down for the second out we've seen florus do that quite a bit lately gring at first here's Josh Bell three for seven in this series and a pickoff try and Peterson almost got him gotten 13 of them in his career he came close to another one Mets are challenging the call and saying that he didn't get his hand back challenging the safe call at first base was here is the pickoff again again Peterson's so good at this the result of the challenge I think he might have got him he might have got him after review of the call in the field is over the runner is out New York will retain their challenge so Peterson picks off his second of the Year 14th of his career and that's how the bottom of the first ends top of the second inning at Chase Field Manson Diamondback scoreless pet Alonzo leads off for New York against Diamond Back starter Ryan Nelson High Fly ball de deep center field McCarthy back to the warning track at the wall and it's out of here Pete Alonzo puts the Mets in front a booming shot to center field his 29th of the year and it's one- nothing New York his third home run in sixth career at bats against Ryan Nelson and with that passes Mike Patza on the Mets alltime home run list is 221st he now Trails only David Wright and Daryl strawberry Bell holds it first with the lead off base hit on basee ahead of Jake McCarthy left on left here for Jake double play ball from McCarthy got to hurry against his speed Lor to First not in time very close play at first base Jake McCarthy can flat out fly oh they got him and the Mets are going to challenge the call Y it's a DP so the Mets have already won a challenge at first base Malachi Moore having himself a rough first couple of innings after review of the call in the field is overturned the runner is out New York will retain their challenge that was a one and Suarez doesn't Chase works the two out walk and here comes Corbin as a good slider by Peterson to strike him out helps the Mets out here no runs ahead a walk but just one left mcneel just serves one the other way that'll be a leadoff single and for the Mets their third hit against the diamond back right-hander here is the former Padre catcher Luis teren bouncing into a potential double play shovel toss for Newman and they turn two second double play turned behind Ryan Nelson today and Newman got it started and there's two away as the order flips for Francisco Lindor swing in a Miss Nelson Strikes Out Lindor and the inning is over despite giving up the base hit he get the double play Nelson faces the minimum in the third and we go to the bottom of the inning and Pomo draws another walk and that will extend the inning for Randall gritch gritch with a base hit his first time up and Randall gets it in the air pretty deep right side of this balls carrying and it's clanged off the wall and over the wall for a home run grck the other way and it's two one diamond back he got a two seamer but it was up in the zone and instead of trying to pull the ball he went with the pitch and he got a little backs spin on it and that's all it took with the power that gritch has and he drives it out of here and the Mets with a one out single 102 mph off the bat and now here is Pete Alonzo Nemo at first Nelson has been great at control in the running game but Nemo takes off early and steals the base standing up we took a chance that is only the second stolen base attempt against Ryan Nelson this year swinging a Miss fast ball top corner and Nelson what a way to get some Revenge than to strike him out next time up strike three called got him looking backto back strikeouts he's got four Lindor has struck out twice against Ryan Nelson in the lead off spot and he leads off the New York sixth door will stay in the atat and make Nelson at work as he starts his third time through the order pitch number 10 coming to Lindor and he bounces one foul they'll do it one more time that's drill to deep right field and that'll tie up the game Francisco Lindor got a change up that time and hit it out of the Yards and tie it up it's two to two number 28 for Lindor quite a battle right there terrific bat 11 pitch at bat and Lindor wins the battle the Met's second home run of the day to get even to the sixth extends his on base streak to 27 games the longest for a minut in 5 years the lead off man aboard for glacius slowly to third charged by Gino and they're able to get one as Martinez moves into second and with that here comes to lello SO pitching change going to be made Nelson Has pitched very well here this afternoon but it will be up to that Diamond
