Mets vs. Padres Game Highlights (7/30/25) | MLB Highlights

Last night, the Mets with the loss on the field. But the bigger loss and the bigger scare was their star Juan Sodto who exited the game after fouling a pitch off the top of his foot. They feared potentially a break. X-rays negative. And there is a feeling according to Carlos Mendoza that the Mets did dodge a bullet there. Sodto not in the lineup today. It’s unclear whether or not he’ll be available off the bench. On the mound for the Padres’s is U Darvish. 38 years young. U Darvish making his fifth start. Remember start he was on the IIL, the 60-day IIL. Only his fifth start. Small sample size. And the streak starts today trying to rebound from three and a third last time out giving up eight runs. Swinging a miss. He struck him out on a slider. Good start for Darvish. Well, each game of this home stand, starting with the Mets on Monday, NMO has gone down by way of the K. Donnie, I know you would like that. Game one, game two, and game three right here. This one’s on the slider. Nice start for you, Darvish. Now, a right-handed hitter, the Met DH Mark Ventos, who has hit in eight consecutive games. 3-2 to Vientos and a breaking ball to head up the middle and Bentos has another base hit. So, Vientos just keeps on hitting. Nine-game hitting streak. A one out and one on now. Francisco Lindor popped up and it’s right around where Mana is and he’ll catch it. So he ended up being in the perfect spot and it’s out number two. Well, here’s Alonzo. If you’re going to throw the ball into him, you better get it way in like that to first and diving is a rise. Catches it in the air to end the first inning. Klay Holmes on the mound for the Mets today facing Fernando Tatis. Sinker is the word of the day with Klay Holmes, one of the great ground ball pitchers in baseball. Slow ground ball. Lindor on the charge and it gets Tatis one away. One out. Bottom of the first. Here’s the lefty Luis Arise. Inside out swing and a line drive. Base hit into left center field. Make it a 13 gamer. Well, he’s on base ahead of Machado. No score. Bottom of the first. Manny hit a home run last night. Going the other way as Machado to right center field. The rise will pull it up at second base. Throw is cut off and the Padres’s put together backto-back base hits here off Klay Holmes. Here’s Jackson Merrill with two on. He grounds one on the right side. Batty’s going to have to go to first with it. gets the out there as the runners move up to second and third. So Merrill retired and here is Xander Bulgarts inside ball four loads the bases. There’s walk allowed by Clay Holmes on the day. Bring up Jake Cronorth two coming swing and a miss. He struck him out. Got him with the change up. So Holmes works his way out of trouble in the opening inning and strands three. Two away in the second and with no score and the base is clear. Here’s the catcher Martine Maldonado. The grounder by the dive of Lindor. Oh, the catchers keep getting it done. Maldonado with a base hit with two down. That’ll bring out Fernando Tatis Jr. Look out. And down goes Fernando. Got him on the hand, I believe. Immediately going to his pinky on his left hand there. That was a 94 mph sinker and he hit the ground hard. He takes a very slow walk to first after the hit by Pinch. So, Holmes hits a batter. He has hit now eight batters this season and now he has to deal with the big issue, Luis Arise. Great lefty hitter. That’s ball four and he loses it. The bases are loaded for the second straight inning. This time it’s with Manny Machado coming up. Line to left and that’s a base hit. From third comes Maldonado. Here comes Fernando. Two runs will score. Padres’s on top two nothing. Manny Machado is hotter than a weekday afternoon in the city of St. Louis which we just experienced. But back home the bat is staying on fire. That ball is scalded right there. Hey, the grand slam would have been nice with a two-run single. That’ll work. It’s not over yet. First and third. Here’s Jackson Merrill. Jackson Merrill hits one to left center, but Taylor ranges over and gets it to end the inning. And there’s one away as center fielder Tyrone Taylor walks to the plate, goes the other way, bloops it to right, diving. It’s grounded worth. What a catch. You can hit it anywhere, but you cannot hit it to the crowd zone. What’s not to love about Jake Croninorth on that play? Luis Arise after that play. Everybody’s loving it. Luis Arise went over to Jake after that play. Gave him a little pat on the head right there. Our adorable little second baseman gets the job done. So, two outs, nobody on for NMO as Chronomorth collects his fourth star of the year and his second in a day. Swinging a miss. He struck him out. Fourth strikeout for you, Darmish. Gary, the last couple innings I spent out by the Mets bullpen just observing, watching Jos Buudo as the news of the trade sunk in in the middle of the inning, the bullpen phone rang. Jos Rosado, the bullpen coach, went over, picked it up, had a brief conversation, and then went over to Budau. Now, Jose Bhau getting the obligatory hugs from all of his teammates and coaches. It is now apparently official that Bhau has been traded to the Giants in the deal that brings the Mets, Tyler Rogers. And just like that, two outs in the bottom of the third. Jose Glacius now this is one hopper to short. Lindor has got it. Throw is low, but now Paul Delonzo apparently took the foot off the bag to make that catch and reaching is a Glacius with two down. Gavin Sheets batting in the eighth spot in the lineup for the first time since opening day. In the air to right field, struck pretty well by Gavin Sheets. That ball is back. That ball is gone. Gavin Sheets connects on a two-run home run. Padres’s take a four nothing lead. The two out era looms large here. Sets up the opportunity for Gavin Sheets. He gets the sweeper. This time it’s hung in the middle of the plate and he hits a bullet out to right center. Two-run shot for Gavin Sheets and uh everybody loves it. Three straight hits after the Lindor error. And now Luis Arise coming up. He’s already been a goal twice. And he slaps that one to the left side. Mauricio spins around and throws him half. But the Padres’s get a couple of unearned runs. Reed Garrett like Clay Holmes has walk issues and this is a lead walk in the bottom of the fifth inning. Now here’s Martine Maldonado. There goes Sheets. The pitch inside and I think it was a foul ball. It hit Alvarez, but it does appear that Sheets is going back to first base. Now the attention turns to Alvarez who got clipped by that foul ball on the side of the head. We’ve seen so many different occasions this year, usually Torren back there getting beat up by foul balls, but these unusual foul balls and it’s good thing he had that a hockey mask on. I was going to say if if he had been wearing a conventional mask, they probably would have hit him right in the ear. Right in the ear. Yeah, it could have been a lot worse. Alvarez takes one warm-up toss. Says he’s good to go. That’s on the outside corner and Maldonado is called out on strikes. That’s the first out of the inning. So now Louisa Rise rolls this one out to Batty. And so Garrett gets around the leadoff walk. One pitch and one retired for Darvis. She’s just been rolling through the first five plus innings. Here’s the leadoff man NMO 0 for two with a couple of KS on the ground. It is a fair ball and Arise will take it himself to the bag. So two down in the inning and Mark Ventos coming up here for New York. One round strikes out. Doug Edings agrees and another one, two, three inning for Darish. He caps it with a K and he is through six shutout innings. Four pitch walk for Fernando. Luis Arise the batter. He is singled and walk today and a base hit into right center field. So Fernando keeps on going. He goes to third. Padres have runners at the corners with nobody out here in the eighth inning. Really good chance to try to add on here. Manny Machado a two hit day. two RBI’s swing and a miss. Taken off for second is Arise throw there. He is safe. So striking out is Machado for the first out, but Arise takes second. Now the Mets don’t have a chance for a double play ball. And now meeting at the mound for Jackson Merrill’s played appearance. Merrill to center field. Tyrone Taylor going all the way back to make the catch on the edge of the track. Tang third and scoring is Fernando. Padres’s lead five nothing. Arise tagged up. He moved over to third base. Well, Jackson went over a high pitch right here. Watch where this pitch is. That’s up around the letters. Hits it deep enough for the sack fly. That’s some good hitting right there by number three. There’s that added run for you. And the Padres’s bring in the closer in an unsafe situation with a fiveun lead. Robert Suarez in. One away in the ninth inning. Here’s NMO. Nemo lines a base hit in center field. That one’s going to beat Maryland. go back to the wall and Nimble will pull in at second base with the Mets first extra base hit of the day. A one out double. So a man on second, one out for Ventos who had the first Met hit a one out single in the first inning. Swinging a miss. He struck him out. Two down in the ninth. First strike out for Robert Suarez. And he goes back to the Kabio. That’s the change for the swing and miss. Francisco Lur up the middle. The shorts stop Glacius to first. Padres’s win. They sweep the New York Mets in a three-game series today, shutting them out. Padres’s 15th shut out, most in Major League Baseball and most shutout wins before August in franchise history.
