00:00Charlie Morton, meanwhile, going for the Atlanta Braves,

00:02and he has deGrom-like numbers against the Mets this year

00:05in a couple of starts at 0.69 ERA.

00:09Pete Alonzo up to the plate.

00:100-1 to Alonzo.

00:12Line drive right to Freddie Freeman, and on a knee,

00:15he squeezes out number three.

00:17No runs, no hits, no errors.

00:20One man left.

00:21We played a half an inning.

00:22Mets nothing.

00:23Now the Braves coming up when we come back.

00:25Youngster Tyler McGill will make his second Major League start,

00:30and he did so against the Braves his last time out.

00:33Ronald Acuna leads off.

00:34Wasn't in the lineup against McGill the first time that Tyler faced them last week.

00:40And it's on the inside corner.

00:42Back up slider from McGill to get Acuna for the first down.

00:46So one out and nobody on that, Freddie Freeman.

00:48Freddie had two of his hits in a four-hit game against McGill last Wednesday.

00:53And he goes down swinging on the slider.

00:57And McGill's got back-to-back strikeouts on six pitches to start the game.

01:02Albies, like Acuna, has struggled against the Mets this year, just four for 28.

01:06In fact, the Braves as a team have a 178 average against Mets pitching this year.

01:13And a back-foot slider, and this time he went around for strike three.

01:16And so McGill strikes out the side on 11 pitches rather than nine.

01:21Quite a start for the rookie.

01:22No score after one.

01:23And Stansby Swanson hitting fifth in the order.

01:27And Swanson takes a slider for strike three called.

01:30Generous call by Adam Beck.

01:32And McGill's got his fourth strikeout.

01:34So McGill with a chance to get through the inning, first and third and two down.

01:37And now the number eight hitter, William Contreras.

01:40Travis Darno down for probably the majority of the season.

01:44After tearing up his thumb and Alex Jackson, who was supposed to be his backup, has been out for most of the year as well.

01:49So that's pushed Contreras into the number one spot with Kevin Smith as his backup.

01:56And he drives one out to left center field.

01:58Coming on is Dom Smith.

02:00Diving, and he makes the catch!

02:03Dom got just enough of a jump.

02:06Now McNeil, who had a run-scoring hit in last night's game, knocking home a man who was in scoring position.

02:13Something McNeil's hardly done this year.

02:15Here's the one-two pitch.

02:17It's a check swing for strike three.

02:20It skips away from Contreras, but McNeil was walking back to the dugout.

02:24That secures the strikeout.

02:25And his first strikeout of the ballgame.

02:27We head to the bottom of the third inning.

02:28No score in Atlanta.

02:31One out and one on for Freddie Freeman, who struck out his first time up.

02:35Good battle going here between McGill and Freeman.

02:37This will be the seventh pitch.

02:39And he struck him out with a changeup.

02:41So McGill picks up his fifth strikeout as he gets Freeman for the second time.

02:48Lindor had that sack bunt back in the first inning.

02:52Got him to swing at that one, and Lindor will be thrown out with a good peg to first.

02:56And back-to-back strikeouts for Charlie, who has set down ten straight.

03:01Two down for Dominic Smith, who's over one with a ground out.

03:04One-two pitch.

03:05Got him looking.

03:06Strike three.

03:08Fastball takes care of Dominic Smith and the Mets here in the top of the fourth.

03:11Fourth inning.

03:13Three strikeouts now for Morton in the ballgame.

03:15No runs, one hit, no errors, and none left.

03:17We head to the bottom of the fourth inning.

03:19Mets and Braves scoreless in Atlanta.

03:22McGill has turned in three scoreless innings.

03:24He's given up a hit and two walks over the first three, striking out five.

03:28Riley has the hit, a single to right center in the second.

03:32Seventh pitch of the bat coming from McGill to Riley.

03:35And he struck him out with a slider.

03:38Six strikeouts now for Tyler McGill.

03:40And that's the first out in the fourth.

03:43Dasby Swanson took a call.

03:44Third strike his first time up.

03:46One-two coming to Swanson.

03:48And he struck him out with high heat.

03:51Tyler McGill showing off all his wares tonight.

03:54He's got seven strikeouts.

03:56Pillar hit one off the end of the bat.

03:58Grounded out to Freddie his first time.

04:01Shift on for Pillar to the left side.

04:02The pitch.

04:04Check swing.

04:04Did he go?

04:05Doesn't matter.

04:06Pillar's headed to the dugout.

04:07He didn't even wait for the call.

04:10He just spun around and headed to the dugout.

04:14Strikeout number four for Charlie.

04:15That was funny.

04:17James McCann.

04:18Flied to center his first time.

04:21The wind and the two-two to McCann.

04:23Another curve.

04:24Swung on and missed.

04:25It was in the left-handed batter's box.

04:27Backhanded by Contreras.

04:29He has to wait for McCann to get to the grass.

04:32And then he's rung up by Beck.

04:35Strikeout number five for Charlie Morton.

04:39Three in a row.

04:39And I swear that pitch bounced in the left-handed batter's box.

04:43Charlie Morton grounded out his first time up.

04:45And he goes down on three pitches against McGill in this at bat.

04:49Eight strikeouts now for Tyler.

04:51Two out.

04:52Braves trying to be the first ones on the board.

04:55Acuna at third.

04:56Freeman at first.

04:57Ozzie the batter.

04:59He has really scuffled against the Mets this year.

05:01Four for 30.

05:02Swings at the first pitch and sends a drive toward the Braves.

05:06Bullpen way back.

05:07That ball is gone.

05:09Over on Ozzie on the first pitch.

05:11Three to nothing Braves on a rocket out of here by Ozzie.

05:17Albies is 13th of the year.

05:20Scuffle no more against the Metro.

05:22Lindor has put down a sacrifice button first and struck out in the fourth.

05:28No balls two strikes fourth.

05:29He met shortstop Lindor who sacrificed and struck out.

05:33And he just struck out again on a breaking ball.

05:36He has gone to his knee a couple of times.

05:38And Charlie Morton carves him up.

05:39That's six.

05:40Michael Conforto singled his last time up on a fastball.

05:45Ninety-seven.

05:46He had a rocket back to center.

05:48And a swing and a miss.

05:49Conforto couldn't catch up to the curveball.

05:52Back-to-back strikeouts again.

05:53That's seven.

05:54Charlie Morton has grounded on struck out over two.

05:57One-two coming from Drew Smith.

05:59And it's hit back up the middle.

06:01Lindor behind the bag able to snag it.

06:04And he throws on Morton throughout the inning.

06:06And now the Mets will get the tying run to bat in the seventh with James McCann coming up.

06:10One-two coming to McCann.

06:12And he lofts one to deep left center field.

06:14Back in the gap goes Heredia at the wall.

06:17It's out of here.

06:18James McCann ties the game with a three-run homer.

06:23The Mets get the big hit they've been looking for.

06:26Seventh home run of the year for McCann.

06:28And this game is even three-to-three in the seventh.

06:32As Lindor is 0-for-2 in a sacrifice.

06:35And Lindor cracks one.

06:36Base hit in the left center field.

06:38And that will bring home the lead run.

06:40Perraza in to score.

06:42Francisco Lindor with a big two-odd hit.

06:44And the Mets lead at 4-3 in the seventh.

06:48We've got Albert Almora up there.

06:50Here's the 1-0 on the way.

06:52Round ball out to Dansby.

06:53Takes it on two hops to Ozzie for one.

06:55Ozzie to Freddie.

06:56Double play.

06:58And thus the Braves are down to their final lap.

07:00But they've got Ronald Acuna Jr. coming to the plate.

07:03One for three in a walk tonight.

07:05And he pops the first pitch up.

07:07Into shallow right field.

07:08In comes Conforto.

07:10Out goes Perraza.

07:11Conforto makes the catch.

07:12And the ball game is over.
