Mets vs. D-backs Game Highlights (8/27/24) | MLB Highlights

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to chase field home base for the hottest team and sunlight. Are you the best team in all of major league baseball right now. The New York Mets are here for three playoff ramifications at every turn two wild card contenders going head to head here is right hander. Brandon F tops on the diamond back staff and innings pitch this year and Brandon is unbeaten in his last 10 starts. He's won his last three in a row over the guard Rockies and the Miami Marlins here comes the 1 to 0, swung on that is hit in the air, shallow left field and is there to make the catch. And despite not throwing a first pitch strike, it's a pretty quick first out for brandon in the top of the first. As long as he keeps that sweeper middle away, I think he doesn't get hurt with it. The one two fastball got him looking strike three called and that's the first strikeout of the night for here is the left fielder, Brandon Nimmo 32. There's a jam shot into shallow right and Carroll coming in makes the catch and that will be a 123 top of the first turned in by Brandon Sean and I is pitching the best baseball of his career. Retired the 1st 17 batters last time out against the Orioles. He's going for his 10th win and he has been pitching remarkably well as the back foot slider is out on strikes and that's the first out. And there's your little hard slider. You come to the ballpark and you look in the paper in the morning or on your computer today and it's man on the mound. You're a left hand hitter. You know, you got, you got hard work ahead and he takes a fastball for strike three called with back to back strikeouts to start his night. Lourdes Gurriel Jr Digs in toward the middle caught at second by mcneil who was playing perfectly shaded up the middle against the righty and he helped sean man up a 123 inning, no score Mets and Diamondbacks, Pete Alonso leading off against Arizona righty brandon smash in the air to right and deep carroll going back to the wall. It's Pete Alonso gives the Mets the early lead. His 220th career home run tying him with mike Piazza for third on the Mets all time list. The Mets lead 1 to 0. Here's Tyrone Taylor one on one out. Herrera sets up inside and he's a comebacker. Waits, goes to second and into center field. Racing for third is Martinez and he will make it safely. There looked like a good throw from fought but Newman perhaps trying to rush to turn two, had to clank off his glove 1st and 3rd with one out for Jeff mcneil chance to get a run home from third one and one to mcneil. Jeff pulls one down to first a chance for two to second for one relay by not in time when the comes home and it's 2 to 0. New York good hustle by mcneil getting down the line, he gets the RB I check. Swing. Did he go? Yeah, he did on appeal. Alvarez strikes out. The inning is over. Josh Bell leads off the home half against Sean man and Bell punches it the other way for the first diamond back hit second that keeps Bell at first base with two outs. Now, Corbin Carroll last year's national league rookie of the year three, two pitch. Bell goes swing and a Miss man against Carroll to chase twice including a fastball on the outside corner for strike three and Nemo against Brandon Fod who gave up a home run to Pete Alonso and Then an unearned run swung on, slammed in the gap to left center field on the run is gurriel back to the warning track. He reaches up, it's over his head and it one hops the wall lins to second. He takes a big turn there as Perdomo takes the cut off throws on the brakes with a stand up leadoff double to start the third inning, a double for 3/100 of his career history. Two swing and a miss excellent, nice sweeper again. That was his, a sweeper. Had a lot of the middle part of the plate. Got an open base. Now with Alonso, you don't have to come in and give him anything good to hit, swung on, popped up in play down the right field line and it is carroll underneath it to make the catch and a nice job by F strand that runner at third as we go to the bottom of the third, Kevin Newman leads off in the home third against Shan Mana swing and a miss and Mana gets him with a sweeper the first out in the home third four strikeouts through the first eight banners for Mana and he blows away Herrera. He's got three straight strikeouts. Five K's first time through the batting order. I would try to stack my lineup against man with right handers breaking ball is a strike three called. Got him on the outside corner. Sean man strikes out the side in the third inning. Martinez walked and scored in the second. Goes after that one. They double up and Brandon gets his fourth strikeout there is that famous sweeper. 2 to 2 is strike three called and that'll do it. Simon backs can't get anything going against Manu. He goes payoff pitch is swung on and popped up playable in right field for Jesse Winker who is underneath it. He makes the catch for the final out in the fourth inning. So man works around the two out catcher's interference. Mcneil drove in the second New York run with a fielder's choice his first time and he whacks this one to the gap in left center field, Gourriel won't get there mcneil easily to second base with a leadoff AA runner at second base and nobody out for Alvarez batting right handed line over bell at first dunk in to write a base hit mcneil getting waved around to the plate. Carroll up with a throw to home plate. Not in time. Mcneil sprints home to score on an opposite field. RB I single by Francisco Alvarez to make it 30 Mets Landor has his second hit. The Mets with nobody out have 1st and 3rd on three straight hits against Brandon fought in his fifth inning 1st and 3rd. Nobody out the batter in the field that will bring in Alvarez right underneath Perdomo. 4 to 0. New York Winker stands in aces loaded one out and he gets a breaking ball and flies it out to left that will get a run in at least to go back to get it come home easily. Sacrifice fly for Jesse Winker makes it 5 to 0. New York rough night for Brandon five to zero. New York Martinez at first. Nimmo at second and Vientos at third, Jordan Montgomery. Now a reliever facing Tyrone Taylor, he misses his first curveball. He did, he hit him, got him in the foot. Jimenez looking around for help. Carlos says of course, we're going to challenge that. He was definitely hit it hit, looking at that's going to force in a run and make it six to the batter was hit by the pitch. He will get first base mcneil began this inning with a double to left center bases loaded two outs and mcneil lays off ball four and that forces in another run 7 to 0. New York Montgomery comes in and throws kerosene on the fire. So now Alvarez the 11th man up in the inning and he chops one to Perdomo. Another can't handle this one either throw back to third and back safely. Is Taylor 8 to 0. New York six allows a run to score. Diamondbacks have fallen apart in the fifth inning. The question is how deep can he get into this game? He's gone seven innings, four of his last five starts. He's pounding the strike zone and he gets the breaking ball to strike out Suarez for the first out, the 2 to 2 to carroll on the outside corner. He got another one carroll down looking at 93 back to back punch outs here for man, here's kevin Newman for the Diamondbacks for his pitch swinging, he clobbers one in the air to left Nimmo going back to the track makes the catch on the run stops right in front of the outfield fence has an easy breezy, beautiful bottom of the fifth, sixth inning. Sean Man is the largest one hit over the first five and he struck out nine K's now for Sean Man two times through the batting order. Bases clear two outs infield back the 12 swing and a miss another strikeout. Sean man has fan 10 tonight. Junior zero for two leads off the seventh against sean Vanaya who has worked six scoreless innings of one hit. Baseballs backs up Nimmo still backing up to the wall and it's gone. That's just their second hit and it gets him on the board for gurriel. That's his 16th 2 to 2. Strike three called. Got him looking that strike out number 11 for Sean man, two out and now it's Corbin Carroll who's gone down on strikes twice an 81 lead. It's a fly ball deep to right center that's going, it's going , it's gone second home run in the inning against sean 437 ft. Corvin Carroll's 15th of the year. Sean tonight is going to have to settle for six and two thirds and the D backs making some noise here in the seventh inning. They've got two on and here comes perdomo swinging a pop up. Lindor called off by Viento there. He makes the catch, he allows a pair of singles but he strands them luis Guillorme who began the year with the Angels, wound up with the Braves and now with the Diamondbacks floated down the left field line and grabbed by Nimmo and that's how this ballgame ends, flies out to end the game. And the Mets have taken the opening game of the series in Arizona.
