Mets vs. White Sox Game Highlights (8/31/24) | MLB Highlights

the Frank Thomas bobblehead all the fans were excited today they just idolized Frank I mean he's one of the more popular players in the history of this franchise look how enormous Frank is standing next to Lindor the great Frank Thomas impossible to pitch to had a grasp of the strike zone like no other big man I've ever seen for Davis Martin it is a new and improved version of himself he's picked up that cutter he's picked up a change up even a few more miles per hour to his fast ball he's looked good so far we heard him talk yesterday he was ecstatic about what was going on and hopefully more the same today this is a tough Mets lineup a lineup that has a lot of home runs got him looking on a fast ball so Lindor called out on strikes that'll bring up nmo swinging a Miss there as Martin has fanned the first two to start the ball game and bentos Pops one up into shallow Center and that'll drop in for a base hit that's a little dunker in between Sosa and Robert and the Mets have a two out base runner so man at first with two outs and it'll bring up the power for Pete Alonzo and he hits one in the air to deep left field back goes Ben aend he takes a look and it's out of here pet Alonzo with his first ever home run against the Chicago White Socks the only team other than the Mets he had never homered against first pitch hits it out of the yard two-run shot is 30th of the year and the Mets take an early two nothing lead Winker had a big night last night he got three hits and Winker drives one out to Right Center back in the Gap goes Robert near the walls out of here backto back home runs for Alonzo and winaker and it's three nothing New York 13th home run of the year for Winker his second as a met he is red hot right now and the Mets with a long ball in the first inning Alonzo and wicker backto back three nothing strike three call as Martin strikes out three in the first but it gives up two home runs as Jose kintana tries to put another good effort on the board after after shutting out San Diego for six and a third Jose canana spent his first six seasons in Chicago with the white socks and jol hits one to first stand snagged out of the air by Alonzo before it hit the ground Robert muscles one out to Center but Nimo circles over to get itana got that ball in enough and Robert flies out for the second out 3-2 pitch and that one is lined past the diving mcneel at second base so Ben and tendy with a two- out single and that's a away ball four so after two out and nobody on the white socks get a single from Ben and tendy and now a walk to vaugh and he got him looking another fast ball in the outer half and canana gets out of first inning trouble see now those are good bags yes they're showing just eyes I mean that's a serious bag over the head Southside sadness exemplars yes they they took it serious Cory Lee despite the broken bat able to send it in right field they start off this bottom of the second with a single lindoro was left can't make the play and it's in the left center field Lee will go to Third and the White Sox have Runners at the corners marus has seen canana before hitting a robust 400 in a very small sample size another broken bat backing up Lindor gets one at second and the run will score it's an RBI fielders choice for Vargas and it's 3 to one on the outside corner down him looking and jol's not happy about it but katana's got his second strike out in the second out of the inning and the curveball gets away from Alvarez and the runners will move up off the onew and he got him with a change up kintana with backto back strikeouts to get himself out of further trouble in the second 3-1 New York Lor struck out on three pitches his first time up any he muscles one at the left field that's going to be down for a base hit so on an 02 fast ball Lindor takes one the other way and he now stretches his on base streak to 29 games 3-2 nobody out Lindor does not run and it's ball for a Nemo his 70th Walk Of The Year third in the National League so after the Mets got the first two men on here in the third now in danger of leaving them stranded Jesse Winker coming up Winker followed up Alonzo's home run with one of his own a muscle shot shallow right and it's going to drop in for a base hit Lor will come in to score Wier dumps a single and right and drives in another run it's 4 to one New York Andrew bendi with his second hit tonight continues his strong play at the plate to start this bottom of the third that goes off the glove of Alvarez and benen to second on the pass ball sheets caught looking in the first inning broken B Gavin sheets deposits that one in the right field Ben and tendi will come in RBI single for my man Gavin sheets and the socks now down by two here in the third and he struck him out with a change up so every time kintana has needed a big out he's gotten it in there for a call strike three so back-to- back strikeouts for canana to finish off the third an unearned Run for the White Sox is now 4-2 Katana has struck out five ball four so he's on to start the fourth third straight inning White Sox have have the lead off man on curveball hit the second should be two mcneel with a flip Lindor with a turn 463 two men down strike three called six strikeouts for Kitana for two Mets after four Robert HS a hard one hopper and it gets past bentos and into left guessing that'll be a base hit and he pops one up a mile high along the right field line Marte can't see it mcneel trying to help but Marte finds it and makes the catch sheats chops one for Lindor has to wait on the Hop and the throw to first just in time to get sheets that retires the side let's get canana through the fifth inning a new pitcher in the game it is Gus varlin who comes on in place of Davis Martin who went five and it's lined up the middle of base hit so Alonzo's got his second hit of the night and in the MS of a leadoff base runner in the sixth that's smacked in right field and Waker got his third hit of the night Alonzo pulls in at second so Jesse Winker three for three now has eight hits in his last 11 at bats backto back singles from Alonzo and Winker have set the table Marte batting that's line in the center field a base hit for Marte Alonzo to third he's going to be waved home and the throw comes in to second base Starling Marte rips a base hit to drive it a run and the Mets have a little more breathing room it's now 5 to2 raban comes on the pitch well this young man's got a load of talent and he's got a big arm his only issue is throwing strikes that's smacked to left field overcomes nmo diving and he Mak the catch oh wow Brandon nmo a tremendous diving backand catch two men down oh man was that scary out there it's just Sensational grab but that wrist got rolled over on and Brandon appears to be okay but you know that does not feel good and a ground ball toward the hole on the backand Lindor the long throw high and Alonzo stayed on the back side retired beautifully done on both ends Lindor with that ball crawling up his arm stayed with it and Alonzo going up in the air to grab that high throw Phil mateon to pitch for the fourth time in the last 5 days 92 at bats against maton last 92 at bats only 13 hits allow line to right field Taylor over a couple of steps makes the Hat High catch and there's one away mton ahead one and two on sheets and he lines one right to Alonzo two line drives two outs and Lee first pitch swinging flies one out to Taylor and that retires as side one two three for maton in the bottom of the eighth last of the ninth in Chicago 5-2 New York Jose B biding for his third save lenine Soso was robbed of an extra base hit by nmo his last time and he flies the first pitch out to Taylor and right and Tyrone makes the grab Tyrone came out for defense in the sixth and he's been busy that's already 1 two 3 four five six put outs he's had of 10 outs since he's been on the field and he straightens this one out and he'll go into that corner and left field G Vargas with his first hit coming here in the ninth and Amaya comes through his first hit in a socks uniform and a big spot here with one out in the bottom of the ninth guys who aren't used to closing it's a very tough job and now it brings a tying run to the plate with Runners at the corners got it slowly to third they get one at second and the run will score as jokes is safe at first it's now a 53 ball game leis Robert Jr pass the of glendor and the socks not done yet and now the tying runs are on base Ben and tendi is coming up thought for sure that this would be the spot for young but they're going to stick with B round ball back to B and that'll do it the ball game is over bro bends but does not break in the nin the MS have their first three-game winning streak since July
