FINAL 3 OUTS: Cue the trumpets! Edwin Díaz shuts the door and closes the game for the Mets!
Another big night for Brett Batty and his coming out party here these last few weeks. 5-2 the Mets in front. Edwin Diaz looking for a four out save after seven and two/3 from David Peterson. Ball one on T Ocar Hernandez. Dodgers trying to do what the Mets did yesterday and that is go into the ninth inning down five to two only to rally and keep the game moving. One ball, one strike. And Edwin Diaz does not have a four out save or any save longer than one inning this year. So this will be new territory for him at least this year. Ahead one and two. Mets just two and six over their last eight games. Going through it a bit right now. Offense coming to life the last few days relative to what they had been doing since Carlos Mendoza made the change to the lineup. moving Sodto and Alonzo down the one two swing and a miss. Two hitters, two Ks for Edwin Diaz. Just a filthy slider after 96 up and then he throws this. There’s just nothing you can do as a hitter. You got to pick one or the other and sell out for it. Freddy Freeman hitless in this series 0 for three today. Takes a strike. Oh, and two on three pitches. Good morning, good afternoon, and good night against the major league average [Applause] leader. Two sliders and then a fast ball. After seeing those sliders, Freddy has to protect. He has those in a good location. One goes left, that one goes right. He punches out Tay Oscar and Freddy. 10ks for Mets pitching in this game. Pah strike one. Five consecutive outs via the strikeout between Peterson and Diaz. Series will wrap up tomorrow on Sunday Night Baseball and in Knack for the Dodgers. Kodi Sanga, one of the top pitchers in baseball this year, goes for New York. Bouncing ball towards the middle. Lacon is there and the Mets have tied this series up at a game a piece. Pitching masterpiece tonight on a night where they had to have it. Oh yeah. Oh my goodness. We saw it in Boston earlier today getting ready for the Indie 500. That is not going to be easy to
Earlier in the game, Brett Baty and Juan Soto drove in two runs each as the Mets draw level in the series vs. the Dodgers.
