Marlins vs. Mets Game Highlights (8/17/24) | MLB Highlights

Severino trying to turn it back around in the right direction. 24 starts. He's the call every fifth day and had the terrific first half as we mentioned and he's looking to right the ship and keep the Mets charging to postseason. Severino's first pitch out to right center field back in the gap goes Winker on the move and he makes the catch, he pops one up and foul ground Alvarez hoping for Rome and he's two out. Severino retired the first two quickly and a swing and a foul tip held by Alvarez. Severino has got a strikeout to cap off a 1 to 2 to 3 1st as we get a look at Max Meyer's eighth start this season, a win against the Padres Sunday afternoon, longest outing of his career six and one third innings. Francisco Lindor riding a 10 game hitting streak steps in that's driven out to right center field back. Sanchez takes a look at francisco with a leadoff home run his 24th home run of the season and the Mets have an instant 1 to 0 lead second time this year. Lindor has led off the first inning with a home run the 20th time in his career and the Mets strike early that's hit hard through the hole and Vientos has a base hit after homered on a 3 to 2 count vents with a sharp single on a 3 to 2 pitch payoff pitch on the way. First strikeout and first outer for Meyer today, ground ball up the middle Edwards is there the flip to Lopez and on to first dugout by Bryde nicely done. Marlins turn two but Lindor's leadoff homer makes it 1 to 0. Bryant leading off against luis Severino. Stay to a 1 to 0 lead tapper back to the mound. He's the sinker that time and he got Bryant on the comebacker low throw but Alonso goes down to get it and that's the first out. He drives this one to left center across comes Bader and he makes the catch and Then Hydra plays for the second out. Winker and Bader ground in the outfield early in this game had that one all the way. Nice slide and tried the back door slider. Didn't get the call from Jeremy Rehk Severino took a step toward the dugout thought he would get the strike three call and he struck him out, went up and away with the fastball for his second strikeout. He went 0 to 4 last night, Pete Birdie was chasing out of the strike zone last night, breaking balls down and away in the dirt fly ball, center field hill going back to the warning track at the, it's out of here. Alonso with a towering home run number 27 for second straight inning. The Mets have led off with a home run. Now, Alonso and it's 2 to 0. New York. That's 219 home runs now for Alonso now, just one behind mike Piazza for third on the Mets all time list and Jeff lays off ball four. There's the first walk given up by Meyer who hasn't walked many and that's foul tipped into the mid of Fortes and that's or did it hit him? I thought he called it strike three. I thought so too. The indication from the home plate umpire was foul tip and Then he changed his mind or just indicated that he made the wrong signal and sent Bader to first base. It's to pop this one up to left field. It is. Stoer is waiting for it to come down a bit of an adventure with an overcast sky and maybe some rain drops that is a base hit for vidal Bruja, a good start to the inning and nice to see bru back. Here's Xavier Edwards and that ball is thrown away, chased after by Alonso. Bruja turns second, he'll try for third and Then he thinks better of it and goes back. He was halfway to third base before he slammed on the brakes. It's an error on Severino moving Bruja to second and now Edwards one right to the bag at second and Lando has the runner trapped Deos running him back and mcneil will put the tag on. Now they have a play at second and the how about that? They have Bruja out in the rundown and Edwards who put the ball in play is now out at second base. And Edwards I think, thought that second base was going to be unoccupied, but Then Vientos made a great play to get there to make the tag bottom three. Nobody on and one out. I cracks one to center field hill going back and he can't get it. It's over his head. Nimmo racing for second. He's going to turn and for three , there will be no at third base with a one out and JD held the swing ball four and the Mets are runners at the corners with one out. Jesse Winker will try for a birthday RB. I Jesse turning 31 today. 2 to 2 to Winker and he hits one toward the middle of the diamond Lopez can't get a base hit and the score is Nemo Martinez stops at second Jesse Winker with a birthday RB. I, the ball is thrown away and the runners will move up to 2nd and 3rd. The Marlins throwing the ball around after the RB I hit by Winker makes it 3 to 0. New York Mets have a two out base runner , third walk giving up on me stand in pulled over the back. That's a fair ball that's going to go all the way into the deep corner. Digging for third styers gets to it. Leo is waved home and he will beat the relay throw. It's an RB I double for Mark Vientos and the Mets have scored for 1/4 straight inning. It's 4 to 0. New York leads off. The rain has gotten harder just when Keith said it was going to stop, we'll stop. You're just like a weatherman. You're wrong. Swings on 3 to 2 and grounds off to Alonso stumbles in the mud and Then get to the bag one out. Fortes pops up on the first pitch in comes mcneil with it. Number one, I think Severino's got it one under score. Usually the pitcher stays away. Alonzo and mcneil were there but Severino the tallest guy on the field and he makes the play. Meanwhile, the rain is falling harder and the grounds crew is out on the field trying to soak up some of the moisture getting the diamond dried down on the infield to mound the home plate area, but the rain is coming down faster than they can soak it up. The ground crew is finishing up and let's hope that Severino this little delay hasn't upset his rhythm. 61 pitches through five innings for Severino top of the batting order. Xavier Edwards gets a bunt down Vientos with the running toss and he got him at first base. Nice play by Vientos and that's it to Vientos. He scoops that one up and the overhand throw gets Berger three pitches, two outs for Severino grounds one down to first Severino who had a three pitch inning has a four pitch in Severino. He's been just in complete command under the glove of Severino, but Lior is right there to throw out Bride one out and nobody on that. Derek Hill had a half swing and Hill went around strike 3/4 strikeout for Severino two down last time Severino through this many innings up to 140 now was in 2018. His last all star year with the Yankees floater to shallow left. Nimmo coming on the with a terrific play in the another 123 frame for Severino who has handed the Mets seven scoreless. A lot of help from his defense. Eighth inning, luis Severino trying to go eight for the third time this year tired the last eight batters and he gets Lopez looking for the first out of the inning and he strikes him out shot him with a cutter on 3 to 2 back to back strikeouts for Severino to start the 8th, 3 to 2 is lined to left sending Nimmo back and that's going to hit off the bottom of the wall. Fortes is around first. Here comes the throw in to second. He dives in head first safely with a two out double here in the eighth round ball back to Seino and Luis Seino gets through eight innings for the third time this year with six strikeouts. Luis Severino taking the mound for the ninth inning, looking for his second career complete game. Jake Berger leads off in the ninth for Miami and he gets hit by the pitch. And after Severino plunks Berger Mendoza heads to the mound, we've seen him go to the mound before and not make a change. Baseball has toyed around with ideas for keeping starting pitchers games longer, best way to do that throw strikes and be dominant. Severino has done that today and he's earned the right to continue here in the ninth at 98 pitch one down in the ninth, seven strikeouts for Severino swinging a high pop foul outside first. Will it be playable? Alonzo hoping for room? He's got some, makes the one hand catch right next to the dugout two away. The ball game is over, luis Seino puts his fist after throwing a four hit shutout against the Miami Marlins. The first complete game for Severino since 2018, the first complete game of nine innings for the Mets since 2021 and an emphatic display by luis Seino as he strikes out eight and shuts out the Marlins 4 to 0.
