00:01Walker wearing number ninety nine bats ninth for the Mets this evening yeah

00:06look at that last line their opponents average down at one sixty six he's

00:11become a better pitcher as he gets older and I say that because he's got a

00:15better pitch mix you'll see more sinkers than he's thrown in the past still has

00:19a real good four seamer but sinker sliders split changes very compact easy

00:24delivery and after being down 0 2 Acuna runs at full payoff speaking of which

00:31smokes that ball past the second base bat Acuna aboard to start the night to two

00:37and Freeman chased it high fastball which Walker likes gets the strikeout for

00:44the first out of the first great execution on Walker's part now Walker

00:48kicks and deals swing and a foul into the middle of Nino strike three side

00:52retired got him with a fastball no runs no hit or one hit man thrown out

00:58stealing nobody left middle of the first it's the Braves nothing in the

01:02Mets coming up will face the 23 year old New York native from Rexford up in

01:07Saratoga County that is Ian Anderson one of the best change-ups in the game his

01:13change-up is one of the best pitches in the game not afraid to throw in fact full

01:18counts his change-up use goes up it tells you how much confidence he has in

01:22that pitch the yard goes down on strikes Anderson with decay to start his night

01:28a lot of bring up Francisco Lindor and it's been fairly well documented the

01:32career low numbers 185 so far this year Contreras calls for it and it's delivered

01:39at the knees for called strike three now whole face James McCann who has had to

01:45convert to first base this week the 2-1 pitch lifted in the air to right field

01:50that's deep Acuna going back but the track at the wall it's gone a home run

01:55James McCann hits one right to the corner of the Honda clubhouse adjacent to the Mets

02:01bullpen for McCann his third home run of the year the Mets are leading by a score of

02:07one to nothing because he gets so many ground ball outs Ian Anderson does not give up many

02:12homers he'd only allowed one in his last seven starts but James McCann goes where he

02:18typically likes to go with his power to the opposite field with seven of the

02:22ten home runs that Austin Riley has hit this year have come in the last nine games and

02:29he ropes one into left field for a base hit he's kind of set up to use that sinker in if

02:33he wants 2-2 little arm side run what a play at third by Jonathan Biar some sparkling defense at the

02:44corners in this game between Atlanta and New York he robs William Contreras what could have been

02:50extra bases maybe even an RBI runners can move on this 3-2 Walker squaring the punt and he takes the

02:58walk and the bases are loaded and back to the top of the order for the Mets 3-1 to VR and a drive to

03:06right field Acuna back at the track and he's got it Mets leave him loaded Anderson gets out after a

03:16loud VR out to the warning track Ian and the Braves dodge a huge bullet that was a fastball right down the

03:22middle of the plate throughout nobody on third inning one nothing the Mets have the lead Walker's

03:27downhill the pitch on the outside corner strike three called a breaking ball again and Walker

03:34close to one two three inning his first of the night Anderson's 0-1 McCann it's a line drive

03:39towards center chasing Heredia back still going reaching up it's off his glove it falls in behind

03:44him and rolls toward the fence in center field McCann gets to second now he's on his way to third

03:48relay throw from Swanson won't be made McCann slides into third base safely we'll see if that's

03:55ruled a triple if it is well McCann's got the two hard parts of the cycle done it would be a home run

04:01in his first at bat and a triple here off the glove of Guillermo Heredia that's a ball that clearly should

04:07have been caught by Heredia and I think McCann was quite content to stop at second base they're calling

04:13it it's kind of like you know splitting the baby here they're calling it a double and an error that

04:19ball's got to be caught I'm sorry that's leading one nothing trying to add on on this two two back up

04:25the middle past the diving Swanson it's two nothing New York Dom Smith with the RBI Dominic Smith with

04:31the infield and just reached out and tapped the ball up the middle Swanson with a step to his right

04:36lunged after it with a dive but he couldn't quite reach it Riley bats now at three infielders on the

04:42left Albies at first oh two round ball up the middle behind second Peraza's got it steps on

04:48second throw to first double play to win the inning Cameron Mabin will be the batter is one out away

04:54here from a Mets record and he does not want the longest hit lift streak to begin a Mets career

05:030 for 26 Mabin has tied Charlie Smith 0-1 Mabin lines one toward right it moves Acuna toward the corner

05:11to his left making the catch at his left hip to retire Cameron Mabin so there's 0 for 27 and a

05:17new Mets record for the longest hit list streak to begin a Mets career well they won't give him the

05:22baseball for that but someday some year somebody will ask the question and Cameron Mabin will be

05:28the answer until somebody else comes along and Adrian says the left fielder tonight struck out his first

05:34time Raven a miss for Adrianza to Contreras two for five in Boston with a homer in there strike three

05:41called side retired he got him with a fastball Walker gently pounds his fist the halfway point

05:48tonight Jonathan Villar is at the top of the Mets order to lead it off in the home half of the fifth

05:52against Ian Anderson Villar cranks one deep to center already a racing back at the wall hit towards

06:00the apple three nothing Mets a charge from Villar Villar missed a grand slam earlier to right

06:08he did not miss to dead center this was a no-doubter 93 right down the middle and Newcomb will try to

06:15stop the bleeding here in the bottom of the fifth inning on the ground good scoop from third by Riley

06:21they'll get the force out at second base but the run scores and it's four to nothing Mets Lindor across

06:27so that runner is still at third for Freeman now Castro if he wants can throw that change up

06:32three two way inside it gets away from needle and Atlanta will score its first run on the wild pitch

06:39one down for Cameron Mabin still seeking that elusive first New York Met hit the 1-0 on the way nub

06:45slowly third baseline if it stays fair it's a hit they're letting it roll letting it roll it's going

06:50to stop it's a fair ball right next to third base Cameron Mabin has his first Mets hit after 0 for 27 and

06:58he's getting a standing ovation from the crowd and now Brandon Drury will bat for Miguel Castro

07:04water goes Drury swings and sends one to a deep left field high and gone

07:11a pinch hit two-run blast the third Mets home run of the night it's six to one oh and one the count now the

07:19pitch ground ball shortstop hole Swanson slides can't get it it's under his glove and into left field

07:25they are races around the score and it's seven to one Mets Lindor is fired up at third as McCann delivers again

07:32Jay Flaw is on runners at the corners here as Nito was struck out twice a little brown ball in the left

07:39field off the bat of Nito Kenny said it he's been hitting and he drives in another a four run sixth

07:46inning and eight to one Mets lead Billy McKinney will be the ninth man to bat in the inning and eight runs

07:52matches the Mets season high hammered to right Billy McKinney keeps on adding for the Mets with an

08:01upper deck shot his first Mets home run and it is 11 to 1 New York there's a little of that power

08:16Mets a season high 1-1 breaking ball hit up the middle Tovar to his left snags it then slips from

08:23his knees chucks it to first McCann digs it out and Contreras is out to end the inning Will Tovar

08:30slipped on the outfield grass after snagging that hard hit ball off the bat of Contreras and from his

08:36knees he just threw it as hard as he could now Lindor will bat with two outs Lindor hits one in the air

08:42right center fairly well back goes Acuna that ball's deep and it's gone home run Francisco Lindor
