wow the first pitcher ever to no hit the Mets was Sandy kofax he did that in the Mets first season in 1962 Jim Bunning threw a perfect game against the Mets on Father's Day at sha stadium in the first year that it was open in 1964 Bill Stoneman Bob moose Ed hicki Daryl Kyle Chris hon Max Scherzer those are the pitchers to throw no hitters against the Mets Dave Steve has the only no hitter in blue jay history that came in Cleveland in 1990 there's a breaking ball Wicked breaking ball and he finally got it done he had lost a no hitter on a bad hop grounder that went over the head of domaso Garcia at second base earlier in his Jay's career and now here is 28-year-old Bowen Francis who was not even a full-time member of the Jay's rotation until late July pitched well enough in August including that no hit bit against the angels that he was named American league pitcher of the month for August he has been pitching brilliantly and today he has struck out only one walked one hit two batters given up several Hardline drives but he has a no hit bid through eight he's faed three over the minimum so the Mets will get the top of the batting order up in the ninth Lindor has one of the line drive outs today line one right to Guerrero at first base in the sixth inning Here We Go Round of 29,3 99 here at Rogers Center watches Francis get his first fast ball in for a strike to start the ninth inning a game the Mets desperately need they're heading into a gauntlet starting on Friday seven games in the next 10 against the first place Phillies ah is it probably the best splitter he's thrown all day absolutely and it's 0 and two and remember his last no hit bid the lead off hitter in the ninth hit the home run to end it that's driven to deep right field and a home run ends this no Hit Bit Lin sanity Francisco Lindor ties the game with a ninth inning home run as big a hit as the mits have had all season Francisco Lindor breaks up the no hit bin and the shut out and he ties the game with his 31st home run of the year and it's one to one in the ninth oh wow and bow and Francis for the second time in 18 days came within three outs but couldn't quite close the deal gets a double pat on the shoulder from his manager John Schneider as the Mets celebrate Lindor tying home run the Jays can only think about what might have [Applause] been Chad green the former Yankee on after Bowen francis's no hit bit and on a leadoff home run by Lindor to tie up this game and for the second time in 18 days Bowen Francis has tasted the ninth inning in a no hit bid only to see it end on a long ball oh my wor in the same way g a home run in the ninth the leadoff home run it was uh Taylor W to hit the home run that broke up his home as no hitter against the Angels now lasus swings and misses at a slider one and two second time this year the Mets have broken up a no hit bid with a home run JD Martinez did it against the Braves when Max freed had a no hit bid through seven so we'll see if the Mets can build off that their first home run in the last four games Edwin deaz getting ready in the bullpen and the first home run by either team in this series gasius chops one slowly Del Los Santos charging fires it high and it goes into the camera well and igus will get second base delos Santos made a great play charging but then the throw was terrible and alaus will carry the go-ahead run to second base 02 fast ball from Francis on the Home Run o and two look at the catcher set up with a high Strike Zone but what did he do Bell tie middle he wanted it up and see if Francisco would Chase above the strike zone one mistake and he paid it paid the price so now Mark Vientos with the go-ahead run at second and nobody out marks 0 for three today 0 for his last 16 did they ruled that a base hit they sure did yeah they're calling it an infield hit for a glacius and then there on Delo Santos I think he would have been out I think that's a two basee error but I agree with you pantos has at least got to get this ball to the right side and green keeping it away from him throws the slider away he's played a very nice Third Base today Des Santos but you know what look at the glaus all that's a Bas you got to give it to me always hustles down the line well remember that Luis Del Los Santos is making his fifth Major League start tight game ninth inning he shows a lot of athlet athleticism he's light on his feet he's made all the plays now it's three and0 to Vientos with nmo on deck and Mark takes inside ball four and the Mets have two men on so the home run by Lindor sparking the Mets eaus gets aboard on the infield hit and now Vientos draws a walk and the Mets are poised to try and grab the lead in the ninth with Nemo and Lonzo coming up sha maniah tipping his cap to Bowen Francis and returning the favor respect two pitchers pitched great games today manah allowed just one run over six and 2/3 Bowen Francis allowed just the one hit through eight plus they're discussing on the mound right now they're been doing their bunt play I know Nemo is hitting in the four spot this is a big game they're all huge games look at Bader climbing the wall there dangerous get down from there I got to put the bun on here get the second and third the this is every game is so important Lonzo and Martinez behind n Mo but this is the one leftand hitter in this stretch they do play the corners in looking for the bun from Nemo but he's not squaring and he takes inside ball one I think you have to let Nemo swing give him a lot of times a manager will give a hitter one strike he's tough to double up the corners are in and green gets fast ball in for a strike one and one short stop way up the middle that would be Clement and look at that hole on the left side of the infield green worked a one two three inning last night and he throws a slider at the feet of Nimo he's not been able to command that slider early on he's giving up an infield hit and a walk and now he's two and one on nmo with a lzo on deck he's swinging the bat now Guerrero's moved back playing deep at first base and nmo takes inside and now it's three and one just for reference Brandon does not have a sacrifice this season he's not going no hint of a butt here and now it's three and one he's not going to get one here now that three and one is right glacius carrying the go-ahead run at second Vientos at first nobody out and nmo takes a strike three and two Chad green Preston to duty as the closer this year for the Blue Jays when Jordan Romano got hurt he's got 16 saves but he's given up eight home runs in 48 Innings 3-2 coming and Nimo walks and the bases are loaded hasn't been able to get his slider over and he throws a 3-2 slider and with that walk Brandon Nemo ties for sixth place on the Mets alltime walk list with 471 tying Keith Hernandez oh boy next up is Wayne Garrett at 482 so Bas has loaded nobody out a chance for Alonzo and it's no secret that Pete has struggled in these situations this year look at that just 31% of the time getting Runner home for third with less than two out he's hitting 209 with runners in scoring position but all of that is in the past if he can get a big knock here infield in Bas is loaded nobody out igus at third Vientos at second at first Pat is 0 for two today and he fouls off a first pitch slider nothing and one Eddie Alvarez pinch running for Vientos at second Alonzo chases a slider and it's own and two so tough tough for Pete in these big RBI situations but a lot of [Music] Chase JD Martinez on [Music] Deck 02 from green to Alonzo and he laid off that slider one one and two green has faced three batters hasn't retired anybody after retiring all three of his hitters last night onew coming and Lonzo again lays off the slider away and it's two and two so some good takes on the last two pitches by Pete who's two for four against Shawn Green with a home run in his career so he's enjoyed success against this pitcher Pete has three career Grand Slams two two coming and he flies one out to right should get the run in Lucas back he makes the catch here comes acius with the goahead Run going to third is Alvarez Mets go in front two to one pet Alonzo gets the run in with a sacrifice fly and the Mets grab the lead with a two-run ninth inning it's two to one New York well Pete took a real feeble swing on the second strike but then he tightened it up and he also Advanced the runner to third here so so that's another sacrifice fly to give a two-run lead a big run out [Music] there so the home run by Lindor tied the game the sock fly by Alonzo puts the Mets in front now JD Martinez trying to get an insurance run and they're playing the infield halfway which doesn't make any sense you got JD Martinez at the plate a ground ball is going to be an automatic double play why would you play the infield halfway I wouldn't play him that tight I'd play him another maybe 5T 6 feet deeper I agree with you gear Alvarez at third nmo at first with one out and a swing in the Miss at a high slider and it's 0 and two boy he's got that right side of the infield wide open for JD and when Diaz getting ready for the save chance in the bottom of the ninth the Jays will be due to send up vario de los Santos and Lil perfo 67 and8 in the order look at that right side of the infield Taylor Made for JD down in the count 0 and two and he shoots one foul always looking to go to right field in these RBI situations Francisco Lindor hit the tying home run the Met's first hit of the game on an 02 pitch it's only the second home run he hit this year on an 02 pitch the first one came in April in San Francisco and JD tried to lay off and stopped it in time one and two Starling Marte the on Deck batter [Music] Guardians beat the White Soxs today 6 to4 that's 114 losses now for Chicago I can hear you knocking and you can come in one and two to Martinez and that almost got by Servin who backhands it and it's two and two Keith and I are done here Gary apple and Andy Tino will have Mets postgame live 22 to JD and the slider misses and it's three and two so after green got ahead of him two strikes he dabbles around the strike zone and goes to a Full Count this will be his 27th pitch Marte to follow nmo at first with one out and green steps off send Brandon here no I wouldn't he's running and it's ball four and the bases again are loaded third walk of the inning issued by Chad green so green has faced five batters he's given up an infield hit three walks in a sacrifice fly and now the Mets with a chance to add to this one-run lead with Sterling Marte now you got to bring the infield in a little bit because Marte runs much better yep and they're going to bring it almost all the way in now Marte 0 for two in a walk today and he takes fast ball on the corner for a strike nothing and one Marte hitting an even 300 this year with runners in scoring position lifetime 330 with the base is loaded Bader's ready to hop up on that railing again that's away he's just has not been able to throw that slider for a strike one and one one and one to Marte and he takes another slider outside it's two and one wow Eddie Alvarez is on third nmo at second Martinez at first still only one out with two runs home in the to top of the ninth and Marte pops one up not very deep in right field Alvarez tagging it third Lucas gets under it makes the catch Here Comes Alvarez here comes the throw from Lucas it's up the line Alvarez scores second sacrifice fly of the inning for the Mets as Marte gets the run in and the Mets now have a three to one lead big run Eddie Alvarez paying dividends scored as a pinch runner in the opening game of the series and does the same here took third on the sack fly by Alonzo and comes home on the sack fly by Marte not a good throw plenty of time to get under it and look what he does he does no momentum coming forward and another mistake catching the ball on his glove side instead of on his arm side it's the ninth put out for Lucas in right field but the last two have brought in runs pitching change for the Jays Mets have scored three in the ninth to take a two-run lead more coming up from Toronto in a moment Andis Cabrera comes on to try and get the final out on the top of the ninth Francisco Alvarez the eighth man up in the inning two out and two on and Alvarez slams one to deep center field Faro back takes a look and it's out of here Francisco Alvarez brings the hammer down with a three run Homer Alvarez on the first pitch thrown by Cabrera it's his seventh home run of the year and the MS have scored six times in the ninth they blown it open it's 6 to one Lindor started it with a home run and Alvarez brings the house down with a home run first pitch fast ball what a ninth inning yeah go ahead and do it we have recently seen Alvarez use the middle of the field more mostly on the ground but this one he got up in the air and it was right down the pipe and that's how strong he is Jesse Winker up for the second time oh it's Tyrone Taylor batting for Winker to bring Taylor in for defense anyway with the Lefty in the game he gets the turn it back what an inning for the Mets a game they needed so badly they didn't have a hit for the first eight Innings Lindor down in the count 0 and2 bow and Francis rolling Lindor hits one out of the ballpark and the Mets continue to roll from there [Music] Taylor carves one foul down the right side oh there's a view from top side it's right down the middle and he clobbers it so you can see right there first home run since August 19th for Alvarez [Music] well there's always an advantage when you're in a pennant race and you play the early game if you can win yes you put that number on the board Braves are seeing that down in DC as they get ready for their game that's about an hour from starting giant green a r go we've seen green good before but this was not his best work three walks hit and a couple of sacrifice flies over 2/3 of an inning seventh pitch coming to Taylor and he Rockets one down the left field line back toward the corner and it's off the wall Taylor heads for second and he's in standing with a two out double so Tyrone tayor with the fourth out of the inning and the third extra base hit ball down in the strike zone let go with one hand little off speed the Mets through the first 26 Innings of this series had one extra base hit they have three extra base hits here in the ninth two two home runs and now the double by Taylor and now Lindor who leted off the inning with a home run batting left-handed bats right-handed against Cabrera and takes a slider down for ball one Diamond Backs have pulled away from the Rangers it's now 11 to4 Arizona in the sixth with the Mets building a bigger lead Ryan stanik gets up in the bullpit Diaz had been ready for the save opportunity butes look like one is going to present itself now two and0 to Lindor and he takes inside and so Cabrera having trouble finishing off this inning he like green worked a one two three inning last night but being asked to pitch a second straight day that's a big one for Francisco Alvarez he needed that kind of payoff the had bats have been better the last week and he finally gets the result inside ball four so Lindor draws the fourth walk of the inning and we continue on greeden did not retire any of his first three batters and now Cabrera has not retired any of his first three batters Luis Fus gets up now in the Toronto Bullpen Jose glacius the 11th man up he had the infield single that greeted green earlier in this inning and he takes first pitch cutter for a strike nothing and one glacius with that infield hit in the ninth now it's a six-game hitting streak and he hits one of a deep center field varo back way back and on the warning track he makes the catch to put an end to the inning but 11 Mets came to bat and six of them scored bracketed by the Francisco Lindor with the biggest hit of the year for New York to tie the game and then Alvarez put a Capper on it with a three-run shot 6-1 New York with three outs to get
